    Lump on Duck's face

    Somewhat urgent? My Cayuga female seems to have a bump on the underside of her face. All my other ducks I can feel the two sides of their skull along with a tendon in between, easily felt and defined. With Daffy, its not as defined and there seems to be a lump between the left side of her...

    Swollen hock joint, HELP???

    Hi, My Pekin Buster's hock joint is swollen and she is limping a lot. What do i do? The earliest the vet can see her is next Friday or the Monday after but it's all during the day and I'm a teacher so i can't just take time off... And the emergency fee is insane. I don't want to have to pay...

    Bumblefoot treatments!... duck is limping!

    Hi, One of my girls has a bad bumble on her foot. It looks about hte size of a small marble and is warm to touch. I started epsom salt soaks on March 1 for 10-15 min once a day (i'm the only one who can do it and I work 7-5) but it looks worse. She just started limping tonight and keeps...

    Symptoms of impacted crop?

    One of my Pekin's stole a fairly big chunk of melon from me before I could break it into pieces and I believe she swallowed it whole or partially split. I'm worried about an impacted crop, since when I have seen her poop it's only small chunks or liquid. I could just be overreacting, but I...

    Where to buy Ancona and Saxony ducklings

    Hi! I have 4 lady Pekins and am looking to expand my flock by adding 1 Ancona and 1 Saxony ducklings (ideally) but have no idea where to buy them. I adopted the Pekins so not sure where to buy. We don't have a lot of land or I would have infinitely more ducks but we can definitely take in 2...

    Is my duck egg bound?

    One of my 4 Pekin ladies has been acting odd lately. Two days ago there were strong winds and when I let the ducks out of the coop, she came flying out and squawking as if afraid of something. Typically she's the loudest but its more of a "scolding" than anything when I get close to the group...

    Are ducks more lethargic during the winter???

    My ducks typically scream/squawk early in the morning after laying their eggs and want to get out of their enclosure for the day and usually during the day they are active, poking around in the dirt and grass, napping for a couple hours. For the last week or so with the colder weather (I live...

    Torn webbing. HELP!

    One of my Pekin girls has torn webbing. It's just happened maybe an eighth of an inch, not too serious, though the edge has turned pink instead of the normal orange. During the night, they live in a pen with a coop, the chicken wire is on the outside so they dont get caught on the sharp ends...

    Duck bills changing color

    I've noticed that 2 of my 4 lady Pekins have paler bills than before, mostly on the very tip. I've read this is because they are laying. Is there anyway to help them replenish the pigment for their bills?

    4 eggs, 4 ducks....do I not have a male?

    I have 4 Pekins, and we have been getting eggs daily since October 30 (2015). They are, as of today, 6 months old. No drake feathers, but one of my babies peeps/quacks and tries to mate (or simulates mating?) with one of the other ducks. All the other ducks are LOUD. But we have been getting...

    Eggs being laid! Need advice

    Hi, 4 Pekin's and from my reading, it seems like the freckled bills are the females, maybe my sources are wrong. But we know we have at least 1 male because nature keeps calling..... We found our first egg today, they are 5 months old this week. Now that one of them has started laying, and...

    Possible Bumblefoot, what do i do???

    I have 4 Pekins that are 5 months old. We recently started letting them free from our backyard pen now that our human pool is covered, so they can roam the backyard. Part of it is cement which is probably the culprit and we will take necessary precautions but I noticed that the pads of their...

    newbie here

    Hi, I am the proud mama of 4 Pekin ducks. They are 3 months old and we still have no idea if they are female or male but we've named them anyway: Pearl, Rosemary, Buster and Squishy. We've had chickens before but that was 10 years ago. Now we have the ducks! Looking forward to gleaning...

    Injured Ducks, looks bad! :(

    New to this site in terms of posting but have read many helpful threads. I have 4 3-month old Pekin ducks, we keep them in a pen with an accessible coop on the inside. No predators have been seen and I doubt they can get in, I"ve checked several times. But several times now I have come home...
