My Peking duck has been limping and both his feet seem to be swollen, help not sure what to do[/IMG]

We have had our Emu for about a year now. He seems to get freaked out when the wind starts, which I am not sure if that is normal or not. Something really got him worked up last night and he was running up against the fence and jumping over anything in his pen. Really scary but there was nothing...

We have a lean-to shelter for our guy. He goes in at night and when it rains. He likes some kind of shelter.

I have a male emu. We were given him from a family that lost their land and so I am learning as I go. We are having aggression issues with him. When we got him he was so sweet and my kids could lay down with him, but a few months ago a fox got in and got our rabbits who were housed right next to...

is this a young emu? We have an older male emu and he wont step on or up into anything. I got him a baby pool but wont step into it. Do you have any suggestions for me?

she should be fine. Keep us posted on how "girlfriend" is doing. Love your new chicks!

Ours limped quite a bit after we did surgery on her. I would just keep checking on her and make sure no infection has started.

I think it would be good if you got a couple of female ducks to be with him as AmberRex said. As for not having ducklings don't let the eggs sit around, collect them refrigerate them. I use mine in baking and eating. I like them better then chicken eggs.

This is our 2nd year of raising ducks but I am new to letting an adult duck raise them. She got broody so we let her. One duckling hatched from about 10 eggs. What should I do, should I get the chick starter for them or let mama get the feed? I am not sure if the duckling is going to survive...

Hi, I am going to get into this conversation too! Its sounds like fun. Duck are wonderful animals and we love ours, so I think you would really enjoy having on. The only caution I have on it, and I don't want to dampen anything, but they can be very messy/wet. Our ducks are outside and they get...

HI I had the same thing happen last year with my little ducklings. I agree with the others here, but I also went and got "flock raiser" for them. They ate it and seemed to get better quite fast. I now buy them Waterfowl feed from "montessuri" (not sure on the spelling) They love it . As you put...

Hi pagumby, congrats on your ducklings. We have a few varieties of ducks and my best guess would be Pekin ducks. I just bought batam chicks there today and they said their ducks were Pekin which look just like you described. When they grow up you will defiantly be able to tell. lol Have fun with...

o.k. so I am going to try some rabbit feed today and see what he thinks. We have a couple of rabbits so I will first try the food we have. Thanks again for all of your help. I so need it to learn more for our "elmo"

thank-you so much, this information has been helpful. I will try to get some "Feed" for him. I will have to price it first. Thanks again.
