    Duck not walking all the sudden?

    So this morning all my 9 khaki campbells seemed to be fine but next time I saw them about 3 hours later one of them can hardly walk. She doesn't seem to be egg bound as far as I can tell. She seems to be keeping her legs kicked back and can't put them flat really. What should I do or check...

    VETS OF NO HELP FOR MY SICK DUCK

    Hello, fellow duck keepers; my sweet Tilly, a year-and-a-half-old Saxony hen, has been sick for a while. I've been to two vets for 3 visits, and they cannot reach the root cause. She has lost weight, she went through two molts in the fall and her feathers did not grow back fully, she's pale and...

    Limping duck, I don't know what to do

    She’s so pretty! I don’t know if the two issues are related, but they could be. Sometimes when a hen is egg bound, the pressure on a certain nerve paralyzes a leg, but it doesn’t sound like that’s your problem. what are you feeding the ducks and are you giving calcium in the form of oyster...

    Duck suddenly vomited up three slugs and had runny white poop. She laid down with her feet behind and tried to press a lot! She did press so much that her intestins almost came out, but they didn’t. I put her in a big tub of water and now she seems a bit better. But her feet are straight behind...

    HELP!! EGG BOUND! TUMS???

    Hi guys, I have an egg bound duck. She is currently in warm water as we speak pushing. She finally passed 1 oblong shaped egg about 20 mins ago but is having a hard time getting the rest out.

    Please help mee

    She's a Muscovy. Yes being egg-bound is very serious so if you can get the calcium gluconate asap that would be good. In the meantime if you have any other type of calcium? I lost a Muscovy from being egg-bound about 11 yrs ago being a new duck owner I didn't know how to help her, now I keep...

    Dogs got into my duck pen

    Hey, they are still alive and I’m planning on giving them a bath because I’m worried one may be egg bound, they seem to be drinking and reacting to me, so I’m hoping that’s a good sign, and it was just this one pen that had a weak point, I put up a lot of plywood for now for another pen although...

    The ULTIMATE list of DUCK Treats and Supplements...

    I would be careful trusting this list. You should absolutely not give ducks any dairy products since they can't process dairy and can cause problems. They cannot eat tomatoes of all kinds. Avoid green tomatoes as they are toxic. The same goes for potatoes. Potatoes should be avoided since they...
