How to splint a ducks foot
Hey all. My darling derpy dented duck, Darla started limping last night. It took me a little bit to figure out what foot was bothering her since she is a bit crooked but turns out it's her right foot. Looks like the joint of one of her toes is really swollen where it connects to her "palm". My... -
Foot wound. Looking for advice
Thanks! Not sure if it is bumble foot because it's more of a hole in her foot than like a swollen nodule if that makes sense? My Roen has had bumblefoot before and looked much different which is why Im thinking it's something a little different. I'm sure the treatment is relatively the same... -
Foot wound. Looking for advice
Noticed a week or so back my buff was limping. Could for the life of me find anything wrong with her and she seemed fine after a bath and the next day. Noticed last night she was limping again and holding the same leg up like it hurt to stand on it. Noticed this little hole/wound on the side of... -
Something in ducks nostril or normal anatomy?
Thanks. Definitely gives me peace of mind. I have a tendency to over react to things when it comes to my feather babies -
Something in ducks nostril or normal anatomy?
I noticed the other day that my buff duck, Mable, had a little "growth" in both of her nostrils. My Welsh didn't have this. I noticed my blue Swedish does as well but not sure about my older three ducks though I never noticed before on them as I am used to being able to see through their... -
Ducklings integration surprise 🤣
Maybe the stress of the introduction? My older ones are 5 and have been not laying regularly any more so I haven't had any eggs since putting them together but it wasn't something I was surprised by or concerned about. -
Advice needed for rescued a bonded ducks.
Also noticed the drake likely has some serious bumblefoot. I have stuff to treat it though I'm really not going to worry to much about it at the moment. Hoping to get his respiratory stuff taken care of first and him more comfortable with me before I start messing with his feet and stuff unless... -
Advice needed for rescued a bonded ducks.
I do have nutridrench in their water and I have probiotics supplements that go into my ducks regular food anyways that I sprinkled on their food. I do a saline flush for sure and I should have some antibiotic salve that I should be able to put on it at well. I just hope that whatever he has... -
Advice needed for rescued a bonded ducks.
As of yesterday I have obtained a drake and a hen that were abandoned. They hen seems to be a bit underweight and I noticed some sneezing but other wise seems okay . She does seem to be growing her flight feathers back so I'm guessing she just finished molting which may explain the weight. The... -
Ducklings integration surprise 🤣
I had Buttercup and one of the little ones in the pool at the same time last night! That is my sign of full success! -
My duck doesn't know how to swim 😂
I have the same one. It's the "summer" pool. They get a smaller one in winter because it's easier to manage and I don't think the de-icer could manage that much. -
My duck doesn't know how to swim 😂
Haha! The young ones do that. Get the zoomies and go wild. -
My duck doesn't know how to swim 😂
I kinda hope mine doesn't grow out of it. It's so funny to watch. -
Ducklings integration surprise 🤣
Treats are a bit of an issue still we need to have a Little duck and big duck distribution. But I think that's mainly due to the individual personality since bother Darla (older duck) and Mable (younger duck) are very good motivated and go nuts with treats and that results in a bit of an issue -... -
My duck doesn't know how to swim 😂
I really thought she would grow out of it but apparently not! My Welsh Duck, Beez who I got in June has this habit of flipping her self over when she is in the Tub/pool and is bathing. It's like she puts a bit too much oomf into dipping her head down and under and then her back end just comes up... -
Lost my duck this morning
I am so sorry! I also recently lost one of Roens hens. I wasn't there, I was on vacation but my dad was with her when she passed and I think my other Roen misses her. I would consider getting him a friend since ducks are very social. You could look at adopting some more drakes and have a... -
Ducklings integration surprise 🤣
Well the other day poor Mable was the unwilling recipient of my Drakes affections for the first time. Though I don't think it was too traumatic for her since today she initiated the interaction 😆. Needless to say everyone continues to get along better slowly but surely. There's still some... -
Ducklings integration surprise 🤣
Mine are still not 100% getting along yet. We had them in the hut together with a divider for about a week and a half and then took it down. Much chasing occured. My Toke and Darla still chase the ducklings and Darla will grab the back of the two of the little ones heads but nothing serious... -
Hurt foot treatment.
As far as he would allow me to look at his feet I did not see any signs of bumblefoot it was the first thing I did was to check. It was a fairly quick evaluation though because he is NOT about being picked up and especially not being flipped over haha! We have kept him in the pen all day as...
