    How to integrate late hatched ducklings with others.

    Hopefully we’ll get to a point where the moms won’t care as much. We’ve tried a couple times now, and the moms are extremely aggressive. They honestly seem like they want to kill them. We will likely have to find a home for them if it doesn’t change once they’re fully grown.

    Clear liquid bubble near stitches of wound

    Thank you for the replies everyone! I will put some antibiotic ointment on it, and leave the scab in place since the skin doesn’t look infected. Thank you again!

    Clear liquid bubble near stitches of wound

    Azygous, just saw your reply. Do you think that will be alright with the stitches? I do believe they are dissolvable.

    Clear liquid bubble near stitches of wound

    She’s not acting very lethargic. We have her in a crate right now to heal up, so it’s hard to tell. We just let her outside to get some fresh air and seems to be acting normal. Not eating as much as she usually does, but thinking that’s because she’s not too happy away from the rest of the...

    Clear liquid bubble near stitches of wound

    Hello everyone, One of our ducks got injured two days ago (6/18), we think she was hit in the road. She had a few wounds that we had a veterinarian t stitch up. He has experience with poultry. Around the sutures are a few clear/white bubbles. Does anyone know what they are? Just pockets of...

    How to integrate late hatched ducklings with others.

    We ended up setting up a brooder. We tried to integrate them in but the mothers kept pushing one of them down and pecking, so they’re both together in the brooder now.

    When to move late hatchlings with mom

    We’ll try that. I’m sure she won’t even notice having 15 already. Thank you!

    When to move late hatchlings with mom

    Hello all, We let our 2 Khaki Campbells incubate their eggs. 15 hatched last weekend 5/31, but 2 of the eggs must have been rolled in from our other ducks late, since they didn’t hatch. I put them in a homemade incubator since the mothers abandoned the nest. They just hatched yesterday and...

    First duck run construction progress

    Nice! I really like the use of the rocks. We have a ton of rocks of all shapes and sizes from the barns that used to be on the property. Always looking for new ideas to use them! Is that a PVC feeder you have in the corner there of the run? It looks clean, blends right in.

    First duck run construction progress

    Hello all, We’ve finally decided where we want our permanent coop and run for our 4 ducks and 4 baby ducks. We repurposed an old shed (10x20)that was on our property and moved it across the yard. We partitioned the back half (10x10) for the coop and built a lean to style on one side for the...

    Weak duck collapsed with vomiting and green/black poop

    Yes, I'm currently fixing their soon to be duck coop (100 year old shed) which involved removing all the old siding. Our house was also built in 1890, so I'm sure there is lead paint on the original wood siding. As far as removing it, I've done the best I can to make sure any visible chips are...

    Weak duck collapsed with vomiting and green/black poop

    She seems to be doing alright. She can stand up on her own now but can't walk very well. I gave her some epsum salt dissolved in water to try and flush anything out. I will be giving her some metamusal here soon to try and get any little paint chips out. She's been eating and drinking water...

    Weak duck collapsed with vomiting and green/black poop

    Thanks for the link! I got ahold of some charcoal capsules. I want to make sure I understand the dosage for charcoal. The whole 8 oz slurry needs to be administered per dose? So at 6-8 times a day, that would be 48-64 oz a day ... That seems like a lot to me.
