Duck egg with a sac attached?
I got rid of the eggs. Sorry, wasn't thinking at the time. I'm giving the two ducks about a tablespoon of brewer's yeast on top of their pellet food per day. the food is Nutrena Nature Wise all flock 18% pellet. it says complete natural diet no need to supplement. For mixed flocks -... -
Duck egg with a sac attached?
Our Pekin duck has been laying eggs for the last two weeks. A couple days ago she laid an egg with what looks like a membrane tube at the one end. The egg was fully formed. I was a little concerned about her but she was running around fine. Looked happy. Then the next day a fully formed egg... -
Wood pellets for duck bedding
That was my hope to. A nice clean pen for winter. These pellets break down into fine pieces and I heard that they scoop out like the cat litter also. Would be an awesome bedding. I just don't want to chance them eating them. It would be different if we had a whole pen of ducks but we only... -
Minnesota!
True:). If I had birds back then I don't know they could have eaten them all. Besides, they were up to the peak of the house. the white siding looked black. It was gross. It's an alternative just in case someone has them where the birds aren't. Good luck. Hopefully they taste good. To...- Justpekin

Minnesota!
To get rid of boxelder bugs you take a sprayer and fill with water and add a little dawn dish detergent. spray and they fall right down and die. Years ago we had them so bad I called the extension office and that is what they told me. Apparently the soap clogs up their breathing and they die...- Justpekin

Wood pellets for duck bedding
I got the pellets, put a few in a bowl with water to see how the process works (as I seen on you tube) and sure enough they puffed up and seemed fairly dry to the touch. It was late so I was going to do the pen the next day. Dear daughter, they are her ducks, wondered what I was doing. Told... -
Neighbor hates my chickens- will she do them harm?
Wow. I read through a lot of this thread and I feel for you. This lady is more than crazy. Who complains about noise and then plays music so loudly you can hear it in your house. I would record yourself in your house hearing the music and walk outside, as your recording, showing that it's...- Justpekin

Wood pellets for duck bedding
Must be ammonia burns then because I soaked her feet for 10 minutes today and the sore spot is not loosened up at all. I will keep treating until they are no longer there. Along with constantly cleaning the pen. Thanks for all the help and encouragement. Love this site. -
Wood pellets for duck bedding
How long have you used them? And, do you scoop out the clumps kind of like cat litter? Or do you just fluff and change out after a few days? Thanks. -
Wood pellets for duck bedding
Yes, they are used in horse stalls. I watched a you tube video on them and was hoping that others that have used them for quite a while with no problems would respond. And, I have been soaking its feet in Epsom salt and then using the clear iodine on her feet. I read somewhere on here that... -
Wood pellets for duck bedding
Has anyone used these for their ducks for years with no problems of them eating them or getting sick from them? I would hate to used them and it end up killing my daughters ducks. I'm pretty excited about them because it sounds like they absorb so well and will reduce time spent cleaning up... -
Duramycin 10 and ducks what's a safe dosage
Sorry I haven't gotten back on here for awhile. We have been so busy with my grandmothers funeral out of state and the girls band concert all happening in two days. Just long days trying to be there and home to give meds in morning and nights. So, the paper work I got from the vet says Date...
