    My 6 year old runner duck won't sit down

    My runner duck is about 6 now and has outlived her brothers/sisters, even though she was the 'runt.' She'd always had foot problems where she would put one foot on top of her other foot and then fall down a lot, but she was able to get around. She's become a pet as she doesn't lay anymore...

So I ended up taking her to the vet and she has a huge infection in all of her air sacks - took x-rays, so she's on two different types of antibiotics twice a day, and I have to keep her inside and keep a close eye on her. It's...

    advice on re-homing my male duck to a good home

    Hi All - so I haven't found him a new home yet, have been too busy to try. I'd like to put him with people that understand poultry and know how much work a duck is. I posted him on my FB page but got several responses from people who have no idea where to put a duck or how to raise it, and...

    Why don't ducks walk when they have a hurt wing?

    I have an awesome duck who is on the delicate side and she keeps hurting her wing. I took her to the vet who bandaged her up and gave me celebrex for the inflammation and she stayed indoors for 10 days, then was all better.
