    Help! possible sick duck.

    It is regular duck and goose feed. I was told that the oyster shell should be enough but not to go crazy with it because it is bad for the drake.

    Help! possible sick duck.

    I give her oyster shell sprinkled on her pellets. Found a vet open and have her here now. Praying for the day best.

    Help! possible sick duck.

    My 7 month old Pekin just started laying about 3 weeks ago. It has been daily until this week. Monday morning I found nothing. Tuesday I found it after work and today nothing again. She was acting odd today, not as happy and chatty as normal so I figured I'd try a warm bath to see if it would...

    Help! had peritoneal fluid removed, & on antibiotics… was better now worse…

    She had a problem where the eggs go the wrong way and get stuck in the ovaries. She then had a big sack of fluid that caused her stomach to swell up. They removed all that and sterilized her and she actually made it through the surgery but her heart stopped while waking up. We only had her for...

    She ended up needing surgery to remove everything but she didn't make it. Very sad. I loved that duck.

    Duck not laying eggs

    She is on a layer feed with some regular duck and goose feed mixed in. She is out for the majority of the daylight hours and yes, the owner knew the exact hatch date. The vet said that she is having reproductive problems where the egg does not go through the ovaries properly and now she is...

    Duck not laying eggs

    I have a 15 month old Pekin that adopted over the winter to replace my other that passed. She has only laid one egg since I've had her and it was broken when I found it. She seems to be happy and eats very well. I have an appointment with the vet in 4 days to get her looked at but I was...

    Question: new to ducks : Ducks panting

    I have a year old Pekin that pants at times. Tonight she has been for the last couple of hours. It's only about 62 degrees so I'm guessing it's stress. She still playing with her water which seems to help. Only the Pekin does it. I've never been able to figure out what causes it but it never...

    Duck beak peeling!

    My duck has this thing where it looks like it is peeling when he gets it wet. When it's dry, it doesn't look so bad. Any ideas if this is bad or if there is something I can do for him?
