    Cheap source of barrels in central TX?

    I am a little too far away to help you, but I am sure you can find them locally-try manufacturing facilities. At my husbands' workplace, they use 55 gallon metal barrels, with screw-banded lids. He gives them away to anyone who wants them. You may have to clean them out yourself, but free is...

    Help, please! Muscovy egg now a baby duckling-he is wet, what to do now???

    Sorry I didn't post yesterday-between work being, well, WORK, and feeling really, really blue, I just didn't even get on the computer. yes, Miss Lydia, we lost the wee one. He fought so hard, but he wasn't eating, started drinking less, got less active, and finally didn't open his eyes. He...

    Help, please! Muscovy egg now a baby duckling-he is wet, what to do now???

    Well, it is just after 10:00 am here, and we have him back at work with us. He is nibbling wet mash-not much, in my opinion, but David seems to be pleased. I can get very few drops at a time of the ND straight into him, but he much prefers it in his water! He actually shakes his little head...

    Duckling with possible encephalitis. HELP

    Ericsgirlie, this may be what we are encountering with our little duck! Miss Lydia has been trying to help us with him, since posted a plea for help a couple of days ago. I certainly hope our little guy makes it, too, but he still has not stood, and today, he isn't eating and is drinking very...

    Help, please! Muscovy egg now a baby duckling-he is wet, what to do now???

    So it is almost 3:00pm here, and he is still hanging in there. David got him to take a bit more water with the Nutri Drench in it, since he refuses it straight. he still is not eating, though, and his little eyes haven't opened in awhile-several hours-but he is peeping and wiggling and kicking...

    We have him here at work, and David has gotten a bit of ND water in him-no food yet, though. We aren't ready to give up yet! thanks for hanging in there with us, too! Will keep you posted.

    Help, please! Muscovy egg now a baby duckling-he is wet, what to do now???

    The little guy survived the night, but he won't eat or drink much this morning, and he won't take the ND from David this morning. I read a bit about wry neck last night, and am looking it up again now. He still has not stood, and just still stays on his back or his side-more on his back than...

    Help, please! Muscovy egg now a baby duckling-he is wet, what to do now???

    No, he still has not stood up. When David puts him in the box, he either rolls on his side or on his back. I held him while David was busy a bit ago, and I think his little neck is really bent sort of sideways-like he is looking back at his own tailfeathers. I tried to get him to straighten out...

    Help, please! Muscovy egg now a baby duckling-he is wet, what to do now???

    Should he be sleeping so much? He takes very small tastes of the ND water (which has mash in it) when David puts his little beak into it, but cuddles into David's hand and sleeps most of the time. When he is in the box, he still lays on his back or side, but in the hand, he spreads his little...

    Help, please! Muscovy egg now a baby duckling-he is wet, what to do now???

    Yes, he goes head first. The neck is not twisty or crooked, just acts as if his head is too heavy for him. David just gave him a wee bit more food, and he took a small drink of the water with the ND in it. All kidding aside, should we take him to work with us tomorrow? And I mean in a box...
