    Duck issues...

    We are now giving her straight duck feed. She does not have bumble foot, the bottoms we've checked multiple times. We have been giving her human grade Niacin sprinkled on her food. We open a 500mg capsule and sprinkle it over 8oz of food. Then we give her a heaping spoonful with her food every...

    Duck issues...

    Thank you so much for the information we really appreciate it. I'll get the needed stuff, it's better to be safe than sorry. I did weigh her out a half a pound of duck pellets and she did eat all of that and then some. Hoping to keep her on that diet. I'll post back in a couple days to...

    Duck issues...

    Thank you, I'll definitely try that today. We don't really give her treats unless you mean fresh vegetables and blueberries. Would you suggest pausing the fresh foods also?

    Duck issues...

    You are correct, she is a Pekin duck. I am not entirely sure how much she is eating but I will defiantly weigh out about a half pound and make sure she is getting enough. I doubt she's been eating that much. She will eat anything we put in front of her. We bought 500mg Niacin capsules that we...

    Duck issues...

    She is 2 months old now and we were giving her both starter and duck together. She sleeps inside a dog igloo in our attached garage but we take her out to her sister each morning after we feed and water her to make sure she is getting enough food. She spends her day out in the grass of our back...

    Duck issues...

    Hello All! I've had chickens for many years now but recently we decided to try our hand at ducklings. I mean, how can you not...they're so sweet and cute. We purchased 3 ducklings from Tractor Supply on the 5th of April and I assume they were just a few days old. To me, the untrained eye they...

    Broken Back???

    Thank you again Eggcessive for all your insight, I really appreciate it. I did not notice anything unusual about their food. For the most part they are free-range chickens. They do prefer eating bugs and grass over eating their pellets. A friend of mine who has chickens tell me how their...

    Broken Back???

    Thank you Eggcessive for your insight, I really appreciate it. I will pick up a vitamin at Tractor Supply today. I put her in a bird cage (it's about 18"x12") and placed her inside the coop because her sisters were constantly calling for her. I have a water and food bowl in her cage as well...

    Broken Back???

    Hello, I need help! Two days ago I came home to find one of my girls laying in the back yard. She looked like she was basking in the sun. Her sisters came running over to me but she continued to sit like she was roosting. Eventually she came over but couldn't walk. She was pulling herself over...
