Off season for laying ducks?
Thank y'all for the responses! They've been laying steady since spring, so this is their first break. They deserve it! -

Off season for laying ducks?
Hey y'all! I feel silly for asking, but is there an off-season for ducks as far as laying goes? It's barely getting cold here in Louisiana, and I'm only getting an egg from my two girls every couple of days. Is this normal? They both seem healthy and I don't feel any eggs trapped in their... -

Moving ducks to Japan?
I'm thinking that may be my best plan of action. I do wonder if somebody would be happy to take them for a couple of years, and be willing to give them up when I came back. It hurts my soul knowing I may be leaving behind my little girls. -

Moving ducks to Japan?
I may be moving to Japan in the next year or so for work, and I desperately want to take my two ducks with me. I can't seem to find Japanese homes with any sort of yard. Does anybody have any experience keeping ducks in Japan? I know there are safety precautions that must be taken before their... -

Duck constantly turning in left circles
Hey everybody. I saw the avian specialist. We found out that my other bird as even higher levels of lead in her body. The avian vet said that the lead could leave the body so long as it did not soak up into the bones. If the lead homes in the bones, it will stay there and continuously leach... -

Duck constantly turning in left circles
She has not started treatment yet. I really appreciate the concern. The vet we use is very pregnant and is going on maternity leave within the next couple of weeks. She's the only vet at the clinic we use for all of our pets who can look at ducks. She has recommended us to an avian specialist... -

Duck constantly turning in left circles
Oh, I should add. She has made a wild upswing in the past several days. She stopped circling, is eating on her own, and preening and bathing as usual. It's almost crazy how she has recovered. We really were waiting to find her dead in her coop for about five solid days. She's also on pain pills... -

Duck constantly turning in left circles
I finally got the test results back and she has lead poisoning. Her levels are about three times the amount of lead that birds typically ingest. The condition is pretty treatable. They just give her a medicine and it absorbs the remaining lead from her body. Feeding a high fiber diet is key in... -

Duck constantly turning in left circles
She is going in for tests tomorrow. The vet told me over the phone that it probably is neurological issues. She said the cause could be meningitis, sepsis, or she swallowed something toxic. We live in New Orleans; the vet said she sees chickens and ducks with lead poisoning all of the time... -

How would neurological issues come about? Is this a common thing with ducks? -

Duck constantly turning in left circles
Where can I get vitamins? Can she have people vitamins or does she need something geared to birds? She is currently on Mazuri Waterfowl Maintenance, and they get a mealworm treat in the morning and a big salad everyday with lettuce and tomatoes. I am waiting for the vet to call me back about... -

Duck constantly turning in left circles
I have a rather sick hen. For some background, she has a mild case of bumblefoot, and has recently had a bout with mites. I am in contact with the vets and have treated the mites and am currently treating the bumblefoot with prescribed medication. She is pretty weak. She stopped eating at one... -

Ducks napping all day
It seems that my two hens are napping damn near all day. Should I be worried about this behavior? They still take time to forage and bathe in their pool, but it seems that their naps are getting more frequent. Could this be due to the sudden heat? I live in Southern Louisiana and summer has... -

Lazy duck??
Thanks for the responses y'all. It makes me feel better to know somebody else has a lazy duck too. She is a lot more interested in food if I toss it in water. -

Lazy duck??
i have two indian runners. They are four weeks old. One is very active, vocal, and a big eater. The other is the opposite. She prefers laying to standing. She's slightly smaller (always was). She's not as chatty and has a quieter voice. If we go to the yard, the other duck will run around and...
