A few important things I need to know about my ducks.
I just want to say thank you for this thread... one of my ducks suddenly started having runny/sticky, dark brown, horrible smelling poop this morning and I was getting very concerned. Reading this I remembered my husband giving them a huge double-handful of mealworms last night! Whew. Going to... -
Niacin Deficiency in Waterfowl
I just wanted to say thanks again for all this info. After about 2 weeks of nutritional yeast, liquid niacin drops, and extra pool time, Zelda is looking much better and standing tall! ❤️ -
The Quack Shack
Hi all! :frow Hope you're all having an awesome day! Ours has been pretty good so far, still trying to figure out how to get the ducklings out of the pool without drama though. 😆 For a breed that is supposed to be naturally inclined to herding, they sure have plenty of attitude! -
Durvet Maxi-B storage?

Durvet Maxi-B storage?

Egg hatching but has purple veins???
How long do they last you for? I am currently doing large pine shavings over a beach towel in the bathtub and it' basically 1 full changeout every morning & multiple "spot cleans" through the day. -
Niacin Deficiency in Waterfowl
I wanted to thank you all for creating this thread of fantastic info! It's been helping me a ton both in what to do and not panicking. <3 My girls are 3 weeks old tomorrow. A few days ago I noticed they were lying down more often, but thought it was because we've been giving them a lot more... -
House Ducks? 😍🦆
Oh my gosh, same! If mine are on the floor or sofa with me they all want to snuggle-bug up like crazy and go to sleep. But if I am lifting them in or out of the brooder? "MURDER! MAYHEM! HUN INVASION! CALL THE POLICE!" SO many dramatics. 😂 :rolleyes: I have had no luck with the baby/training... -
