    male? is "he" too big?

    I have tons of ducks, The females can swim away, especially mallards. they will just dive under and push away. Don't worry about it, they are both fine. Plus they are bonded, so your doing more harm than good by separating

    GRAPHIC PICTURE!! malformed beak on deceased duck??!

    i'm looking for answers. at this point I'm referring to this duckling as a specimen, just because its so odd... This specimen has a malformed beak (top) and legs that turn in at the feet. The specimen doesn't have an egg tooth, it had a white spot where the egg tooth should be. anyone have...

    So, change of plans, sadly. The duck had a malformed beak as well as inverted legs and in result, didn't hatch. We wont be purchasing the 3 ducks anymore. TRIGGER WARNING!!! Graphic photo . . . . . . . . . . . . . . On the good news, I put 12 new eggs in the incubator.

I went to make a safety hole (which I've done many times before, and...

    Mass - not egg material

    That would make sense, I am more knowledgeable in ducks (I owned chickens for a while though). But after some research... https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10376345/#:~:text=Traditionally%2C%20ALV%2DA%20followed%20by,range%20between%201%20and%202%25. - here's my main article I was...

    Mass - not egg material

    I forgot to add... If the necropsy was performed by said vet that gave you zero results from the "surgery", I wouldn't trust the results, period.

    Mass - not egg material

    Opinions: That would be odd for both hens to pass of cancer, If this one passes. Are they related, or is there an environmental issue? Also you probably need to check the vet and see if they are an avian, farm, or general exotic vet. There are huge differences in the types of veterinary work...
