    Respiratory problems

    Hey guys, long time no see! My drake is having a hard time breathing since he started molting. He's lost energy, and hasn't grown his feathers back yet, but is still eating and drinking.

    Did she quit laying?

    Our year old Khaki was laying up a storm until we brought the new baby home, and now we simply cannot find any eggs.

    Surprise Nest!

    Hi all! My wife and I just discovered our Khaki has a secret nest under the hostas. I've read about this happening, but really don't know what to do about it. We don't have the setup to have a whole clutch of ducklings at the moment, but I've read that if you take away all of a duck's eggs...

    Does fish affect egg taste?

    Hey all! I've been buying shad minnows to throw in our kiddie pool for the last couple weeks. They eat mosquito larvae before getting eaten by our ducks, and the ducks have fun chasing them. My wife said she read that feeding your ducks fish will make the eggs taste fishy. Our ducks haven't...
