    Injured legs and problem bonding

    Does anyone know of good niacin and biotin supplements for ducks? Everything I've found is for horses.

    Injured legs and problem bonding

    Hello, I have a Pekin that just started limping and I believe it to be arthritis. It wasn't too bad over the summer but now that it's getting colder, she's having more issue with it. I bought the cosamin ds to try (not sure if it's the same or not). How much did you give your drake and how did...

    Sand as substrate in duck coop

    Has anyone had issues with the sand when it's hot out and burning the ducks feet? Sand sounds like the solution I need. I currently have rubber paverstones down and I use a metal paint scraper to scoop the poo every few days. It's not to bad when it's hot and stuff can dry out quickly but...

    Here's the new baby. I haven't decided on a name yet but she loves her pool and I took her out to dig for worms yesterday. We've started constructing the new enclosure so they're living inthe basement until we get it finished. She's still very skittish but is getting better and better...

    I still miss my baby very much and so does Freckles. Thanks to the help of Miss Lydia, OhZark Biddies and her brother and sister, we have a new addition. She is a gorgeous Swedish blue and she did great on the 90 mile car ride home. She loves her pool (she even sleeps in it) and loves...

    They are gorgeous! I'm going to talk to my husband, he gets off Saturday morning, and see if he wants to go for a drive. Where is the swap at?

    Thank you. I did post something on there reaching out. I'm going to do some major reconstruction and fortification this weekend.

    Duck lost companion

    Thank you and I'm looking. She's being spoiled more than usual right now and she's usually the distant one but she didn't leave my side last night. Yes, she slept in my cat's bed next to my bed on the floor and I have to hang my hand off the bed so she could touch it. I know it nature's way...

    calling any one from missouri

    Hello fellow Missourians. Does anyone have any suggestions of where I might find an adult female duck as a new companion for the one I have. She is a 4 year old pekin female and a raccoon killed her "sister" last night. I know the farm/feed stores usually do duck/chick days but I'm not sure...

    Nothing against the males but a female is my first preference. I've been looking around to see if anyone has a female that needs to be new home, or that was rescued, before getting babies, just to give it a second chance.

    I found 3 males that are 4 months old at our humane society ranch but then I feel bad not taking all of them :(. I could become an animal hoarder very quickly. I should've said yes when my husband offered having a small farm for all the animals.

    This may be a dumb question and I just can't brain today ... do I have to worry about interspecies breeding if I end up getting a male of a different kind? I know birds do that and usually it's female mate choice in birds, I just want to make sure so I don't end up with babies all over the place.

    Duck lost companion

    Thank you all for your condolences. I feel worse that I couldn't protect her or save her. The remaining female is going to be staying inside for a while. #1: the predator will definitely be back and #2: I can't leave her alone, literally and I can't justify it in my mind, not until I find a new...
