    Can I do a flush on my whole flock?

    Thank you. I put a fence around the area where I think most of the stuff is. Now we can focus on the surrounding yard. I am hoping everyone else will be ok. I should have done that way sooner, but I honestly didn't think about the ducks actually eating any of that stuff. Hard lesson to...

    Can I do a flush on my whole flock?

    Yesterday I had to put one of my ducks down because when we x-rayed her, we discovered that her gut was full of metal bits. She had stopped eating and drinking and was pretty sick. My concern is that probably a lot of them have some in them since they all range in the same area. I was reading...

    Sick duck. Please help!

    Local vet thinks that she has calcium deficiency, so I have started giving her calcium and vitamin D supplements. My concern is that she doesn't seem to be eating. Is there anything I can do about that? And how long would you think it should take for her to start feeling better? We are on day...

    Sick duck. Please help!

    I put her in a tub as a hospital. More symptoms for your consideration: she laid an egg, but it had a soft shell. All I found was this crumpled mess and the rest was mashed into her towel. She also has pretty dark poop. She was outside the day before yesterday, so that may be from something...

    Sick duck. Please help!

    My Pekin is shaking and doesn't want to get up. Her eyes look like she's not feeling well. I don't have any idea what's wrong or how to help.

    Old broken flight feathers on Pekin. Advice?

    I am having the same issue with one of my Pekin girls. I think it's been about a year now, and she still has these. I was actually just looking to see if there were any suggestions about what to do about it.

    Pekin duck can't stand up

    Thought I would give a "Puffdate" for you amazing people who have been helping me. Puff is definitely improving although we do have a long way to go. She's pushing herself up more, but her right leg is weaker than her left. She usually tumbles to that side. She is very alert and loves it...

    She's definitely not lethargic. She's pretty mad that her legs aren't working correctly. Still giving the vitamins daily. Hoping to see some signs of improvement soon. :hmm.

    Very slow going here. She seems to have some strength in her legs but no balance, and they tend to slide forward out from under her. She does enjoy bath time. She can swim and move freely in the water.

    I can switch them to the all flock, but it doesn't list a niacin amount either that I remember. Both had niacin in the ingredients list but no % listed. They don't carry duck specific food which is why I have them on this. The only difference I saw was the protein %. Feather Fixer being 18%...

    Pekin duck can't stand up

    Day 2 of the vitamin B complex. Of course she is not a fan. About how long does it normally take to start seeing improvement?
