Hola familia! Miss me? I sure missed y'all!
Quackers has been doing fine by the way. She has been doing great actually, until last week that is. The soft shelled eggs have returned. She is eating DuMor poultry layer, oyster shells, and her prescribed B3, calcium, and phosphate...
Hey guys! Sorry it has been so long since I was last on here. The last time I was here was when Quackers had EYP, but luckily she pulled through. Thanks to you guys, she is now healthy and happy again. I can't thank you enough for all of the wonderful help you gave me. Anyways, I wanted to...

Guys, I am so terrified!!!
Last week Quackers stopped laying eggs (about a week after the first soft egg so I started feeding her a lot of oyster shells for calcium). She had been laying for almost a year so I figured she was just off-season. I can't really explain it but lately she has...
My 1 year 3 month old black Swedish duck Quackers has been laying eggs for exactly 10 months (as of today) straight with no breaks. She has molted since but still hasn't stopped.
Last night she did not lay an egg in her nest or any where else in her cage as she always has. I thought that...
Hey again guys!!! Quackers feet healed up great and she is doing awesome now!
But I was bored and looked up how long ducks her size live and I heard somewhere that if they lay too many eggs that they might have a shorter life span. She has been laying 9 1/2 months straight since she laid the...
Hey again guys!!! I'm back! If you read my last post (and saw the pictures on it) you will notice that all of the sores on this (left) foot have healed... This picture was taken after tonight's E.S. (Epsom Salt) water foot bath and you can see that compared to the last picture (on my last...
Hey guys, sorry I haven't been on lately. But I was walking outside with Quackers about 4 days ago and I noticed she was limping!!! I thought maybe she got a sticker or something so I didn't really think about it that much. when she was limping the second day as well I started to worry and I...
We boxed 1/3 of her cage off with wood and put her heat lamp in it with some hay and that's her nest.
But she keep changing her mind on where she wants her nest to be and she lays eggs in one spot today and another tomarrow.
She used to only lay in her nest and now she either lays there, next to...

First you take the first letter of the username of the person above you. Ex: PetDuck = P
Then you take the last letter of the animal the person above you states. Ex: Horse = E
Then take the "P" and state an adjective (describing word). Ex: P = Purple
Then take the "E"...
