    Just out of curiosity why do ducks do this

    That's how mine sleep or rest. Sometimes I see them like that with their eyes open and alert as if they are just taking a break.

    Just following up. Michael was kept inside for three days so he could rest. He was also upped on his vitamin B and brewers yeast. Yesterday afternoon he was doing much better and he was walking normally all day today in his run. Thank you all.

    Yes. Actually the ducks have a little attitude to the chickens and keep them in line.

    Maybe. We don't have an established vet for our birds and with the lockdown vets are seeing very limited animals. But we can always try

    So I have a male call duck that has seen a significant issue with his leg/foot. Two days ago I saw a slight limp while he was walking but no distress. I immediately upped the yeast in their food. Yesterday morning I saw a significant limp and slowed/decreased walking. By afternoon he wasn't...

    Seasonal Layers?

    I have two 8 month old Anconas that are still not laying. From my reading it says around 5 months for them to start laying normally. We are now into winter here in Upstate NY. I was wondering are Anconas seasonal layers? I thought they were going to be year round layers. And I know I need to...
