Duck attacking other duck
I have 2 drakes, they're 4 years old. They’re bonded males. This year has been awful. They’re all of a sudden extremely violent and aggressive. They’ve bitten me until I am bleeding. But the one has started attacking the other. Ripping his feathers out. I’ve tried to stop it and separate them... -
golden 300 hybrid drakes illinois
I have 2 beautiful golden 300 hybrid drakes that are bonded and need to go together. I am being forced to get rid of them. They are my heart. They are indoor ducks but I’m sure they could adapt well with other ducks outside. I don’t really have a price for them, I am just looking for a good home...- Smschiro

Forced to get rid of my ducks :-(
Hi, I am being forced to get rid of my 2 beautiful golden 300 hybrid drakes. They are bonded and need to go together. They are indoor ducks, but I’m sure they could get accustomed to outdoors if had other ducks too. They are 3 years old. 😭 -
BREAK OR SPRAIN?
I can’t do much, but I got an x-large dog crate so my other male doesn’t attack him, and he can relax, eat, drink at his leisure. Hydrotherapy in the evenings and I let him try to walk a bit. I don’t really know what else to do. -
BREAK OR SPRAIN?
Yeah but his last day on meds is tomorrow. He only has a brother. I just have the 2 drakes. But I’m trying to keep him calm 🙂 -
BREAK OR SPRAIN?
Thank you everyone. The vet had to send the xrays to a radiologist and we found today that my drake has quite large testicles. His left one is very inflamed and swollen and pushing on nerves, resulting in his leg pain. So trying to contain him until his hormones subside and swelling goes down. -
BREAK OR SPRAIN?
His left hip (on the right) doesn’t look like it’s in place? His right joint is snug in the socket.. but the left one seems slightly out of place and higher.. if anyone could give advice please -
BREAK OR SPRAIN?
No they didn’t say anything.. but what’s also concerning is that his leg/hip makes a strange clicking/cracking sound now when he moves it ☹️ -

BREAK OR SPRAIN?
Hi, my drake injured himself, I’m not sure how, and was limping one afternoon. However by the next day, it was 100x worse. He was barely using the leg. I took him to the vet.. but bc of covid I couldn’t go in with him. I talked to the dr over the phone and was explaining that he is basically... -

Papillomavirus?!?! Help please!
Yes, she swims multiple times a day, she’s my only duck like this. Which is why I am so confused and struggling with her. My other duck had a small bumble which I treated, and it went away. So I knew it wasn’t bumble foot. Thank you for your advice! I will be cutting her nails and applying bag balm
