    Runners lost quack, respiratory issue

    Hey there, Hoping some of you may have an idea of what's going on here. Two of my adult runners came down with some sort of ailment. I only have 2 runners so these are the only 2 in the flock affected out of a flock of 6 ducks total. What we noticed is that both ducks are struggling to quack...

    Anyone have pekin duck tail feathers to share?

    Hello, I have an interesting request. I recently had one of my ducks pass and am having him mounted but he has a bit of rough tail feathers. Unfortunately all of my pekins have rough tail feathers, so I wanted to see if, while molting season comes through, any of you would have tail feathers I...

    The same old problem: pekin duck struggling to walk

    Ah, got it! Apparently "liquid b complex" and "vitamin b complex" don't return the same results. Thank you!

    The same old problem: pekin duck struggling to walk

    The only liquid B complex I can find at TSC is Rooster Booster, and it doesn't list niacin in the ingredients. Is there another one or a different way I should be searching?

    The same old problem: pekin duck struggling to walk

    I would hate that you're likely right, although she's around 7-8 lbs so I don't think she's very overweight if at all. Although she's been less active with her troubles walking, so it's possible she's gained since she was last weighed. She sure does try and give her very best effort though, the...

    The same old problem: pekin duck struggling to walk

    The poultry cell supplement reports a guaranteed analysis of 50 mg per fl oz. I just did the math and that would mean she's only getting an extra 1.7 mg every day I do this (I had thought there was more!) so I think you're right and I will try picking up some liquid B complex. I'm using up the...

    The same old problem: pekin duck struggling to walk

    Hi there, Me again, with the pekin ducks that mysteriously cannot walk. My two year old girl is now struggling to walk. She started about a year ago with a limp and after visit to the vet, xrays saying she's perfectly fine, and carprofen that did nothing, she's gradually gotten worse. Now she...

    What is going on with my pekin ducks?

    Hey there, I've plagued this forum before with my particular duck problems, because I've had a rough go of it with my pekins. I'm just not sure what's going on or what to do. Here's a recap: April, 2020: pick up 2 ducklings from TSC, Fluff and Quasi. Quasi suffers from wry neck early on, but...

    Supplemental care for duck with joint infection

    Cole went in for surgery 1.5 weeks ago. The vet noted he was then "knuckling" when using the foot, indicating the swelling was putting pressure on the nerve. The vet opened up the joint, cleaned it out, and sent out a culture. Almost right after, Cole was showing improvement on the "knuckling"...

    I made a children's book about my ducks!

    Hi all! Wanted to show you all my DUCK BOOK! Whenever I post about my ducks to non-duck owners, they always love the shenanigans that my ducks get up to... Someone suggested to make a book about them, and I thought, why not? Fluff's daily adventures are pretty standard for a duck, but still are...

    Why won't my ducks stop YELLING?

    I can't imagine my neighbors getting upset with quacking, especially since there's a river with wild ducks running through all our properties. It's just the yelling quack happening all. the. time. Like girls, what do you have to be upset about?? I keep trying to catch the neighbor I think it...

    Supplemental care for duck with joint infection

    About time for an update I suppose. Cole is still kicking around though his leg issue hasn't gotten any better. I've spoken with the vet who said because he hasn't died by now it means it isn't spreading and it isn't cancer. We are going to attempt a laser therapy next month to see if that helps...

    Why won't my ducks stop YELLING?

    He can move, just not well. He has a bone infection in his joint so it's a real difficult for him to get around, so he doesn't chase or harass any of the females. We're working on it - he's been through the rounds already with all kinds of other treatment. You can read about him here if you...

    Why won't my ducks stop YELLING?

    3, 1 of which can't actually move so it's really more like 2 active drakes. No drakes in the baby flock -- all of them are female, if you couldn't tell.
