    Prolapse? Help!

    Thank you Casportpony. I have been running a waterfowl rescue and sanctuary for a little over 2 years now and have had 4 deaths. 3 of them due to incompetent vet care or not enough vet care due to lack of funds. We are working on getting our non profit paperwork through so that we can get...

    Prolapse? Help!

    I have had 2 prolapses with my ducks. 1 prolapse had a gas bubble that looks like your picture. 600.00 vet visit and she was saved. Another one was a vet visit to a different vet who charged the same amount but didnt do an x-ray and killed the duck by not getting out the big egg inside. She was...

    great post! I have watched a couple of instructional video'son youtube, but because you use 1 container it seems so much easier. You will be the first to know how my colony turns out per your instruction.

    Just wondering, with a 10 gallon aquarium, (and im guessing there is about 5lbs worth of worms in there), how many birds are you treating per day and how much? I have 13 ducks, and go through 10 dry lbs of worms a month, only giving 6 handfuls a day. I use the worms to train the ducks to come in...

    can my ducks and chickens eat the same feed?

    Ducks should not eat chicken feed as a main diet. My ducks flat out refuse crumble of ANY kind. They shouldnt eat game bird feed. Again, none of this will harm them, but they need food that is either from theyre natural habitat, or scientifically formulated feed, such as Mazuri Waterfowl...

    Eating eggs after they have been sat on for a couple - to few days? don't want to eat embryo

    When is too long to still eat eggs when the hen has been sitting on them the whole time? I don't want to crack an egg to eat, to see a partially formed embryo. That would turn me off from eating another egg forever, and, I just started eating my own eggs, so, I don't want that to happen,

    Lazy layers?

    My Pekin used to lay an egg everyday, until my mallard mix started laying. Now my pekin will only lay jelly eggs with the tube attached. 1 or 2 times a month my pekin will actually lay a fully formed egg. Now, i introduced a new mallard mix to them, and she started laying, so now my other...

    Psychological Egg Laying

    Hi all, My ducks wont lay at the same time as any others. They take turns. Whichever ducks dont lay, lay jelly eggs with the tubes still attached. I have my Muscovie ducks seperated from my Pekin and mallard mixes, so they lay regardless of what the others do, but my Pekin and Mallard mixes...

    California Hatchery reviews?

    I found another duck "farm", in SoCal. It is in SanDiego County. Why I say "farm", is that it is owned by a guy that sells the eggs. Any ducks that stop laying, or unwanted drakes ( they are all Pekin), are probably killed and sold to pig farmers. On the net it had ( butcher) under his farm. He...

    Electronic Sonic Racoon/fox repellant?

    Thanks all. My coop is like Fort Knox. I left one of the doors open by accident a couple of weeks ago and my duck was attacked and killed. I haven't built a pen/run yet. My coop is almost a pen itself, 10ft long and 4ft wide, has a swimming pool and little house in it. But it is just for night...

    Electronic Sonic Racoon/fox repellant?

    Ok, so I have a couple of ducks, plan on 1 or 2 more, and am getting 3 hens. I have no foxes, but tons of rats, possum and raccoons. I am looking at all sorts of repellents. I bought a humane trap but the trap proved to not work very well. So I looked into that mint spray, and saw the sonic...

    California Hatchery reviews?

    I call ed I called California hatchery and all you get is an answering machine that says to email them. It took them a day to reply. They are in Rancho Cucamonga, about a 30 m-45 minute drive from my house, so, I asked if I could pick up the ducks since I was local. They said no, I have to...

    The Duck Thread

    Hi Pyxis and thanks. I changed the way I give the niacin. I now have a pill cutter I got at the drug store, since the amount I need to give is 100mg and the pills are 500mg, I cut them into quarters. I then take 1 quarter, put it in a thick freezer sandwhich bag, and crush it into a powder. I...
