I have some Aylesbury x Runner ducklings for sale. They have beautiful markings and the parents are excellent layers year round. They are unsexed. They have been raised from hatch in the house so have been handled and been around dogs and children. Im asking for £10 each to go towards...

Introducing my new hatch of Aylesbury x Runner ducklings (+1 or 2 Aylesburys). They are absolutely stunning and I will be sorry to see them go when they sell, although I do have a favourite, the very dark one in the middle, and might keep that one. I have also decided that the collective...

I have used chloramphenicol eye drops on my animals with eye infections (and my children, husband and me when advised by the pharmacist) which I find much easier than ointment. It effectively does the same thing as the terramycin (had to look it up) just the drops are easier and quicker to...

Ive had a couple like that too in the past. Its still heartbreaking.

I dont wash them if I dont have to.... But my girls are completely and right royally disgusting (completely happy l though, like pigs in, well, mud!) and these particular eggs were absolutely caked. Honestly they looked like mud rock.

@Miss Lydia not even close. 2 weeks absolute max. Incubation time so at least 2 weeks to go.

I think I have some similar to that. Ive also got some "mudcake billed ducks"

@Jemima Duck Manchester here.

I concur that it's an injury. As i said i initially started treating it as if it were a break, assuming he got stomped or squished or twisted by the other ducklings. I still think it is a break but since I contacted our local exotic vet to ask a question about pinioning and they didnt even...

Yes he is.

Its when those beady eyes... Or rather that single sideways looking beady eye sizes you up and makes you wonder who is in charge of whom. Lol... Ducks are crackpots. One minute they dont want you near them, the next they are under your feet. They will go on the new areas once they get...

Yesterday there was nothing... In the first pics the ankle is swollen and bruised but the foot was dry, pretty much crispy but since I put him back with the others it is now warmer, hydrated, like all of a sudden the blood flow returned. So here is a vid of him getting about. Dont judge, there...

@Miss Lydia I didn't do anything! I wouldnt say it is healthy but it's a darn sight better than yesterday!
