    Possible neurological/concussed duckling?

    Thank you! And I really hope not, I'd hate to cull a baby who's got a will to live

    Possible neurological/concussed duckling?

    Okay so I got a weird one for you guys, or at least it's weird for me. I brought home a duckling from the feed store my partner works at because something just wasn't right about the lil dude. It's a crested and they did have pretty rough shipping from what I heard so that could play into this...

    Unknown disease in waterfowl, two dead, another one sick

    I really hope it's not bird flu, I know Washington has been having some decent outbreaks of it but I thought we've been quarantining good enough to avoid it. Alas I shall do as y'all suggest and see if I can get ahold of a vet and ask them about it

    Unknown disease in waterfowl, two dead, another one sick

    Recently my partner's and I's flock has taken a hit from a mysterious disease and we're getting desperate to know what's up so we can treat it effectively. In less than a month we've had a goose and a duck die and now we have another duck down with the same thing. So far the symptoms list for...

    3 sweet silkie chicks need home Wenatchee wa

    I wasn't expecting to have to sell these lil guys but unfortunately I am moving to a place where I can no longer keep them. These darling little babies are about three months old?

    Sweet, friendly drake needs home Wenatchee WA

    I have a super sweet, friendly drake that needs a new home as I am unfortunately moving to a place where I can no longer keep my birds. He's been raised by me since he was tiny and handled multiple times a day so he's perfectly okay with being handled and human interaction. He's about two years...

    Really wheezy duckling

    I've tried giving her one that's deep enough to dunk her head into now that she's old enough that it's fine if she gets wet, but she acts terrified of anything but the standard waterer that they use in the store

    Really wheezy duckling

    I got a roughly two week old duckling who was slightly wheezy when I got her from the feed store but now the poor thing is really wheezy, looks like she's kinda having to try harder to breathe, is sneezy, is shaking her head occasionally, and has yellowish snot, she's also got a kind of clicky...

    Safe to put ducklings out in smoke?

    We’re tucked far away from any fires thankfully, it’s just a game of can I keep my birds from getting respiratory problems from the smoke

    Safe to put ducklings out in smoke?

    Smoke season is essentially just the worst time of the year when we’re surrounded here in Washington by smoke from various fires around us

    Safe to put ducklings out in smoke?

    So I just got up and went to move my ducklings outside for the day but here in Washington we’re having a really bad late smoke season. I was wondering if it would be bad to put my almost month old ducklings out in the smoke? I can’t even see down the road with how bad the smoke is

    Ran out of duckling food, what to substitute temporarily?

    Okay, thanks for the advise! I love ducklings but sheesh they scream worse than geese when they’re hungry

    Ran out of duckling food, what to substitute temporarily?

    I was thinking about maybe giving them a lil bit of oatmeal since it doesn’t contain a lot of stuff and would temporarily fill them up, think that would work?

    Ran out of duckling food, what to substitute temporarily?

    I got a batch of three week old duckkings who went through their feed waaay faster than I thought they would and I ran out overnight and none of my feed stores are open just yet. What could I use to substitute until then? They are very hungry screamers atm. I wasn’t quite sure where to put this...

    How do you do it?

    Because my chickens are my children and I’d never harm my kids. The chicken I get from the store? I don’t know that bird, I’m not attached to it so I don’t really care. Just like you’d never eat your beloved cat or dog I’d never eat my chickens. Unlike the chickens from the store mine are for my...
