    Sexing Ducklings (Please check here first :D )

    So I originally thought my three ducks had a ratio of 1 male 2 female but I may be looking at two males and 1 female now the only one that quacks is my baby marbles and the others are raspy. I have no clue though because none have the drake feather :barnie They are all roughly two months and...

    Really concerned

    My one runner has started coughing just today but I'm worried about it. They were left outside in the drizzle. I was wondering if it's a chill or something else.

    Thanks for this!!! I don't recall the guy we got them from having any mallards in his flock they do have that striking pattern though so I am very confused.

    Replacement for VetRx

    I've noticed a lot of people from Canada have an issue with buying VetRx due to many suppliers not shipping it across borders. This is understandable as not all countries have the same medication regulations, but for all my Canadian and Non-U.S inhabitants I have some easily found oils that...

    HELP!!! Limping!

    He seems fine in the water it's just walking around. We could take them to a vet but that would be a long drive out a require the day to do. There isn't any signs of an injury.

    HELP!!! Limping!

    What would you recommend for grit? And when should you see signs that the niacin is setting in? Would it be a few days or weeks until you see the effects of niacin?

    HELP!!! Limping!

    The feed is ground up into a fine crumble like consistency. Would you still recommend grit even with ground up feed?
  15. Ducklebutt

    HELP!!! Limping!

    Yes we have done warm water therapy a few times now and he seems to really like it. We haven't put any other vitamins in the food. What do you suggest? We put niacin in the water but that's it. Our feed is comprised of pearl oats, peanuts, chickpeas, lentils, peas, sunflower seeds, and we add...
