So Chacha has been having a hard time. After the vet visit for her bumble foot 4 weeks ago, I have been following what the vet has said. First she needed a deeper pool because her newest kiddy pool was too shallow (her other kiddy pool had broke). A new pool would give her time off her feet. I...

I just wanted to give an update. I took ChaCha to the vet last week for a few reasons. I noticed that she had started to develop bumblefoot, which is the main reason I took her. Good news, her bumblefoot is only at stage 1, so it is only inflamed and not infected. Bad news, her bumblefoot was...

Hey everyone, I'm hoping someone can help me with ChaCha again. I came home from Davis and it seems ChaCha's flight feathers seem really messed up. She eats layer chicken pellets that are not medicated. Has water, grit, and oyster shell available. She drinks normally and has water available to...

Thank you for a quick reply. Is there a specific name for the 23% calcium gluconate solution? Do you know if would it also be available through other feed/pet stores? And if I would like to get Chacha to rest from laying, how would I do that? Last time I tried, she kept laying and one egg broke...

Hey guys, ChaCha seems to be having laying issues again, and I am wondering if you guys have any advice. She is often now laying no shell, soft shell, or thin shell eggs which I often find broken in her pen/nest. As a result, ants are becoming a nightmare. She is fed organic layer food for...

I need help controlling smell in my backyard. We're not really sure what to do. What we usually do is hose off the duck pen and cement on the patio, but now the soil areas in the yard are getting really really stinky and swampy. Algae is even starting to grow on top of it. One We know it is...

Sorry for not posting for a while. A lot of crazy stuff happened between my last post and today. Friday my apartment near school got broken into. Sunday my sister's dog fell into the pool of her new house while everyone was helping her move and unfortunately drowned. ChaCha seems to be doing...

SO it seemed like ChaCha was getting better yesterday. More enthusiastic for food and everything. She hasn't laid an egg since the vet visit, which is fine. But today...she is back to not wanting to eat. being very slow, etc. She is in a warm bath right now, and she "washed" for a bit but not...

Well ChaCha is not extremely happy today, though I understand. I wouldn't be too happy either if I was getting medications and sleeping in a different area at night. She also did not lay an egg this morning, though I am not surprised. She is in her pen right now and I watched as she ate a little...

So I am back from the vet. They couldn't find the egg in her when the vet probed with her fingers, so ChaCha got an x-ray and they still didn't find an egg.The vet said it is likely that the yellow goo I saw come out of her vent was puss so they did a swab and checked it under a microscope...

I feel I will be making a trip to the vet today once my fiance is home with the car. First off ChaCha is an indoor/outdoor Pekin, who has a small covered pen with a "duck house" outside to sleep in because we currently don't have an area in the house where she can sleep in without her harness...

I don't think it is a weasel. Are weasels native to the Bay Area in CA? Though it could be a rat. It has been a few days since ChaCha was attacked and she hasn't been bothered since. I will keep my eye out for anything unusual and she will be in her pen when we can't watch her.

So yesterday, while I was upstairs, my fiance's mother and father saw something attack the backside of ChaCha (my pekin duck). She came upstairs to tell me and when I checked ChaCha out, she seemed a little spooked but was not bleeding and did not seem to be hurt. I then gave her some peas and...
