I need a replacement water bottle - where did you find parts? Thanks.

I have 16 hens that I know are laying age...all 1.5 years old. I have another 10 that are approaching laying age. I know some are molting because the coup has more feathers in it. However, should I only be getting 2-4 eggs per day? We have killed 2 black snakes this summer that I wondered if...

Having trouble uploading a pic...here we go.

Here is miss Donna duck...very interested to see if any treats might fall out of my phone camera! Look at that eye! I'm so happy for her. What a girl!

Meant to post earlier...Donna is fine! Turns out she did not lose that eyeball! Yeah! It is looking so normal. And in usual fashion, she faithfully laid her egg every day during her ordeal. She's quite a duck!

I see you are from NC -- we live in Wilson between Raleigh and Greenville. I should have known a good NC citizen would come to my rescue! Have a lovely summer. Dee

Original patient is improving steadily. This is one tough duck. Late last summer she Was bitten by a snake and I thought sure she was going to die. About 4 days in my sick bay and she was good to go I anticipate she will be fine afte this episode. The little mallard seems fine today. I will...

Thank you. She is resting and up for the night. I will take a pic tomorrow and post. I examined her very well after the incident and the eyeball looks like it was definitely clawed or punctured.

Thank you. I have posted on the duck forum. I have never started a thread before so didn't explore enough to find the duck forum. I will check with my vets first thing in the morning. We have an emergency vet clinic that all the vets use, but I just can't afford their outrageous charges. I...

My sweet Sweedish duck, Donna, was attacked by a stray cat. Luckily my husband happened to see the attack and let's just say that cat is no longer a problem. I checked Donna and her eyeball is obviously ruptured. I could find no other injuries on her. I slathered it with neosporin. I feel so bad...
