Help! Is this wet feather?
These photos are pretty quick after swimming to be fair (like 10-15 min) but when I compare to my other duck it’s drying WAY WAY slower. They are indoor ducks at night & sleep in a pen, that’s cleaned fully every 2 days and topped up with bedding multiple times a day & they have an large outdoor... -

Duck and Goose Poo Page - Warning, poo pictures!
There’s been quite a range. Not another one like that odd green one. The dark one is in the grit bowl LOL so that’s the black stuff but it’s dark a runny which is weird but the other one looks to be normal. Both my ducks though seem to be happy and healthy? -
Duck and Goose Poo Page - Warning, poo pictures!
Yes the poo was VERY firm which is odd for these guys. They have had just their regular pellets today & just some peas & that's it. They were also outside unsupervised & in the pool for a while so im not sure if they ate something I didn't see but nothing out of the ordinary. -

One of my ducklings not growing?
I have a 22% duck starter with 60mg niacin/kg. I have additional niacin I can supplement if needed. I’ve also heard the 22% may be too high but have gotten mixed reviews on whether or not it is. It’s all very confusing 😓😓. -
One of my ducklings not growing?
Hello! i have 2 baby anconas, 7 & 8 days old. One is getting MASSIVE & the other has barley grown. They are both eating & drinking, though the smaller one mainly cleans up after the larger one spills off the feeder, but also eats from the feeder too. Is this normal? Is my big one weird or my... -
