    Newly hatched duckling issues...? Or is this all normal?

    Well my little duck is doing great! He eats a ton and poops a ton! Also his umbilical cord finally came off, he chirps non stop at night and I can’t get him to settle down sometimes! I did find another egg so hopefully we’ll have another duck in about 4 weeks!

    So did the yolk sac absorb? Did he live?

    Oh I tried! But he doesn’t like to be held too much :/ he’s very active and I’m afraid our ducks have stopped laying eggs because it has gotten too cold!! I may have to order some? Ducks are out of season for babies because it’s november.

    Newly hatched duckling issues...? Or is this all normal?

    This is my newly hatched duck, we were totally unprepared for him to hatch today! He was the only one that hatched out of 2. He was born with a yolk sac I believe still attached. Also his feet are inverted! We don’t have a heat lamp so he is in the incubator! I mashed peas for him since we don’t...

    How to keep female ducks from biting me?

    We have this one little duck, she is a few months old, her name is Pistachio. When I hold her, sometimes she'll lower her head, make this small huffing sound and bite and pull my lip. She has made my lip bleed before. Why does she do this? What am I doing wrong? I've had her since a hatchling...

    I miss my duckies so much!

    I've been on 'vacation' (a work trip) since May 28th and will not be leaving until July the 19th. We left our four ducks, Astrid(f), Dupont(m), Max(m), and Pistachio(f) back home with their grandmother and their 13 chicken friends in a coop. They are all 'big ducks' now but I had to miss...

    Duck having seizures or nightmares?

    Duck having seizures or nightmares?

    Dupont had one siezure yesterday they are so random and I have no clue what sets them off. He was laying on his back super stiff, but he was okay in about a minute.

    No seizures for another 2 days! Dupont is growing well and he has quite the raspy quack, sounds like he has a cold lol

    Duck having seizures or nightmares?

    So today Dupont had one of his little freak outs, I'm not sure if I can even call it a seizure. He just started wigging out like a spazz attack and then proceeded to run around in little circles around his pen. Granted, I was holding Astrid (his soulmate) to comfort her and help with her anxiety...

    Duck having seizures or nightmares?

    Well I was letting him sleep on my chest while on my computer and usually I can feel him breathe but there were times I was unsure if he was and had to wake him up. he would then shake his head a little.
