    Duck Diapers

    Oh no! I haven’t had any issues so far, and it’s never leaked. I use cut up puppy pads in it. He doesn’t wear it all the time, but there have been a couple occasions when he’s had it in for hours (with multiple lining changes) and it’s held up for that. I just rinse it out after, it doesn’t get...

    Beak bite wound care :(

    Looks like it’s healing up well! Basically just looks like he has a smudge of dirt on his beak now. Thank you for following up :)

    Beak bite wound care :(

    Thank you :D I add it to his water occasionally too just to give his immune system a boost once in a while so thought it might help externally too and keep the wound clean! I’ve used acv to cure an ear infection in my dogs ear so I’ve definitely seen the healing benefits of it!

    Beak bite wound care :(

    Thank you guys :) I had a minor panic at first, but now that he’s rinsed it off in his water it doesn’t look bad at all! I feel bad more than anything, but he doesn’t seem to care at all!

    Beak bite wound care :(

    So my dog just went after my duck and managed to bite the edge of his beak.. it is bleeding but I was able to put pressure on it and it seems to have stopped for the most part. Are there any concerns for this injury or will it heal on its own? Should I put anything on it? Was thinking of adding...

    Duck Diapers

    I finally found a diaper I like, and highly recommend!! I too was waiting for sewsammi to come back, but it seems their summer vacation has continued into fall. I did some searching and ended up ordering from Leightons landing farm on Etsy. It’s awesome! Water resistant fabric, multiple snaps...

    Vultures?

    No landfill, but could definitely have been something dead. I live on a small farm with a pond, surrounded by woods. I’ve seen 1 or 2 flying around before, usually high up, but this was an excessive amount and some were coming quite low. I’d think it would have to be something big to attract so...

    Help! How to give pills

    My duck was on antibiotics 2 pills, 2x a day for 2 weeks! I broke the pills up into 1/4s, the peas worked well for a bit, and worked best when they were slightly frozen and I would drop them into his water. But he became wise to the pills and got picky with that, so then I switched to grape...

    Vultures?

    Thank you! Yes I’m always on the look out for hawks! The vultures have just been everywhere recently so I wanted to know how worried I had to be of these flying creatures as well!

    Vultures?

    Ah that’s what I was worried about! Some of the ones today definitely got low, I felt like they were circling us :eek:

    Vultures?

    Thank you!! That’s what I thought! He’s always got his eyes on the airplanes too, so I know it’s just anything in the sky really. My last duck was killed by a hawk, so I’m definitely always extra cautious.

    Vultures?

    Do I need to worry about vultures going after my duck? I’ve tried looking this up but I can’t get a confident answer, I’m not sure if they’re black vultures or turkey vultures or what the difference is really. The ones I’m talking about are circling high up in the sky and there’s often quite a...

    Are hawks scared of humans?

    My last duck was killed by a hawk 5 min after we let her out of her pen. We were in the kitchen maybe 10 feet away with the back door open. One of the large dogs saw the hawk and went out barking, the hawk flew away but it was too late :( It happened SO fast, and we lived in a suburban lake...

    Do your ducks let you pet them?

    My guy will let me pet him, and closes his eyes and lies down when I stroke the top of his head.. this is how I tuck him in at night :) and if I put him in my lap he’ll snuggle up with me and sleep. However, he doesn’t like being caught, and will run when I go get him from his pen, but I keep...
