Egg problems at 6 years old?
Well my daughter says Lily and Loo will live for ever they way I take care of them lol. However life span can range 8-10+ years I think. And it is extremely hot here. The girls have multiple pools, shade, mud. Loo can be a controlling jerk. Maybe she upset Lily. She just seems off tonight. Thank you -
Egg problems at 6 years old?
Worried about my sweet duck Lily. Shes 6 1/2 years old. Tonight not interested in their normal routine hunting and playing in the mud. She sat in her water dish and watched Loo play. I saw her tail moving a little like maybe pushing slightly not sure. She stayed away from Loo off to herself. But... -
My 2nd duck hen getting drake curl?
He sounds so sweet. I lock Loo and Lily up when I go to work and sometimes I sprinkle about a teaspoonful of crushed passion flower greens in her treat water I leave them to play in. Keeps her calm. On a bad day I add a small pinch of lavender flower and or crushed lemon balm leaf. I come home... -
My 2nd duck hen getting drake curl?
Thank you for the life span link. Gives me hope for many more years to come :) When Loo got hurt in 2021 I had contacted a vet and that doctor thought she was old then, for a duck. I couldn't believe it, I had read maybe 10+. -
My 2nd duck hen getting drake curl?
Such beautiful ducks! I can see why you thought she was a drake. How is her personality compared to the others? Loo has anxiety and has to know where I am. -
My 2nd duck hen getting drake curl?
Thank you Miss Lydia. I never thought of hormonal so yes very possible. These 2 have been such a handful lol. I cant believe that we made it 6 years. And I cant believe that they are considered old now. What is a senior age for Khaki Campbells? Lily was laying until this winter she had a full... -

My 2nd duck hen getting drake curl?
Yes Loo and Lily both laid eggs. However Loo never was very motherly like her sister Lily. Lily would make nests and sit half the day. Loo would just drop an egg and be on her way. She did struggle with her eggs as she would sit in her water tub and lay also. Then one day I found this weird grey... -
My 2nd duck hen getting drake curl?
I had been told that it may be possible that because my duck was of a wild breed having some mallard blood line (wild breed) could be why this happened to Loo originally. However I'm kind of shocked it looks like Lily is starting to get the curl now. It just started so I can update pictures as... -

My 2nd duck hen getting drake curl?
How is it possible my other khaki campbell hen Lily is getting a drake curl? Loo my darker girl stopped laying and got her drake curl last year. Loos feet turned bright orange and her head has a green sheen color in the sunlight. Then her and her sister Lily started fighting horribly about a... -

Loo developed a drake curl
Loo is almost 4 years old and she developed a drake curl in December. She never had too much interest in her eggs. More of a Tomboy duck lol. Lily loved making nests and sitting on her eggs. But not Miss Loo. Anyway crazy as it seems my girl Loo continues to surprise me. Does anyone else have... -
Duck screams when I leave her run?
I would definitely be on alert for any problems they are alerting you to. Breach in pen holes anywhere and so on. However I have a duck a hen whose 3 years old. And out of my 2 she is most unfriendly. She has anxiety about where I am. I have to allow her access to my areas or she screams. I... -
Khaki duck foot sprain or ?
Thank you for checking on her, shes doing ok. Still not walking around or applying pressure. But she uses that foot to itch her face, so cant be all bad. Swelling goes up and down, no clicking luckily. She does like to sit in her tub if water which I add fresh dried lavender, passion flower...- LilyLoo
