She’s not broody. We already have one broody duck that’s hatched a baby duck. This poor girl has lost weight, and looks like she can’t even bite hard enough to eat. I know it’s lack of nutrition now, but she literally walked almost 10 feet yesterday and didn’t fall down and did amazing for a...
She’s actually been to the vet for bumble foot two weeks ago. I’d realized she’d not been eating so well. She walked great for the first time in a long time yesterday evening, but today she can barely keep her balance. I’ve been feeding her regular duck food, but for this week we’ve been trying...
And update on pretty Samson, it’s been so hectic with ducks and bumble foot all the way down to baby ducks hatching. He did have an upper respiratory infection, Baytril helped bring him back around. He still seems like he has days where swelling flares up again, but he’s still so full of fun. He...
I’m at work atm but I’ll send one when I get home. It was normal now it’s like a liquid white substance a little thinner than chicken poop or and off yellowish. Which I know isn’t a good sign. He got a does of wormer last night and another dose of antibiotic with a syringe straight down the...
I’m pretty sure he hasn’t I tried bananas and whole grain cereal yesterday and he just looked at it. He’s also very slow with swiping his break on the ground. It seemed like his eyes cleared up a bit after the antibiotic, and he was moving around yesterday evening finally after staying in the...
I don’t know if you can see what’s on his eye, it’s not as bad as it was a few hours ago, so hopefully the antibiotic has helped a little. I don’t know. I just can’t sit a round and watch him die.
I very seriously doubt it around here. Tractor supply employees didn’t really even know anything about peacocks. It’s not a common pet where we are at, and our vet that had the best experience passed away not too long ago. We gave him the antibiotics and it seems like his eyes cleared up a...
Our Samson has developed mycoplasma galliseptium. Tractor supply gave me an antibiotic and a syringe to make him take. And suggested pedilite. Were also trying for the powder that starts with a t. But I need more advice on how to make my boy well again. Please help me keep him alive. He’s had...
He has actually slowed down now. He won’t make a move on her if she just acts like he’s not there. Or if I holler his name while he’s chasing her. Now she’s actually been spending most of her time in the coop laying on eggs. But it’s funny to capture things like this. We have 7 ducks. 4 girls...
Beautiful!!!
So pretty! ❤️ I know the feeling. I miss my first crew, they followed me like dogs around the yard. This is our new crew tho. The pekins names Dip and Dot, Rootie and Tootie, Onyx the Rouen, Saffron the Cayuga, and Harley the welsh. The peacock is Samson. We have 8 chickens running...
Our Pekins always seemed to stick to each other. Mating pairs. They never tried to mate unless we filled the pool back up with clean water. The first boy duck we had only stuck to his female. Now we’ve brought a Cayuga in the mix. 3 boys and 4 girls, and he ONLY chases our Rouen girl. Told the...
