    Duckling Pecking Order Help

    I think I was mistaken on the pool size. I think it’s 5’ circumference, but that still is 1.5 aft too small! I’ve been looking for different ideas for a bigger brooder since it looks like we still have at least a week of colder weather. I know their coop I built is almost 9’ wide by 7.5’ deep...

    Duckling Pecking Order Help

    I wasn’t putting them in the coop since they aren’t fully feathered and our weather has been getting to be below freezing still at night. And sometimes high of low 50s during the day. They haven’t had heat on inside the house but it stays around 68° in our home. I’ll work on a bigger brooder...

    Duckling Pecking Order Help

    @KathiQuacks do you think I should try to keep that one separated for at least 3 days? The blood feather is already healed because I actually took my khaki and my two runners (since they are similar in size) and gave them a small group outing and it allowed me to get pressure on it to stop the...

    Shaky Leg duckling.. maybe too much protein?

    Just wanted to follow up. I did the durvet on mealworms and wasn’t seeing too much of a difference even though they loved the mealworms. I switched them over to a lower protein (mixed to transition at first) and started adding a powder niacin to their water. And I have seen VAST improvement...

    Shaky Leg duckling.. maybe too much protein?

    Thank you!! I did pick up some Durvet today and was searching how to administer haha! So this helps a lot! Yes! We do supervised swims and have for about 1 1/2 weeks or 2 weeks. She actually jumped in the hole of a waterer I made out of a gallon jug. And was just hanging out like it was made as...

    Hi everyone! While I don’t have chickens yet, I do have 6 ducklings! I wanted to get our ducks first before raising chicks! I have 2 fawn and white runners, 2 cayugas, 1 khaki Campbell and 1 blue Swedish that are three weeks old! They were so small and I blinked and now they can’t fit in the...

    Shaky Leg duckling.. maybe too much protein?

    I have 6 ducklings. They were born 3/3 so they are exactly 3 weeks old today. I’ve been feeding them Mazuri starter as everyone says you don’t need anything else as far as supplements. Issue: one of my girls legs started shaking while standing. Not all the time. But seems like when she’s...
