I have ducks and had this experience too!! Both my chickens and ducks much prefer the flakes oyster shell. Expensive pallets 🤣

Good to know! My kids and husband sometimes eat the chicken eggs raw… the ducks eggs most of the time are … not as clean 😅 chickens are definitely easier. My husband hates the ducks. But there’s nothing cuter than a duck doing zoomies under the water or cocking their head sideways in curiosity...

Thanks for the reply! Yes they are nonstop with the water and always have access to a little pond to swim. It is just the one egg so far, and I’ve checked more of them. I sell our chicken eggs frequently but my duck eggs just here and there (lots of people scared to eat duck eggs like it’s...

Posted in emergencies/diseases group as well… This is my second year with ducks, we just have three female Indian runners. I cracked this egg today and noticed some slimy orange/rust colored spots inside the egg shell. I tossed the egg as there was a slight off putting smell from that spot. The...

thank you!

Pistacio update!! She is hanging with her friends doing all the ducky things. The swelling is gone, nose is clear and she is back to her happy self! I used electrolytes in her water everyday along with respiratory rx in her water and also applied directly around her nose, underwings, etc. all...

Thank you!! I’m currently waiting for Baytril to arrive, I grabbed three bottles as rumor has it all antibiotics are going off the shelf without a prescription… will be good to have on hand. I’m currently treating with Vetrx and electrolyte/probiotic mix in the water. She was walking around...

I will try this! You don’t need a prescription? And would you suggest isolating her or let her stay with her friends for less stress? Also, that website even if I do priority shipping says 3-10 business days. Tractor supply carries penicillin and Tylan? Would it be wise to start with one of...

Here are pics of Pistacio

My 1.5 year old Indian runner has a swollen face and swollen area under her bill. She is a little shaky and either won’t quack or cannot quack, and is very easy to catch. She sat in her pind all day today alone which is not like her. From other posts I believe this may be a sinus infection? Her...

Please help Pistacio! ☹️ I have an Indian runner female duck who is acting off today. She has been in her little pond all day alone. I went closer to check on her and noticed the underside of her bill is swollen as well as her cheek areas (one side more so than the other). She isn’t quacking or...

Yeah I’m going to wait two more weeks just to be super sure or until his drake feather is fully visible- they’ll understand better that way. Currently they think it’s a “shim” 😂

My kids named him Kiwi 🥝 they’re gonna be sad 😭😅
