    Undereye Ticks on Duck - W/ PICS

    Alright, I bought the 10% permethrin, diluted it and applied it with a q-tip to the ticks. Hopefully it'll take care of most of them.

    Undereye Ticks on Duck - W/ PICS

    Thank you for replying. Since it's a spray, will it be harmful if it gets in her eye? If not, could you maybe recommend somewhere good to buy it from?

    Undereye Ticks on Duck - W/ PICS

    When I let the ducks out this morning I noticed something weird about one of their eyes. Turns out she has clusters of ticks around her eyes. I have had this happen before, but there were only a few that I was able to pick off with my fingers. From most of the posts I see on ducks and ticks...

    The Duck Thread

    Hi everyone! We just got a rescue duck today from a friend of a friend of a friend and we know almost nothing about it, but from looks and the fact it was found wild makes us think she's a mallard (we don't know gender yet so we're just saying she/her for the time being) She has the mallard...

    HELP! Ducks laying thin-shelled/shell-less eggs - 1 death

    So we have been having a problem with our ducks laying soft, thin-shelled or shell-less eggs, and we often find them broken or crushed in the coop in the morning when we let them out.

    PARALYZED DUCK-HELP!

    I've looked at more botulism sites , and it seems to be exactly what she has.I don't know how to treat it , Holderread says to clear her esophagus with a funnel and tube down her throat , but I don't know how to do that safely , so I'm not very comfortable with it.
