Hey everyone. I have been dealing with this for a few weeks and I feel like it is getting worse. My jumbo Pekin has a lot of swelling on top of this foot/leg and was wondering what to do! I feel like it’s turning green now! So take a look and see what you think. It’s definitly not bumble foot.
I have been trying to find a recipe that people use to feed their ducks. I am sick of buying bags of food from the store. I feel that the bags of feed near me are way too expensive and I'd rather my ducks eat fresh food daily. Anyone have any recipes they use? I have been looking online and I've...
I read around a bit before posting. She usually has a very high pitch annoying quack all day. Now she has a very quiet quack all of the sudden this morning. 1st things first, she is 100% a female. I read that this happens to males but I know for sure she is a female. She is drinking and eating...
My girl was attacked this morning. I heard the animals freaking out but they are usually noisy in the morning so I thought nothing of it. Than it started to get excessive so I looked out the window and saw a huge cyote! I ran outside and scared it away but noticed one of my ducks were missing. I...
My girl pekin has some egg shaped like thing hanging from her butt. I thought maybe it was an egg so i gently pulled at it but it would not come out. It has veins in it so i thought maybe an organ!? Anyone had this problem before? it also looks like she is trying to push it out or something...
So my female mallard and our boy blue swedish duck hatched babies! It is a very weird combination but here is the 7 babies that hatched, They are about a month old now! Almost as big as their mama! <<<<<< HE IS BROWN AND WHITE
<<<<<<<<<THIS IS THE DAD
<<<<<< 3 BLACK AND WHITE BABIES...
So my female mallard just hatched 7 baby ducklings. One of my male blue swedish picked up one of the babies and shook it around and i ran outside to stop it. I picked up the baby and he looked like he was dying. Breathing very hard and falling asleep. I really thought he was dead. I brought the...
Looks like a blood blister on my ducks bill. One of my other ducks might have bit him. Will it just go away? Looks like this: THIS IS NOT MY DUCK*** just found it online because it looks like what my duck has
This has been a problem for a little bit now with my ducks beak. This "skin" is overgrowing on his beak and it has been getting bigger. It is getting closer to his nostrils so i am getting worried it will continue to grow over them. It started off as a small over growth and now it is on both...
ok so this is going to sound a little strange but my male pekin duck thinks he is a chicken... so i have ruled out that he is fighting over females because he DOES NOT like ducks. So my 1 year old male mallard and my 4 year old male pekin have been getting into it the past couple of days and it...
So the last couple of days, my female Mallard as been walking around weird like. She sticks her neck out and just walks/runs around. This is a constant thing. Not sure why. I will try and get a video up of her doing it. If anyone has any clue of what i am talking about. Inform me! lol
So my duck has bumble foot and this is what i have done so far...
My mother is a nurse so she helped me do a couple of things to treat this. We did not want to do a full surgery so this is what we did:
we cut the scab off and now i see a circular white hard thing in her foot. It will not come...
Yesterday i noticed that my pekin duck had a small limp. I checked to see if there was anything stuck in her foot but did not see anything. By the end of the night, she would not stand on it and laid down most of the day. She is eating fine. This morning she is the same, mostly laying down, I...
Hi! So one of our mallard duck had two babies this morning. We brought them inside with the mother because our chickens were pecking at the babies and hurting them. We have a chicken coop thing outside that has a door on it that i can close up and put the ducklings and mother in so the chickens...
Ok so we have 9 ducks. We have 5 girls and 4 boys. We recently got a boy pekin duck from my boyfriends work because he was going to be food so we took him home. The duck has NEVER met other ducks in his life. He has only been around chickens so he pretty much thinks he is a chicken. The first...
Today when i had left, my boyfriends mother told me she found one of my chickens laying in the grass. She could barely stand and was laying kind of on her side. I brought her inside and now she is painting hard and she lifts one leg up and won't stand on it at all. We felt around her leg VERY...
I have 3 mallards (1 male and 2 females), A male magpie, a male blue sweedish, a female black sweedish, and two baby pekin ducks. I got all my others when it was winter so i didnt have to worry about rain when they were little. Now that i have two baby pekin's and it is raining like everyday, i...
He is about a month and a half old and i just realized that when i pet him on the head he shakes. Is this normal or what? I have another baby and they are brothers and he doesn't do the same. He is not cold or anything. Is he scared or something? He just kind of lays there and shakes when i pet...
I just got my new baby pekin duck today and i didn't see until now what is on his neck! I have no clue what it is and i'm scared. I already own 3 mallards, a blue and black sweedish and a magpie duck and have never seen this. Help!!!! it kind of bulges very little.
