It sounds like it's deformed, definitely add some Niacin to it's food and/or water . Also try looking at older threads about deformed ducklings and see if you can find anything.
I wish you and your little duckling luck!
My Pekin Duck eggs are due to hatch on the 27th or 28th, I'm SUPER EGGCITED(lol)!! It'll be my first hatch, I'm using my Silkie. Hopefully she stays put on them eggs! What I'm most happy about is they'll hatch a few days after X-Mas and one to two days before my Birthday! Or heck, even possibly...
Hello everyone! It's been a few months since I've got on here, well I'm back! lol
I did something really dumb today. I was putting all of my birds in the shed for the night, usually I collect the eggs at that time of day. I collected my Pekin duck's egg first then my Silkie chicken's. My...
Congratulations on his progress! Its AMAZING what you've done for this lucky one!
Though I do feel bad for all the other birds , did you ever call Animal Control?
My chickens and ducks don't get along either, my oldest hen always attacks the ducks. For no apparent reason too, maybe try and separate them for awhile. Also I'd make sure no predators are coming around at night that could possibly be scaring them. Good luck !
Every drake is different but my Pekin drake, he's the meanest duck I have. He always picks fights with my Muscovys and chases me while I'm around him. But that's my Duckie !
I currently only have four Ducks and four Chickens , but I'm going to build my 20lx4wx6h coop soon so I'm planning on getting more birds !
And I would definitely get a Emu if I could !
I don't know why people think they'll be healthy with only cracked corn, it makes me mad. Plus I wouldn't want to be fed corn for my whole life even if I was a bird : /.
Thankyou, I have worked very hard getting him back to the way he is now. I can't wait till my female Muscovy gets better...
Thanks!! Le quack(the drake) used to be a show bird until his previous owners bought him and gave him only cracked corn to eat. That ruined his plumage until I bought him and now hes back to being a White-headed Chocolate ripple instead of a White-headed Buff. I have to say hes my most well...
No, not necessarily. I used to have a White leghorn and she was quite mean, maybe that's what your "California crosses" are. They probably think that they "rule" the place because they killed their rooster, also if you don't handle them very often they tend to become more aggressive. Hopefully...
