Hi friends,
I have come here to seek some advice or knowledge around the migratory bird act and what it really means.
I am in several Facebook duck groups mostly to help others with issues and a very common occurrence seems to be domestic ducks being dumped into public places. Now, a few...
Hello all!
Been a while but I figured I'd show off some pictures of my duckies new home. Not fully complete..want to add a misting or sprinkler system with some fans, outside lighting, and a safe place down the ramp they can roam and eat grass.
Hey
Question about flooring for our duck coop. It's not very big but it's good for our 4 ducks, we have insulation on the bottom to help with winter months. Only problem is one of them seems to eat it(doesn't seem to be a problem so far but it's not ideal) water soaks under and it can become a...
Hey helping a friend here.
She has an issue with one of her muscoviees who has been wobbling and unable to walk or eat for the past 6 days now. She left her alone for the first 4 days because she suspected botulism and let it take its course, upon no signs of recovery we tried to do a molasses...
Hey y'all.
We have a girl we were told she was hatched on May 7. She's HUGE. She just started head bobbing out drake so we now allow them to be outside together. During swim time she makes it very known she's ready to get it on, LOL.
Our question is since she hasn't laid her first egg yet and...
Hey y'all!
My girls butt looks funny. We are pretty sure she's getting ready to lay.. its been a couple of hours like this. We are not 100% certain and if anyone has seen this before we love your input!
Hey! I am looking to help a person on Facebook who has pretty much exhausted all options for her little friend.
Here is a link to the video for the poor guy.

What I know so far is she has...
With the lose of our Black Sweed Nana and an adopted Rouen we had for 1 hour named Xena we decided to get two babies in honor of them.
Meet Remy (Rouen) and Zoey.
Not too sure a out their sleeping positions though lol
Our baby Coco we adopted has signs of bumblefoot and a minor limp on and off. 1 lump on her left side and two on the right.
We decided to treat her today. Used Epsom salt, in warm water for almost 10 minutes. Treated with Iodine and let it dry. Then applied a topical cream to a gauze for anti...
Hey guys.
We recently noticed our babies nails. The middle ones are going crooked?!
Has anyone seen this before or have any idea what or why this is happening?

Hey guys,
Looking to save this sweetheart. She was attacked by a racoon but is currently acting normal, eating drinking, pooping fine.
I'm looking for advice to save her only and any recommendations on how to get this done. We already have some antibiotics and inflammation/pain meds on hand...
Hey,
As some of you have read some of our posts NaNa has been through a lot. Her foreign removal surgery, then a hernia surgery a month later and she fought through it all.
Unfortunately, her stomach would not stay in place. Today we had to say goodbye to our very first duck baby. It has been...
Hey,
Recently added a new duck to our home. We noticed she seems to be balding on the back of her head/neck. Anything we can do for her or will it just grow back naturally?
Thanks!
Meet Coco and Lola. Coco is about 7 months old now, and we got her to spend time outside with our drake and one other female who are black sweedish. Coco is a chocolate Ancona, who I thought were a bigger breed. However, I wouldn't say she's half the size of my others but she's very noticeably...
Hey Friends !
My girl hasn't layed in a while and we can feel 2 eggs inside her. She is pooping and eating fine. Is this normal?! Her sister is recovering from surgery and has been separated for over a week. We're not sure if stress can cause laying problems and build ups like this ?! Has anyone...
Hey guys. My duck needs surgery, she has a ton of metal inside her tummy from digging... the other 2 still need to be checked. Looking for help.
Has anyone had surgery done on their duck? Has anyone had their duck live with metal inside them? Our vet said she definitely needs surgery.
Hi!! We have our first Drake, black swedish, we rescued him when he was about 6 weeks. He's about 41/2 months old right now and he's crazy, lol. He's more hyper than our females, more chatty and loves attention from me and Joe! Just curious if the males are usually more outgoing than females !
Hello!
My girlfriend is considering rescuing a 6-8 week old black swedish drake. We already have two females (black swedish) that are 7 months old.
I'm looking for any advice from people who are more experienced, we are still learning and don't want to do anything that would harm our babies...
First time poster here! Avid reader over the past 2 months though.
I am curious what is the general consensus on wood shavings/pine shavings for my ducks. My girlfriend has been reading all over and has heard the horror stories of ducks unfortunately dying from eating them. Is this only a...
