    Sick duck

    After we had a devastating mink attack, my husband built the super Max duck pen. Completely surrounded with galvanized hardware cloth. I think it might be corroding. Paralysis, weakness and bright green diarrhea. We thought they'd gotten into something else, so we locked them up in the pen, than...

    Sick duck

    I posted a week ago thinking my duck had lead poisoning, turns out, I think it's zinc. I lost two, now I have one more recovering. She is improving, but not eating. I give her peas when I put her in the bathtub, but she doesn't eat much. Any suggestions on food that a duck cannot refuse?

    Lead poisioning

    My duck got into some lead paint. We've have problems before and had one necropsied at the vet school and she came up positive. We cleaned the area, but we have a sick one again. Partial paralysis and bright green diarrhea. She's inside. The rest are locked up in their pen. Can't find anyone to...

    What breed is this,?

    Oops. I was wondering. I know boys will pick in other boys, but I have male calls, and the runners leave them alone. Huh, the calls must be the cool kids. No wonder no eggs 😂

    Our local wildlife people won't take it from what I understand. I can't remember exactly why, maybe cuz not endangered?

    What breed is this,?

    She can almost fly. I wouldn't let her go like this. Maybe I can secure the yard better and once she can fly out she'd be good?

    What breed is this,?

    I believe spring. I didn't know what to do with her. We clipped her wing, and she can almost fly. Maybe I should just let her go. She keeps escaping the yard.

    I got this lil duck a couple weeks ago. I have had runners and calls for years, I was told it was a rouen. Is it? It's not a Mallard is it? Does not get along with the others. Was told it was a female, the two males I have won't leave her alone. I have ten females. Not a sound out of "her", no...

    Duckling brooder

    Hi all! Just ordered 12 female runner ducklings. The most I've ever done is 6. We have a chicken coop that we were thinking about using with a space heater with a thermostat, but then there's the scorching daytime temps. It has a18" x 36 inch opening covered hardware cloth. I don't know what to...
