    What do I do if Kyle's neck/scratching doesn't get better?

    Thank you! You're right. If he doesn't start looking like he's making some progress in the next couple days, I'll have to try again. He'll probably fly into the lake to get away from the touching though, lol. Most of the people living in my part of the city are either fellow college kids or...

    What do I do if Kyle's neck/scratching doesn't get better?

    I don't think ours will. It's so far away. It's like a two and a half hour round trip for them. Plus, I don't know that Kyle needs captured unless he actually needs serious help that I can't give him.

    What do I do if Kyle's neck/scratching doesn't get better?

    That's a good idea. The nearest wildlife rescue center is over an hour away, so I don't know that they would help Kyle. I definitely can't get him there. But if worse comes to worst, I could always drive there and say "Hey, here's the problem with my friend Kyle. What would you guys do, and is...

    What do I do if Kyle's neck/scratching doesn't get better?

    No one else feeds him nutritious food that's meant for ducks. Some people walk by and see him and then give him crackers or whatever they have (which is bad for him when so many people do it). I feed him a small amount of duck food most days. I don't do it every day because I don't want him to...

    What do I do if Kyle's neck/scratching doesn't get better?

    Thanks. I don't have a white bucket anywhere in my dorm, but he won't let me touch him that much anyway. He definitely won't let me pick him up. I tried to check his feathers and skin a few minutes ago, and he was not okay with that at all and wouldn't let me do it. I don't know if I'm allowed...

    What do I do if Kyle's neck/scratching doesn't get better?

    He doesn't really like to be touched (I've known him for almost a year and we're friends, but he's not a lovey dovey guy), so that may be quite difficult. Also, I'm not sure what to look for when it comes to mites.

    What do I do if Kyle's neck/scratching doesn't get better?

    He's the only drake or even duck I've ever seen on campus. He's definitely the only one living near the "lake" he lives on.

    Thank you! I will try it if he will let me.

    What do I do if Kyle's neck/scratching doesn't get better?

    Kyle is a Muscovy. Yesterday I noticed his feathers were all over the ground, and a small part of his neck is raw and bloody. Today I noticed him scratching that area. I am assuming that's what caused so many of his feathers to be ripped off. Kyle isn't mine (he belongs to no one, he's his own...

    Chick and young chicken dying (after cold night)

    Thank you! Ghost didn't make it through the night, but I'll keep this in mind for the future.

    Chick and young chicken dying (after cold night)

    The chick (Ghost) won't hardly eat and can barely drink. She can't stand by herself. She won't open her eyes. I'm not sure how to help her. She is in a brooder with a heat lamp but she has to share the heat lamp with the chicken in the box next to her. So it's probably not as warm as it needs to...

    I'm worried about my school's Muscovy drake.

    No. And no one knows when I ask.
