Hey all
Sadly I have another sick duck. I fear this is something insidious that is going to slowly creep through my flock....
I have seen some dark dark dark greenish blackish poop here and there in my flock, and the occasional pea greenish tan, but nothing consistent. Everyone else is acting...
So, aside from my disabled duck Gollum, all of my other ducks were acting completely normal until yesterday when I saw my khaki panting. Today she is acting normally, but her belly is making really loud noises and I found GREEN poop in the run today. I am guessing it's from her. One of my rouens...
Updates: Well, I'm sad to say that my little Smeagol did not make it :hitI tried to do all I could for her, but I think she just hatched "wrong." She ended up passing last Wednesday overnight, after having been "fine" for her situation. I don't know what happened but I suspect her little heart...
I've seen this in the coop here and there, and most of the time when I see it, it's more of a chocolate syrup poop (from what I understand this is normal). Anyway, today I found poop that was syrupy and nearly BLACK. I mixed in some water to check the color of it, and there's no red in it at all...
Smeagol and Gollum have finished their course of antibiotics and I have seen no consistent results. I have NO idea what this could be. Gollum seems fine 99% of the time except for bouts of panting heavily. No other signs that anything is wrong. Smeagol on the other hand is a mess. I have no idea...
Hello everyone!
Well, Smeagol and Gollum are now about 5 or 6 weeks old approximately. The last I left off, Smeagol had some pretty labored breathing which was not getting better so I decided to give them oregano oil every day as a natural antibiotic. I did this for about 5 days with no...
Hey all!
I have recently taken in some "rescue" ducklings that are approximately 3-4 weeks of age. Today is my 4th day with them. When I got them from the person who rescued them, they were already severely deformed/crippled from what looks like niacin and/or riboflavin deficiency. They were...
I have 8 ducks of various breeds, all between 6 and 8 months old. I've noticed recently that one of my cayugas seems not to be eating much. a few days ago she had a giant frozen mass of poo stuck to her butt two days in a row (which I removed) and haven't seen since. They were only stuck to...
Hi everyone :)
I am happy to say that I am now (finally) a duck mom! I have been feeding all of my ducks organic and non-gmo feed from the beginning, but am curious to get other opinions on types of duck feed. I know there are better options than Dumor (even though it's organic) but I'm stumped...
