    Can you neuter a drake?

    I just started giving my swedish drake 1mg melatonin about 2 weeks ago because he would attach my husband, chihuahua (he's hairless so it was doing some damage),and me whenever we went in back and we spend a lot of time in our backyard with our kids. Anyway, my female swedish stopped laying...

    clogged duck nose???

    the bath worked! That was their first bath too, it was so fun watching them. we'll def do that more often. I guess I need a better water source for them until we get a small pool for them. I had to hide the kid toys after that

    They definitely don't stand tall to walk, the waddle like a duck. we've had them for a little over 6 weeks, they've had a lot of new things come into their life the last 2 weeks (chicken/duck coop, dog face to face with them, first night living outside, etc) so I'm not surprised they're afraid...

    clogged duck nose???

    awesome thank you so much. He's not panting anymore but I still can't see through his nose liks I can the other one. I'm a Veterinary Assistant so it's making me want to bring home some forceps and dig it out but I don't know how sensitive their sinus cavity is.

    no but the grey one does. It doesn't look as slinder standing up though. the black one is more docile while grey one is a scardy cat so he stands and sqeeks if I'm holding the black one

    so much verity! They are terrified of us right now unless we give them treats, but we also have a 4 and 2 year old (human kids haha) and a big dog that follow them around non stop. They're getting better but still sqeek like crazy if I pick them up or pet them. The chicken don't seem to mind...
