    Sudden death

    Im heart broken this morning, I went out to the run and checked inside the coop and my pekin duck did not move. I thought it was sleeping and shook it and realized it was dead. After having somewhat of a mental breakdown, I had my boyfriend come get her out. She had her head stretched out and...

    Problem duck- advice please on ailments! 🦆

    I will look into that for sure 😊 We'll see how she fairs and if she gets any better being separated from the drake and try what you suggested, if that doesn't work maybe a couple more ducks. The reason we didn't look into that before now is because she's been absolutely fine in the last couple...

    Please help my duck is injured

    She is in the same state as yesterday when I found her. She is hanging around her nest a lot. Do you think she will be able to lay? That’s my main concern for now as I don’t want her to get egg bound. She couldn’t bend down to drink but when I brought some water up to her face she did drink. Her...

    Duck and Chicken Feed

    Hi everyone! I'm still new at this, and was looking for help. I have both chickens and ducks and was hoping to get a feed that suits them both. They're about 8 weeks now and I'm researching what I'll get them for adult food. It seems the research can be a bit confusing. Especially finding...

    Depressed Duck? HELP Please.

    Thank you for your reply. My husband & I had decided we would take her to the emergency vet in Baton Rouge (about an hour away) but I had to run to Walmart and get dog food and a few other things. As I was checking out, he messaged me saying she was dying, I thought he was exaggerating as he...

    Ducks are good at hiding symptoms..

    Thanks for mentioning it. I will send a message to the vet now. Isn’t calcium injection bad for heart? I heard this from a vet once In the website you shared it has mentioned moist too! I haven’t tried that yet I’m gonna place a humidifier in the room asap.

    Sick duck, possibly egg bound

    Since your out why not stop by TSC and pick up Calcium Gluconate this is what the vets use to help an egg bound duck pass an egg. Get a needleless syringe so you can dose her when you get home...

    2 Cayuga Girls & 1 Cayuga Drake

    just keep an eye on her for now, usually egg bound ducks won’t eat or drink much. also, the egg may pass soon. you can put her in a warm bath for like an hour or until it gets cold to help

    My mallard duck is egg bound,

    And I can't seem to help her. Our mallard duck has been egg bound for about 3 days now! She has been bound before and I fixed (or so I thought) the problem. She went a month without getting bound a second time. She's been eating the same food that she's always eaten, when she can that is. She...

    Sapphire Gem egg spots and deformity.

    The body of new layers are known to come up with some very creative faults within their first eggs. A cycle is hard to get going as well, she may take breaks between eggs, and have some very interesting ones. I’ll just give you an insight on the types of eggs you could find, and what causes them...

    Could it be Ascites?

    So I noticed my duck this morning has a big lump on her abdomen area. I thought she might be egg bound but I felt it and it’s squishy and now I’m thinking it could be Ascites. She hasn’t laid an egg in about 2ish weeks. She’s about 2 1/2 yrs old. How do you treat it? Help!

    Help! Duck health emergency question

    We opened our coop yesterday to one of our two female ducks having died overnight. We thought she may have been egg bound as she had laid a soft egg 2 afternoons before and there’s one egg every morning so hard to tell who lays it. Recently the females have been loosing feathers on their back/...

    Whats best for the duck and ducklings welfare?

    d Thanks. No I havent checked the law - but I would have thought if Im catching her to ultimately release her then thats legal. I totally understand you cant catch wild animals and keep them as pets. I definitely dont want to keep them 😂. Thanks for your advice - it makes sense about watching to...

    Pekin hen acting weird

    How long has she been like this? Is a vet an option? Is she drinking and eating? Go to TSC and pick up some Calcium Gluconate if she is eating mix 1.2ml for a 6 lb duck or .2mlper pound of duck. to get her to take full dose put it over something she really enjoys but only enough treat she gets...

    Please help, female Pekin duck suddenly acting lethargic, what could be the cause?

    It helps them pass the egg. Don't ask me the technical reason but it sure has worked for my girls. I have one duck in particular that struggled with being eggbound a lot last year. @Miss Lydia was the one that told me about the calcium gluconate. Anyway, I give 1ml by syringe at night and...

    possible egg binding

    I have no experience with eggbound chickens, but when one of my ducks was egg bound this spring, I put her in warm water in the bath tub (chicken might object to that!), and gave her crushed calcium pills. It took 13 hours of soaking to get the egg to pass. Be careful not to break an egg inside...

    Missing feathers with yellow scabs on skin. Wet vent on drake. Swollen foot.

    Hi, I know this was posted quite some time ago but I was wondering if you ever found out what the yellow scabby stuff was or how you treated it? Thanks in advance for any information! Stacy

    July Hatch-a-Long (including 4th of July hatch-a-long)

    My experience with broodies this year has led me to believe that, like humans, not all know what they're doing. Sometimes it may just be an accident, too, while moving around to knock one out. I'm going to be nervous about broodies for a while after my first time broody chicken managed to...
