    Pekin with bad hip?

    Sorry it took me so long to report back. I am happy to say that within a week my duck made a full recovery, and now I cant tell there was ever a problem!

    Pekin with bad hip?

    Never mind. I just read over it again and answered my own question.I will feed it an extra vitamin ration daily, and will report back with any changes. Hopefully I will have good news to report in a few days.

    Pekin with bad hip?

    Is it possible that this particular duck needs a higher dose than the others? I have been giving them all a supplement containing Niacin from the start, and out of 6 Pekin, and 8 Rouen only the one duck has anything wrong with it. It looks very much like example B.

    Pekin with bad hip?

    I noticed one of my Pekins standing bow legged not long after the cute fuzzy stage. That was about 2-3 weeks ago. Ever since I have been swimming it (I don't know the gender yet) daily, and exercise it in the back yard whenever the weather is good. I have provided vitamin supplements from the...

    Duck with swollen leg

    I wonder if my one pekin who walks bow legged would benefit from solo swim time. He usually gets put un the tub with his flock mates once a day for an hour.

    Odd duck

    I have 14 ducklings, 6 Pekin, and 8 that are either Rouen or Mallard. One of my Rouen insists on getting out of the bath after it has splashed and preened to sit in my lap while the others continue to play in the water. It will get very vocal and try to jump out of the tub repeatedly till I lift...

    I keep trying to put photos up of mine, but it wont work for some reason. I may have to try again later from my laptop, and see if maybe I just can't do it from my phone.

    Thanks everybody! I'm so super glad to be here. Update on the mallards: I overslept this morning, and they ran out of water. Instead of cowering in a pile when they saw me this morning, the ran toward me and circled their water dish, and stared at me peeping! They have finally learned to...

    I don't have chickens yet, but....

    I am currently raising 14 ducklings. The first six are Pekin, and are about two or three weeks old. The other 8 are mallards, around a week old or less. I'm not completely sure of their ages because I got them from the farm store, and it didn't occur to me to ask how old they were before...
