Hi again Sorry for the delay in getting back! Well she has finished her course of antibiotics, and I'm delighted to say she is (almost) back to her usual self!! Unfortunately she still has quite a limp, but we're going to take her to the vet again for another check, to make sure the... -
Injured Cayuga drake
Hi, She is such a character, and we would love to have that back. The meds course is 7 days. The thing I worry about is how much ducks can show any pain they are feeling. We will certainly give a her a chance, thinking about it, the drake is recovering very well, and we were very worried about... -

Hello! I'll get straight to it... Basically we're in the process of building a house and a run for a couple of ducks. We already own a couple on bantam hens, however, we're trying to find a breed of duck that is fairly quiet if possible. The problem that we've come up against is that...
