    Pullet not wanting to stand.

    After I finished cleaning her and blow drying her dry I noticed her left ankle area was really swollen and the veins going down her left leg were larger than the right and she makes a pained noise when you touch it.

    Trying to incubate duck eggs but failing. Help.

    Ok. My ducks are close to a year old. They started laying around 2 months ago. And they are laying as much as my chickens. One duck lays 2 eggs a day. I guess I can wait till spring to try and hatch some ducks. Thank you.

    My ducks were attacked by a fox.

    It looks like they are both eating some and drinking. I’ve watched her dip her head in the water several times. She’s still just laying a lot and I put the Neosporin on her head twice a day. I do have some electrolytes that I had for my baby chicks. Can I use it for my ducks?
