EMERGENCY! Ducks leg ripped off
Yes, I’m not sure what kind of animal but I’m sure it’s a raccoon. We’ve had our bad luck with them😞 We thought we fool-proofed the cage but when i checked the cage it looks like they snagged her leg from a little hole underneath the cage. She managed to drag herself away because she was... -
EMERGENCY! Ducks leg ripped off
@BelovedBirds , @casportpony: Thank you for y’all’s responses! I’m thankful for a community like this in a time of need. I should’ve took pictures of the wound, but i was so frazzled i didn’t take the time to. Yes the leg was ripped clean off the body, there’s no remnants left. Here’s the... -
EMERGENCY! Ducks leg ripped off
I’m currently scrambling to find a vet, as well as slowing the bleeding. I walked out to let my ducks out of the cage this morning and one has a leg ripped clean off. She seems pretty calm and quiet. However, the skin and muscle is exposed and bleeding. What can I do? I want to save her, but... -
Foamy Eye/Sinus Infection? Please Help!!!
Thank you! That relieves me to hear about the foamy eye, my duck is usually very clean but with the absence of the old drake I think her grooming has been interrupted by the bullying of her other two female companions. It was definitely a lot more balanced when we had our drake, so I may look... -
Foamy Eye/Sinus Infection? Please Help!!!
Having her own space seems to help greatly, so we have continued doing that. When I let her out in the morning her eye is still foamed up, but goes away shortly after and I've regularly been rinsing her eyes. She's still pretty lethargic, but walking around a little more and seems to have some... -
Foamy Eye/Sinus Infection? Please Help!!!
Good Morning! Yesterday I discovered one of my ducks has a really bad foamy eye. My Drake passed a few months back and since then my female duck has become the favorite to pick on/“mate” with by the other ladies. The back of her neck is nearly bald and, as I just mentioned, has developed a... -

Duckling Egg Candling Question
I’m currently going on week 2 of my duck incubation and took the eggs out to candle tonight… a lot of the eggs looked like expected (movement, veins, etc). Most of them I could pick up and see movement almost right away. However other eggs were almost completely dark -some with few veins- and I...- orrlux

Sick Duckling?
He’s doing a lot better, i took some advice (yeast, vitamins, etc) and had him rest in the brooder a little bit and he’s been running around with a lot more energy! I’m still keeping a close eye on it but thank you all for the advice! Making some tweaks to my brooder set up as well -
Sick Duckling?
I’m currently using the Purina start&grow medicated crumble feed (but no additional yeast) I’ve been putting electrolytes in their water feeder. They have an enclosure to run around in with a heat lamp on half (the other half where they can cool down as needed) I have one of those poultry...
