They are on an organic layer feed. It’s hard to separate the food from my boy and girl. I give them lettuce, peas, sardines, cucumbers (not everyday but as a snack or treat). Occasionally dried grasshoppers and mealworms. But they always forage in my yard.
He’s fine now. I just get so worried about any little thing. Lol
Like I constantly am worried they are going to choke on something even though I cut all their veggies tiny and give them an abundance of water. Why am I this way! Lol
random question… can ducks puke because they are too full?
My pekin just puked up like 4 earthworms… I saw him eat a bunch outside… could he be too full? He was drinking water and started puking in the water. Poor kid lol I hate when he pukes. The only other time my ducks have puked is riding...
They are literally my life. I love them so much. I notice every little thing with them. I just worry. Like they are my kids. They bring me so much joy. They are coming up on 6 months. I believe they molted in the fall. Their feathers were doing really good til it got colder. I just don’t want...
I have noticed recently that both my male and female duck have been looking and getting really wet after bath time. Since it’s been cold, we limit outdoor baths, but it’s getting a little nicer (40 degrees) so I let them swim outside. We usually allow them in our bath tub every 1-2 days. We also...
My male Pekin was in the bath, I gave him lettuce, he just preened and oiled himself up for like 30 minutes and keeps yawning??? Is he ok? Hes been doing it for like 15 minutes. Im trying to post a video but its being a pain.
Mine do it too. When I notice he does it, I just slide my feet to walk around instead of taking actual steps. It usually doesn’t last too long. It’s so cute. I like to think they are playing 🤣🤣
Hi. So I know that roosters have a tendency to be aggressive while mating with the hens. BUT, I have a rooster (who seems to be a little mentally and physically delayed, seriously). We actually thought he was a girl until we heard him crow one day. He is full grown, 8 months or so. Just started...
Thank you for the info! We have oyster shell for our chickens and we do the same thing for them.
So I should assume they are fine since they are acting OK after that puking episode last night? I am taking them to a vet in a couple weeks just to do a wellness check and learn more. I love them so...
So separate grit in a bowl or can I mix with food? I was mixing when they were little.
I use the nature valley organic feed in the yellow bag. I thought they transitioned an adult feed after laying eggs. I have a boy and girl. Should I transition to the adult food now or wait?
Thank you!
Hi! I have two ducks. Male (Pekin) and female (mix of Pekin). They are 4 months old. I am new to owning ducks. They are indoor outdoor ducks. They sleep inside at night and we allow them to roam during the day and swim. We love them dearly.
Yesterday I noticed what looked to be my ducks...
