    Ducks sitting - babies dying

    Good to know. I will assume that’s what’s happening. Crazy ladies!

    Ducks sitting - babies dying

    If you don’t mind, please advise. I have a couple of white splash Swedish ducks sitting on eggs. They shared a nest at first, then decided to separate into two nests, side by side. The last week or so, we keep finding babies dead, that appear to have just hatched as they’re still wet. The...

    More geese or more time?

    That makes sense though! Thanks for your input. This too shall pass…

    More geese or more time?

    I have two pilgrim geese, male & female. The gander was sweet, until mating season (I do understand that’s normal) now he tries to kill chickens, ducks, even donkeys if he’s feeling real brave.

    Possibly egg bound? Not sure

    Thank you!! She seems to be doing alright, we are hopeful. It also doesn’t seem to have penetrated too far, likely my husband is to thank for that. He disrupted a dog mid attack but he didn’t think it got anyone… now I guess we know it did. I really wish people would take care of their dogs.

    She is doing so well today. She wouldn’t eat or drink last night or this morning so I brought another khaki in and neither would eat. I brought them outside and she resumed eating and drinking right away. She does seem a little sore but otherwise she’s foraging with the other ducks

    Luckily we do have an antibiotic on hand! I will definitely keep an eye on her food/water intake.

    It’s under her wing, just under the top where it bends

    I cleaned it out and sprayed it with vetricyn

    Possibly egg bound? Not sure

    Ye Its smaller than quarter sized and it doesn’t appear to have gone very deep, just below the skin. She’s in a small coop on her own right now, because she’s so skittish I think being inside was causing her more stress.
