His quack is in between the two. Definitely not as vocal as my other duck but not the quiet drake as in most of the videos. With the penciling on the feathers it just made me question gender a little more. My daughter thinks we should call him Z because of the gender neutrality appearance 😆

I guess it’s good I already have a home for it then:cool: Too bad tho. He’s extremely social and would probably have been a good friend for my other but I’m not building a separate coop for just two ducks nor putting my existing gal through the romances of an excited drake. My duck would miss...

It seems really young. Wouldn’t it have a sex feather by now too?

Hopefully these will load. Third times the charm...?

pictures wouldn’t upload. I’ll try again

Weird story. A friend of mine found a khaki Campbell or khaki mix that was dumped at a local park. It is very friendly and seems to think it needs to be inside. It was dehydrated and underweight. I have it isolated from the rest of my flock and it is looking a lot better after a week. I was...

Most of what I found leads me to suspect it was a vit d deficiency. It doesn't seem very common or I think more people would be on it. I was feeding an all grain starter and I dont think they were eating the vitamin parts of the food. I used the baby vit with out iron and the sling but I think...

Thanks! Am warming saline to flush now. Just picked up some neosprin and vet wrap. I'm going to take her to my aunts after to double check everything- she's a vet. Ill try to figure out how to get the picture up too. It's pretty bad- anyone want a beautiful lavender rooster or two?

Just found one of the girls with a huge L shaped gash under her right wing. Skin is completely ripped open. There is no fowl odor or inflammation but she is lethargic. My mom sewed a hen together after a dog got it when I was little and it lived many more years but I cant remember what she...

Baby Poopoop is now able to raise herself onto her hocks and is back to being fiesty- she glared at and pecked the cat in the head when it got too close to her food. She is starting to try to raise herself all the way up but isn't quite there yet and has only been able to get up about three...

Aww poor girl! Looks like the pictures I've seen of coryza. I hope you were able to find the right medications! That's a pretty scary disease. I would also start cleaning everything everyday and separating them out. Definitively keep the new girls separate and disinfect everything and...

Thanks for replying! I am giving her oyster shells with her food and I don't expect much from a first egg. I was actually surprised at how normal it looked other than the thin shell. I have her in a sling I made from some old undies. She can move her legs but they seem weak. She kinda uses them...

I'm sorry I just saw this. I hope your's turned out better than mine. I was able to find some ideas online to make chick slings out of cottage cheese containers and a sock to support him (I now believe he was a rooster) while I kept his legs taped in their proper place. I gave poly-v-sol...

Is it smelly, discolored, thick discharge? Any swelling? Is their poo normal or.... I would start them on a round of antibiotics and maybe give a supplement to start. Do you have a heat lamp? Are they getting chilled at night? If you have walked at your neighbors and then walked around your...

Anyone out there? Ideas or not- is this post invisible? The leg thing is really confusing for me- can they damage nerves in the push out? Someone please let me know they can see this...
