Dang Bumblefoot!!!
I hate to add another thread for bumble but hoping someone can look and give me another opinion. My Pekin had bumble and fooled me that it was healed, but there must have been more. 4 weeks ago i noticed she had swelling in the same spot and I looked and the black scab was back with swelling... -
Pekin - Bumblefoot
Thanks everyone - I know my vet doesn’t see ducks but they had a name for me last time I called. I will find out how close to me and update. -
Pekin - Bumblefoot
So that is the “plug” then I read about. I didn’t want to just pull without checking. -
Pekin - Bumblefoot
Oh yes — lots of ointment and bandages! She moves around okay and is eating and acting normal. -
Pekin - Bumblefoot
Have a Pekin that was limping and checked her out and found what I am 99% sure is bumble. It had a black scab and I been soaking her for 6 days about 30-45 min each time and the scab peeled off 2 days ago. No blood really or puss or anything. I have been using the vetericyn and antibiotic cream... -
Jumbo Pekin With Bill Issues
Hi I wanted to follow up. I called my vet and they don’t treat ducks, however they said they would have vet call if they had time. She called and said they don’t see ducks/chickens and I could contact other place but she agreed to look at pictures. She says, that looks like a bite from... -
Jumbo Pekin With Bill Issues
I cleaned them up and got super close to inspect and took pics. This does not look good. It’s under the bill a little and the one has black spots as well. Looks like a vet call for sure. They are always so covered in mud, but I don’t get how I am just noticing this now. -
Jumbo Pekin With Bill Issues
Nope - they have buckets right now until I put the pool back (Wisconsin winters) and I swap the buckets out twice a day. Does that look like bites then? The only possible thing I could think of is the goose for bites because the pen is electric on the outside and they are in a coop at night that... -
Jumbo Pekin With Bill Issues
Hi All, I have 2 Jumbo Pekins - same issue. They are usually so muddy I haven’t closely inspected any of them until one started with a limp. Vitamin B and peas and she was moving great within 2 days and then I noticed her bill like it was scraped or had a crack. So picked her up and closer... -
dogs and ducks
I have a Lab and a Shar Pei. My lab you think would want to eat them, but he doesn't care. He's an old man at 14 and doesn't do much. My son found it funny to set a duckling on his head and he sat there and didn't care (picture attached). I would not trust him alone though and he doesn't have... -

We are all new to the world of ducks. We have 6 ducks and 1 goose. With quarantine I made sure the... -
Gosling biting other gosling
I have them separated right now with some makeshift chicken wire in the kiddie pool and she looks 10000000 times better just with 48 hours. Do they out grow this behavior then? I did have a friend contact me about taking her because she only has one gosling a week old, her other egg didn't... -
Gosling biting other gosling
I have 6 ducklings (2 weeks old today), and 2 goslings (Emden). I wanted to get a gosling for protection and brooded together. When I went to pick up the gosling the lady suggested 2. I got 2 of them, both female (she said she can't be 100%, but is pretty sure). The one is bigger than the other... -
