    Female runner duck has a vent prolapse, need some advice please!

    We cleaned the area, not too much is hanging out and pushed it back in with coconut oil and then some icing or powdered sugar. It stays in for a bit then starts to come back out so we’ve put her in a dark box and will do the same tomorrow. If that fails we will go to a vet but it feels...

    Female runner duck has a vent prolapse, need some advice please!

    She’s been swimming on the outdoor pond which is clean and filtered, we haven’t done anything yet but will now try to push it back in with coconut oil and then put her in a dark box. Should I also use sugar? Thank you for your help!

    Female runner duck has a vent prolapse, need some advice please!

    I’ve just noticed my female Indian runner duck has a vent prolapse, it’s not all hanging out there’s just a small amount of pink flesh poking out. What should I do for her? I’ve heard so many horror stories about this I just want her to be ok!

    Female duck off colour - problem with laying?

    Funny you should say that as just this second she has laid a soft shell egg! It’s a yolk surrounded by a very soft and half formed shell! Is this something to worry about, we feed them a layers foodstuff and we supplement them with a type of ‘treat mix’ we sprinkle in every day which contains...

    Female duck off colour - problem with laying?

    Every day for the last week we’ve had 1 or 2 eggs from my 4 females. They are different in shape and colour and we have 2 runners and 2 khaki Campbells so I’m assuming one or both of each variety are laying alternately. Today I noticed one of my khakis is off colour, she stays at the back of the...
