    Autistic pigeon?

    I know this is an old post but, honestly this pigeon just sounds like it has failure to thrive or a neurological condition. What drew my attention was that the title infers you think the pigeon is Autistic. ASD is only seen in humans and its a little offensive to equate the pigeon to...

    Help! Limping duck!

    Well, from the pictures of my examination I guess there aren't any broken stuff, which is good. Luckily Epsom Salt is pretty easy to buy from where I'm from. Can you give me more detail on how to use it? Thanks for your quick response.

    Help! Limping duck!

    Please somebody! My KC hen is constantly sitting down recently, and she seems to be limping. Upon further inspection there are no visible wounds and we believe she is limping on her right leg. I don't know if photos will but I attached some. I don't know if normal vets can help my duck and even...

    Whats wrong with my duck's eye?

    I do give her a pool but I still got a little spray bottle in case. But ever since I got the bottle ready her eye is OK again lol. But thanks for your advice, I'll have my spray ready if any of my ducks have stuff in their eye.

    Whats wrong with my duck's eye?

    Hello all, Recently I've noticed that my KC hen closing her left eye frequently. The first time I observed her doing this was a few days ago, after that she didn't do it anymore so we thought that there must have just been something in her eye. Now she's doing it again today, so I'd like to...

    Is my duck sick? [SOLVED]

    She's laid another healthy egg today. Temperature has lowered and weather suddenly became rainy. Weird weather here in BNE. We have feed especially for quality eggs for ducks. We've refilled the pool with fresh water more often now. I'll still check on her and buy oyster shells. The feed says it...

    Is my duck sick? [SOLVED]

    It's very hot where we are, and she always hides under a leafy sapling we have near their pool. Sometimes she stays there all day and only leaves to forage and drink some water. If the weather wasn't as hot, I would put her in a lukewarm tub of water, but another problem will arise. My family...

    Is my duck sick? [SOLVED]

    I would like to get her in a warm tub, but it is 35 degrees Celsius here in Australia. Poop looks fine, no worms, she's fat and she almost spends her entire day eating and drinking. Walks fine, very tired. I only have two ducks, so she follows her mate. Thanks for reply ;)

    Is my duck sick? [SOLVED]

    Hey all, My Khaki Campbell seemed to be unwell. She doesn't have any severe symptoms, luckily. My KC seems always tired, sometimes breathes with her mouth open and has decreased in egg production. She even sometimes lays soft-shelled eggs in the middle of her day. I know it's almost impossible...
