Well, in the past three days, I've lost two ducklings. Today, Inky had a heart attack and died. There was nothing anyone could do. This evening, my harlequin started sticking one wing straight out. It's very strange. I don't get what she's doing. She's only 3 weeks old. Barely started...
Last night, while I was in a concert, Tucker managed to flip his food bowl with him inside. He got stuck and suffocated. While this is sad, I'm concerned about the health of my other ducks. I have five females, who will all be three weeks old on Monday. Even though only a little time has passed...
Well, I recently bought 6 ducklings. As of Monday they are a week old. Two of my ducklings are having issues.
The first is my Cayuga, and her issue is slightly more pressing. When she stands still, she seems to put one leg out to the side a bit more, and then lean on her closer leg. I've only...
Well, I got some new ducklings! I'm both happy and sad. I wish I could have waited longer, because I feel terrible about my old ducks... but I'm so happy to have ducks running around again! I have six this time. Each is a different breed. I'll post some pictures.
This morning was absolutely horrible. When I went to take care of my birds this morning, I discovered that they'd all been killed by a large dog that had gotten into our garage. Sadly, all three of my ducks, my two chickens, and one of my two rabbits had been killed when I got in there. I did...
Hello!
In September, I got my three duck babies. In the time since I got them, one of my friends has gotten really attached. He hasn't ever had a pet before, but his dad is considering letting have a duck (he's met mine, he knows how messy they are.) I'd like to help him get one, but I was...
Hi!
I have 3 ducks, and they are all supposed to be hens, but I'm worried my chocolate runner might be male. These are my first ducks and it's not that big of a deal if she is male, but I don't want ducklings, so if I need to seperate them, I'd like to know sooner rather than later. She was...
Hello! I'm 14 and female. I live in Idaho. I have 2 chicks, that are 4 weeks old. A leghorn, and a Cochin. They are both female. I also have three ducks. Puff, a white crested, Peeta, and Indian Runner, and Gemima, a black Swedish. They are all four weeks old at the time of this post. I like...
I just got my first ducklings four weeks ago. I got an Indian runner, a white crested, and a black Swedish. I don't plan on eating any of them, they are just my little buddies, but my black Swedish is significantly smaller than the other two. She gets cold very easily, she gets pushed around...
