    Checking-In On Peeps - Post Here To Say Hello!

    This is fun :) I love how everyone is posting about new birds! I just got my meat chicks 2 weeks ago and have 2 meat ducks. My egg ducks and chickens are still doing well except the ducks have been lazy about laying recently

    Duck with feathers gone, shedding everywhere, something’s wrong

    Thank you! I don’t remember them molting like this (I’ve had ducks for years) but maybe it just weirded me out because she was the only one.

    Duck with feathers gone, shedding everywhere, something’s wrong

    Hi. I just found my duck with something weird going on. She’s lost most of her feathers (all of her flying feathers are gone), plus she’s shedding parts of her feathers (I think they’re called hollow shafts)I’m not sure how long this was going on but I just noticed this morning. None of the...

    What type of ducks are these?

    Thanks! I was wondering if they were mixes. I got them from a local Tractor Supply and they had no idea what types they were or anything about them.

    What type of ducks are these?

    Hi! I have 3 ducklings that are a little over 2 months old. I don’t know their sex or breed but I’m really curious. Two of the pictures are what they look like when I got them (they were a week old). The other pictures are how they look now. I’m thinking the dark one with the face stripes looks...

    Duck with bright green/yellow poop and drooping head

    It’s possible. I have 6 ducks and 3 chickens in that area together but there has been more leftover food the past 3 days.

    Duck with bright green/yellow poop and drooping head

    Purina duck pellets plus oyster shells. I’ve also recently been giving them NatureWise chick starter/grower to finish what I had left over from my chicks. Some days I’ll let them free range in the bit of woods and yard we have. I suspect if they ate anything bad it was from that

    Duck with bright green/yellow poop and drooping head

    Please help!!! Yesterday I saw watery bright yellow poop and then today saw bright green poop by 2 of my ducks. The one duck was acting a little weird lately- by herself more and seemed more cautious when she walked - but overall nothing very worrisome. I did try to feel for any obvious issue...

    One egg went missing after other hatched

    The nest is in the coop and the pen is predator proof but I know one day I left the back door to the coop open by accident and only found out later. My duck Coffee probably left the nest in between and that’s when the raccoon came. It was in the evening but I didn’t even think about the fact...

    One egg went missing after other hatched

    My duck Coffee went broody with 4 eggs but a week or two later it was down to 2 because of the raccoons I’m guessing. I found one of the eggs cold and far from the coop so my thought is it has to be a raccoon. Then just last night one of the two eggs hatched. I saw both eggs in the morning so I...

    bloated duck

    So I have a female Khaki Campbell with the same problem. She looks exactly the same as yours. What did you end up doing? I tried treating for water belly (syringe and needle to try to get the fluid) but I never get anything.... I'm starting to think that's not the problem :confused:
