23 week australorp hen not walking
I'm pretty stumped. I honestly thought she would be dead by now or considerably better. Its been 12 days since I noticed she wasn't coming out of the coup with the other chickens. She couldn't walk or stand and was a bit floppy just sitting there. I brought her inside and inspected her. No...- BladeDuck

Muscovy Egg Taste
I had a couple muscovys for 3-4 months. I wanted to love them because they were quiet but I found their eggs to taste weird. I had Khaki campbells and Golden 300 birds as well as the time and didn't think their eggs were weird. They were already laying when I got them,a bout 19 months old, and... -
Prolapse vent and eggbound
Hi all, its been a while! I have a Khaki that has had a prolapse vent for nearly two years now. I tried everything short of taking her to a vet when it first showed up. I put her back with the other ducks and decided I would let her be and deal with additional probelms as they came. I figured... -
7-week Pekin Duckling not walking :(
I now have another sick duck, this time one of my ducklings. She was acting normally the last time i checked on her at 10:30 and at 5:30 discovered her laying sideways in the grass. I have brought her in and really inspected her legs, they don't seem broken at all. I put a lot of pressure on all... -
Crusty Bum
I just noticed my KC female has a bunch of poo stuck to her bum and it looks inflamed. I tried to see if any of it would just come off but it was stuck on there and giving her some discomfort. My other two adult ducks and five 7-week-olds all look good. I just moved to a place with a quarter... -
Duck pen size?
I will be moving to a new home in a few weeks. I will have about a quarter acre yard. Currently I'm in a townhome with a small backyard and the ducks have a pen about 10'x14' with a small coup they can go in and out of at their choosing. The pen is mostly concrete so its been simple to keep... -
Do my ducks need more fat?
So I'm pretty sure this is not usually advised because of little bones and 'cousin' cannibolism.... But I roasted a chicken last week and let my ducks pick the carcass and slurp up all the drippings. They CLEANED that carcass, skin and drippings. I've never fed them meat before so I wasn't sure... -
Decreasing Noise
Well, I got my first noise complaint from a neighbor saying, "the quacking in the early morning is unbearable!" But to clarify that statement, I don't let my ducks out of their coup until 8:30am and rarely do I actually hear them chattering from inside their coup while I'm in my house (which is... -
5 Week ducklings not eating feed
I just moved my five 5 week old ducklings outside last week. Before I moved them outside, they were doubling their food intake almost every day. When I moved them outside, they were pretty quick to figure out where the waterer and feeder are and didn't increase their food intake anymore. But... -
Moving ducks to outside coup
Hi all, I am new to the forum and new to ducks! I just got my day old ducklings on Tuesday morning from Metzer and am having a lot of fun with them. A friend wanted ducks as well so he went in on the duck order with me. I ordered 6 and he ordered 6. The hatchery included an extra so now I have...
