Fox Attack, lone survivor
Looking for some urgent advice please. Absolutely devastated that 2 out of my 3 ducks have been killed by what appears to be a fox. Rosie was already sleeping when I went to them this morning, and Jasper was too poorly to be saved and the vet put her to sleep. Lily has a small injury but was... -
Would a drake calm noisy hens?
So my 3 White Campbell girls are driving my partner mad. They are back yard duckies, I love them dearly, but my fella is after their blood at the moment! They are incredibly noisy at times. I always make sure they have fresh water, access to feed, grit, a pond, and I hang up greens for them to... -
Wet feather
One of my girls is behaving strangely. It's been really wet here in England and I'm worried she might have wet feather. She was excessively preening when I got home from work, so I brought her in and she was soaked. I've given her a warm bath and she's in my bathroom keeping warm for the night... -
Is this bumblefoot?
Noticed my girl Lily limping today, checked her leg for obvious injuries, it all feels ok and not hot to touch, but found this on the underside of her foot, does it look like bumblefoot? She's only just started today so think it could be the early stages of it? -

My duck pen looks like Glastonbury...

Please help :'(
I posted yesterday about my ducks coughing, since then one of my girls has gone rapidly downhill. I took her to the vet who prescribed baytril (2.5) for all 3. Rosie who is in a bad way, was breathing badly last night and wouldn't eat or drink. After her first dose of antibiotics, she perked up... -
Ducks coughing - advice please?
So my 3 White Campbell's have just turned 5 months old, and have just started laying in the last week or so. Last week I was on holiday, so they stayed with a chicken / duck boarding place for a week where they had their own separate pen. Since I've come home, I've noticed all 3 have developed a... -
Urgent Advice please - duckling feed
I have 3 nearly 3 week old White Campbell Ducklings. They are all eating well and growing rapidly, have clear eyes and are making lovely pets. For a few days my drake has been sort of scooting around on his hocks if you will, rather than standing up and walking properly. At first I was worried... -
New to ducks, looking for advice :)
Hello everyone, I'm Rach, I live in the UK, I'm hoping to be a duck mum soon, and have been spending a lot of time reading and researching about their care. My partner and I have decided Campbells would be the most suitable breed for us in our garden. I wondered if I could get a bit of advice on...
