    Mallard limping

    Mallard limping

    So these are her feet. I’ve gotten poultry aid, gauze, vet tape and neosporine. I’ve cleaned it and bandaged it. How often should I change the bandage? I am also keeping her in her house all day. Does this sound ok?

    Mallard limping

    I have 4 drakes. I’ve been trying to keep them separated, but they keep getting to them I guess by flying over 3ft fence dividing them. I’ve started to keep boys locked up in their house/run for a few days

    Mallard limping

    So my mallard female started limping. I’ve picked her up and felt legs, looked at feet and don’t notice anything. She is my smallest female and I think maybe one of the drakes may have accidentally hurt her, they are Pekins. I will try to post a video of her limping and photos of her feet. It...

    Mallard hen question

    I have two other hens laying. I know it’s not Gigi because her eggs are blue and these are white. So do you think she’s got some hidden somewhere ?

    Mallard hen question

    My Mallard hen, Gigi will lower her head and walk chattering at me when I go outside. It doesn't seem aggressive. Does she see me as a vending machine? Lol. Also, she has been wandering off like she is nesting, but I have checked everywhere and can’t find any nests anywhere!

    Duck eggs!

    I am excited because one of the ducks I took in started to lay eggs. She has a severe limp and seemed like a bit of an outcast at first, but now is laying and drakes are giving her attention. There are 5 girls in the house with her and I am getting 2 eggs a day. So are two ducks laying in the...

    Duck passed away

    Do you think she could’ve accidentally in jested some metal and got lead poisoning? I recently took on a duck who was acting like yours and the vet said she had lead poisoning. She died while at the vet. I’m so sorry for your loss.
