TSC and B vitamins take care
I wasn't sure this morning either because the label is so different. What gets me is TSC doesn't know how to advise on care of animals that they sell. The only reason I know as much as I do is because of the wonderful folks here on BYC. On a different note.... I had to get the big bottle... -

Derrick is a year old this month. She's a single lady who lives inside with me and the family. -
TSC and B vitamins take care
The guy at my TSC had no idea why I wanted it for my duck. I went ahead a gave him a 5 minute educational lesson while I was there. This was also the same guy that try to talk me into buying chicken feed for my duck. Let's just say he learned a lot this morning and was kind enough to offer me a... -

Well.....Now what???
Oh my goodness... that's good to know. Again, please forgive me as I'm still new at this....especially the part where he is a she... Should I not pet her or just go about as normal? It seems to make her happy! -
Well.....Now what???
Okay, not to gross anyone out. Derrick and I were playing just now and of course, she flattens out and lays on her belly with her backside to me. I started to pet her back and around her oil gland and her vent started pulsating like crazy. There were absolutely no signs on a penis but she did... -
Well.....Now what???
I'm thinking the soonest will be next spring. I go back to work next Monday and won't have daylight time to care for more than one at a time until then. I had no idea how much work and attention it took to raise a duck/ducks. I wasn't supposed to have Derrick. She was my son's duck at first...
