Hello. I have a 5 year old female Ancona Jackie. We recently got her a friend so I now also have a 6mo old female Ancona Janet.
Jackie has become a beast with gobbling up food since getting Jackie. I’m noticing now that she almost limp waddles she’s getting so fat! What can I do? They have 2...
We feed layer poultry feed, flax seed as a treat, she gets fish pellets and meal worms at least once or twice a week as a treat and we also give her cucumbers and romaine lettuce every day or so as treats
She is doing so much better. Back to her regular self. I’m buying some oyster shells to add to her feed. See if that helps. Any other ideas on how to keep her regular. I really think that’s what was wrong. I mean we all know how much our ducks poop and for her to not poop for more than an hour...
She is normally so loving but way suckier than usual tonight. If she’s not feeling better in the morning she’s going to the vet. I’m also taking her to work with me tomorrow so she can get a good swim in see if that helps.
She is a house duck. She lives inside with us. We gave her a warm bath and I gave her some romaine lettuce and fish pellets. She finally pooped and she has been a bit more active. I am going to buy some oyster shell tomorrow. I just wish she would only lay eggs every other day. I worry about how...
ok we are panicking a bit. Jackie hasn’t pooped for almost an hour. Her poop/belly area is a bit puffy. She is wobbling a bit and not really sure on her feet. The only vet that knows anything about ducks here isn’t back until tomorrow. She also usually lays an egg every day but did not lay one...
So just an update. We went almost 2 weeks of giving her only her feed. She is doing really good. She is actually eating it now. We just started introducing back treats here and there. Usually only during bath time in the water.
Just curious we are currently giving our duck a lava stone, looks kinda like a pumice stone. She love love loves it. I was wondering about your thoughts on giving her a himalyian rock salt stone?
So again 1st time duck mom. Our sweet Jackie has very recently started laying eggs. Every thing we have read says she should lay an egg every other day or so. Well so far she has laid every day. We have been feeding her a lot of fish pellets, veggies, worms, and fruits. She always seems to be...
Hello fellow duck peeps. So last August we found ourselves new surrogate parents to a sweet lil duck. We recently discovered Jack is actually Jackie lol. We have already gathered 6 eggs. I’m not sure if she is a Magpie duck or a Ancona? Would really love help with that. I am also posting a...
Hello all. So in August we acquired ourselves a pet duck. We recently determined she’s a girl. She she is almost 5 months now and we have sooo many questions. We have been reading up on this site for a couple months now and are feeding her a great diet. She is beautiful. She is very...
