    I will look over both ducks since I'm not sure who it came from and where.

    Pekin Duck Club!

    Help! I was just walking my ducks through my house after swimming outside. I noticed a feather on the ground by them. The feather though has a red gooey substance I'm guessing blood at the end of it. There is no tip to the shaft of the feather. Is this something I need to be concerned about. My...

    I've noticed one of my ducks has its wings cross over at the end. Is this normal or a health issue. He seems fine. He flaps his wings and jumps when outside and swims normal. He is almost two months old.

    I've been looking to find 18% protein to put my ducks on. At a month old should they still be on crumble or could they be on pellets? Sorry for all the questions. I want to make sure I do this right.

    I just noticed it when I let them outside. I will try and get a picture they are laying down now. I'm not sure if he is a jumbo. The lady I bought them from didn't specify. Do you have food brand recommendations? What ideal protein level should I have them at for being a month old. My book says...

    Can you overfeed a duckling? My Willie and Si are about a month old. Willie the biggest one has started to get a bigger area in his chest/keel area. They are on DuMor starter/grower feed. It has 20 % protein. They go outside everyday for an hour or two to forage. Occasionally shredded carrots...

    Does anyone else have a duck that seeks out blankets. I have these fleece blankets I put down in my kitchen at times if my ducks are out so they don't slip on the floor. Recently though Willie seeks out the blankets I don't use and lays on them. It can even be a towel or one of my shirts. He...

    Pekin Duck Club!

    I love Bernese mountain dogs. They were my dream dog growing up a child. I begged my parents for one all the time. They just have such beautiful coloring. I ended up finding my newf in the paper as a puppy and couldn't pass him up. He is a protective gentle giant with everything such as the...

    @saltandpepper2 It is a newfie! His name is Kodiak and he absolutely loves the ducks. When I first got them he would sleep by them all night and if they peeped he scratched at the door to get in there by them. He protects them outside too. He even lets them peck through his fur.

    Duckling Diarrhea

    I just contacted my vet for them. She said just keep an eye on it for a few more days because he could be eating different things in the yard then Si. Also to make sure he is gaining weight. If it is still happening in a few days to bring him in for an appointment. Thanks for all your help. I...

    Duckling Diarrhea

    He just did this while I was typing that other post. It is extremely smelly I can smell it from the other room. I thought I had poop on my hands, but I was wrong
