    Well, since he is still young, there is still a chance to fix it. You can use waterproof tape, or a strong, but not harmful tape and place it in the correct position. Then you can tape it, so the wing will grow in the correct position. However, that part of his wing may just be growing faster...

    feathers everywhere

    Do not worry. Your chickens are perfectly fine. All chickens will molt annually, their first occurs around 16-18 months of age. However, your chickens and many others may just be molting early. During a molt, chickens will lose their feathers and grow new ones. Molting occurs in response to...

    Duck feed advice

    No. This feed has everything your duck needs to live a healthy life. This feed is high in protein, so egg production will be high, along with size. However, adding oats to this will slow down growth, which will allow a longer lifespan for your duck. You may add the yeast, but it is not...

    Duck feed advice

    Well, I feed my ducks a 50 lb bag of Purina Flock Raiser crumbles. It has everything your ducks need to start off. However, when they start laying, it would be good to give them oyster shells along with the feed to toughen up the eggs. Be sure not to give them too much treats, for the feed...

    The Duck Thread

    Hey guys! I have a female Saxony duck, and she is currently laying eggs. Everyday, she makes a nest with her feathers, sticks, leaves, and dirt. She sticks her eggs in there, and is becoming extremely moody. (by screaming every time I come near her.) I do not want more ducks, since I already...

    Ok thank you! Do I put the ointment around his eye, or on it? Also, is it safe to get the spray and put it in his eye? Or should I just use the ointment? Is there other brands besides Terramycin? I can't seem to find it...

    Hello! I have a drake Saxony duck. I checked him out, and saw that his eye was a bit swollen. I thought it would just go away. But now, it has been a couple weeks and it is still here. One of his eyes has this pink bulge inside the socket, but it is beginning to poke out. His other eye is...

    The Duck Thread

    Hey guys! My friend has a three year old Heavyweight duck who has angel wing. She wants to know how she can fix him. She already lowered the protein in his diet, but it doesn't seem to change anything. Can it still be fixed? She really wants to enter him in the contest this year.

    Lol. Before, he did not eat much and did not want to mate with the female. I let him rest for a few days, and gave him lots of bath time. The swelling has gone done, but not completely. Now, he is eating much more, and is once again mating often. Thanks for the advice! :)
