In the below picture we have a coop & we normally have it FULLY covered besides the front for air & ventilation- on sunny days, we pull the tarp half over like shown below for the ducks to get the light & enjoy the nice day. Every time it rains, we of course have it full covered besides the...

I have a question about the Oxine that I have. I know you can mix 1/8 tsp per gallon of water for them to drink. Does that get into their system and help them with diseases such as respiratory when they drink? And does it have to be activated or non activated when you put it in water for them to...

Can someone tell me what my duck is doing in the attached video? It also appears that he’s sneezing/coughing but didn’t catch that on video. Also, you can hear them breathing. Is that normal? The duck has never done this before but I’ve been able to hear them breathe for a while now.

okay, i appreciate all the help. i hope this works! i have read a lot of good reviews on Oxine!

Thats the website where i place my order for the Oxine, its coming today! On the website you just shared above, it says "I use 1/8 tsp/gallon of water in my chickens’ drinking water every other day to keep down the biofilm (slime) that forms on the inside of the waterers." So do you think 1/8...

The waterer i have for them i believe is a gallon size container

I understand what i said but i want opinions and i want people who have experience with using Oxine to comment, that's why i created this forum. I want to use Oxine or whatever to keep the water jug clean and no slimy, they also might have or be getting respiratory Infection. I have heard of...

I did see that on their website, but i wanted to see if other people used Oxine in their ducks waterers and how it worked out.

Just to confirm, you put a tablespoon of Apple Vinegar Cider per gallon? Is apple cider vinegar better to use or you don't think it'll matter? Also, do you think itll be safe to use a tablespoon of Oxine per gallon of water??

The Oxine was purchased online and will be delivered today. I do not have the Citric Acid Activator. So you dont put anything in their drinking water, you only use the stuff to clean their drinking container out and thats all??

Good Day- Is it okay to put Oxine in my ducks water? I have read that Oxine helps break down the slime build up in their waterer container. If its okay to put Oxine in their waterer, how much per gallon should i use? Thank you in advance.

Thanks for the response! The only thing is that I can hear them breathing. No nasal discharge or eye bubbles. Other than the breathing, they seem perfectly fine. I clean the coop out 3 times a day also. Have any suggestions what to do for the breathing?

Hi! I think my ducks may have a cold or a respiratory disease. I can hear them breathing. They seem like they have stuffy noses. Other than that, they seem just fine! They get baths about 3 times a day and eat and drink just fine. Energy levels are completely normal too. I’m just wondering what...

Thank you everyone for your advice and all of your help! We are going out tomorrow to get a bigger coop for them. What is the best way to start keeping it more clean? Before they hatched, I read it was safer to use a towel for their bedding in their coop. Wood shavings & hay straw weren’t...
