Thank you, I will have to give this a try! I am taking her to the vet again soon, so maybe I can give my vet some of these ideas and she can help!

how did you figure out your duck had ingrown feathers??? my pekin has a huge scab in that same spot from picking, the vet said it must be an irritation, but it hasen't gotten any better.

So my year and a half old female pekin duck has been picking at the part underneath the belly that has a bone on the pekin, almost like a sternum. Well, it is all scabbed up and it seems the picking hasen't stopped. I don't know what it could be? the vet said maybe an irritation and put her on...

I can't get anymore female ducks. But my male is not super rough he just wants to mate and so does she. But they only do it in their kiddie pool, so I've just been letting her swim by her self and it's been raining a lot in florida so i haven't filled the pool up, I hope it wil help. Her wings...

So my female pekin ducks fur on the back of her head is so torn up (sometimes it bleeds) and the side of her feathers from the male duck climbing on her to hold on to mate. I try spraying it with peroxide so it stays clean. I know I can separate them but she gets stressed when he's away and I...

My pekin ducks love love cucumbers tomatoes, frozen corn,and fresh figs. We hve a fig tree and they jump up to grab the figs off if it's on a low branch. They really don't like lettuce, or fruit to much. mainly veggies. sometimes blueberries and pears.

I have 2 beautiful pekin ducks, a male and a female, both a year old. She lays eggs regularly so about one a day. they have good listening skills too and very friendly with people. the female just doesn't liked to be picked up, but the male loves to snuggle. Both very healthy. I don't really...

Thank you! Just that paticular batch, it may have gotten moist or something when it was at the feed store. Not sure, I've really only bought the starter chick feed and Nutrena feather fixer.

Everything's normal with her except the cough. I've been putting AVC with the mother in her water, it's decreased her coughing a little bit already. I'm starting to think it's deffinitely the food though. Any suggestion on what food to give her? I use nutrena feather fixer because both ducks...

The wood is a little molded not to bad though. No wet bedding we use hay and try to keep it dry and clean. As for feed we got a bad batch recently with little bugs and returned it but the second batch smells kinda weird. The guy at the feed store said they'll be fine so not much we could do. but...

Not really, she has the green spots on her beak but I try to give her oyster shells which usually helps

So my female pekin duck has had this sneeze/cough for a couple of weeks. I don't think it's from her food or something got caught in her nose or if she is sick. It's like a little squeak/cough sometimes then sometimes it's like almost a grunt/bark sound. I just can't tell if she has a cold...

My female pekin has the same problem. It's just the stress/nutrient deficient from laying eggs, I leave raw oyster shells (from a feed store) while shes locked up in the coop that way if she gets hungry through the night that's what she'll eat. Also ducks legs are very fragile if she had to get...
