That's great that it is working out so well. I think having all of that room for them is a Godsend. I never mind my drakes as long as my girls have all of their feathers and so far so good with mine but I still plan on rehoming them to a good home the end of next month as long as my friend...
Out of desperation if it is not a big hole I would push the guts back inside of it and super glue that area back together. I know that may sound crazy but there is no other way you can get it to stay together since stitching it would seem out of the question. You might even clip some of the...
I too would go by smell and feel. If they have slime on them or smell bad, out they would go if it were me. I would think that is too long but that's just me. I am the type that throws food out after a week, not everyone does that and they are just fine.
In March I just had to have a big piece of the middle of my forehead taken out from wonderful Mr. Sun. Now I have to wear a hat when I am out. Not to preach but be careful with those sunburns, they might catch you some day.

Welcome to BYC. I live 18 miles East of Columbus myself and currently have 20 ducks. This site has a boat load of information about Poultry and I love being able to ask questions and chat with others about their birds.
When my little Call Duckling female had this problem I kept holding her and soaking her bottom in warm water. Finally one time after I was gently picking near her vent a large piece of poop came out and when I put her in the water a big poop exploded out of her. She was just fine after that...
It's what ever works for you. I caught one the very first night with my Marshmellows and hot dog and the next night got the other one. Haven't had any more problems, knock on wood. I hope that you get yours too. I also bought a brand new trap off of Amazon and I think that helped too.
Your big Rouen looks just like the boys I recently got from TSC. Your little one is for sure a Mallard and looks just like the ones I bought from Metzer Farms and came to me from California. Hopefully your Rouen will not try to mate her but if he does if she is old enough it might not be a...
