Does my duck have a deformity or deficiency?
@Miss Lydia @CoriM we got some vet wrap hobbles on her and I got the liquid b complex today! The hobbles seem to help her keep her legs closer together even though they aren't usually taught. It seems like, without the hobbles, when she walks she takes a few ok steps but then a couple wider... -

Does my duck have a deformity or deficiency?
Here is a link to a really short video: They have only been outside a few days now and I don't trust letting them forage around the yard quiet yet so there's limited space for a video. I am just waiting for my husband to be available to help me get some hobbles on her. -

Does my duck have a deformity or deficiency?
Thank you both for the suggestions! I will definitely try the vet wrap hobbles too! -

Does my duck have a deformity or deficiency?
I will try some other stores tomorrow and see if I can get some of that! She seems to stand up fine but does not walk or stand much. She just seems a bit unstable while standing and is almost as if she's using her tail to help balance, or using the same muscles to help balance. When she is... -

Does my duck have a deformity or deficiency?
Thanks for the response! I bought some nutritional yeast tonight. It was all I could find without waiting for something to come in the mail. I will try to get a video tomorrow after work. I am wondering if maybe she had just had a bit of a deficiency all along and is gradually getting worse and... -

Does my duck have a deformity or deficiency?
My 3 Welsh Harlequins are a month old. One of them always spent more time sitting than the rest. She walks a bit but will plop down to rest much more often than her sisters. I could not really see a difference before but now she is obviously different looking. Does anybody know if this is a... -

Ducklings hatching & I wasn't ready-not secluded from rest of flock
I would move the momma and ducklings, or partition off if possible. I have had past ducks hatch eggs and the ducklings did just fine following mom around the other ducks, but why risk it if you have another option. -

Ordering Online - I think I made a mistake
Yay! I'm jealous of your goslings! I wanted some, but really have no room for more than the 3 ducks right now. -

Ordering Online - I think I made a mistake
I hope they all arrive soon! I know, it's so stressful waiting and not knowing what's going on. Are you able to call your distribution center to check if they're really still there? Mine weren't scanned the entire time so I had no idea where they were along the route until the post office called... -

Ordering Online - I think I made a mistake
They all shipped from TN on Tuesday afternoon, and I picked them up from the post office super early this morning! They ate all their grow gel and are all eating and drinking and looking great! I figured I was worrying over nothing and I know Metzer knows what they're doing, but I'm so relieved... -

Rehoming a welsh harlequin drake - Iowa
I wish I were closer. I just got 3 WH females and am wishing I got a drake too, but not really wanting to do another extra small mail order. But I'm in Massachusetts. I hope you are able to find someone nice to take him. :love -

Someone STOLE my ducklings!!
I am so sorry this happened to you and your ducklings. I really hope you sre able to get them back. People can be unbelievably terrible. -

Ordering Online - I think I made a mistake
Oh, this makes me feel so much better. It turns out I actually ordered from them last time I got birds too, and they all arrived safe and sound that time. I had no idea they had a facility in TN now too. Hopefully that's where they'll be coming from. I don't mind if they ship on Tuesday or... -

Ordering Online - I think I made a mistake
I'm really worried right now. I haven't ordered poultry in years. I am ready for a few ducklings again and after a ton of deliberation, I just placed and order with Metzer Farms. I selected the June 21st ship date (Monday, the 20th is a holiday) and my confirmation email says they will ship the...
