Ducks with vitiligo?
Pretty simple question, I have a duckling (East Indie) that's about a month old now, when it was born it had some pale features on its face but I didn't think much of it, but since then it's become apparent that it's totally white, as opposed to the cream colour you can sometimes see on this... -

Hatching Problems, Requesting Advice ASAP

Hatching Problems, Requesting Advice ASAP
Okay, we took ducks #1 & #2 out of the incubator, I admittedly did help duck #2 a little but but I was pretty certain they were ready and all evidence suggests I was correct (no blood vessels showing, nothing left in shell that duck #2 would've otherwise absorbed). I only did this because they... -

Hatching Problems, Requesting Advice ASAP
Wow okay, so duck #2 must've heard that I posted this because no joke in the past 30 minutes since I made the original post they've begun to make a lot more progress on breaking through the shell 🤦. After they're more or less out I'll move both the ducklings out and see if I have any luck with... -

Hatching Problems, Requesting Advice ASAP
Hello, I've been incubating duck eggs over the past month. They entered lockdown on Friday and I had one duckling pip on Sunday and hatch yesterday (day 28). As I didn't want to disturb the humidity and risk shrink-wrapping their siblings I decided to leave them in there. Unfortunately they are... -

Unwell duckling, please help.
Except for the leg and being now notably smaller (although still growing as far as I can tell) than Snowball then Snowflake seems otherwise healthy, they're eating and drinking just fine, they love the pond. The leg is causing quite major issues though, because of it Snowflake can't walk far and... -

Unwell duckling, please help.
Okay, it's been a bit longer than I intended before giving you an update, we gave Snowflake the vitamin complex once for 5 days as per the maximum recommendation on the bottle, unfortunately improvement appears to have been minimal. I fear that it may be perosis as @casportpony and @Miss Lydia... -

Unwell duckling, please help.
Thank you all, although I'm in the UK and the Durvet product you mentioned does not appear to be easily available here we managed to find "poultry nutri-drops" at a nearby farming shop (even though it was 3pm on Christmas eve!). Although I don't have the means to setup something like the... -

Unwell duckling, please help.
Hi all, just registered, first time posting, on the 29th of November I hatched two new ducklings, other than one (now named Snowflake) having slightly splayed legs all had seemed fine, for about the first week they were fed a crumb / mashed boiled egg mixture and Snowflake gradually made a...
