    Prolapsed duck penis

    I just noticed this today, unfortunately late as it’s already turning black, I had dealt with this in him before a couple years ago but was able to deal with it as I caught it early, this time I’m not sure how long it’s been out for or what I can do? A vet is not an option as I don’t have the funds

    Bone or feather?

    One of my baby chicks was severely pecked by the rest of the chicks and while I thought it was bone at first and was going to put it down, some are telling me it’s just a blood feather, so I don’t want to put it down if it has a fighting chance. It’s eating and drinking and running around and...

    Chickens dropping dead

    Yesterday we woke up to one of our hens in the corner of the coop dead, she was only 2, she was almost convulsing like but fully dead (head down and legs kicking slightly when you picked her up, which I’m not sure is a part of what this is or likely with all deaths in general) This morning, we...

    Mallard or Rouen duckling?

    I was wondering if there’s any way to tell the difference between a Rouen and Mallard duckling? I picked up one from TSC a few days ago and can’t exactly figure it out which it is myself!

    Is this safe?

    We ordered this for our ducks as a swimming pool, only to just now read about Zinc Poisoning and Hardware Disease. Is this safe for them to swim in and drink out of or not?
