Carbaryl use??
We’re having a terrible time with lice. I’ve tried DE; it didn’t do much. I’ve done a lot of reading on Sevin and get mixed answers so I have some questions! Is this the correct one? Has anyone used this before? I attached the active ingredients in both. -

Khaki Campbell sexes?
We took in two ducklings - I’m thinking Khaki Campbell’s or a mix of. They’re about 10 weeks now and we’re having a heck of a time sexing. Color wise they should both be girls. One is quacking (right), one is still peeping (left.) Thoughts? See my handiquack is in the background photobombing😊 -

We have a pekin that’s newly handicapped. She’s kept inside in a play pen so she has soft bedding. She’s not able to walk anymore but is able to get around her room and has 24/7 access to food and water. In the last 6 weeks she has lost 2 pounds. Her appetite is perfect, no change at all. Her... -

Rescue duckling

Weird blob?
I have a female mallard (I couldn’t find a duck page about laying issues) who has not laid in over a year. We thought she quit originally because it was starting to get cold, but she has yet to start again. They have oyster shell, plenty of food and bugs. Today she “laid” this. It’s not solid...- Cbutler

Evil Cayuga drake - help!
My drake has become increasingly more aggressive, he will chase the dogs and bite them, if I go near his enclosure he will charge the fence and bite if given the chance. He doesn’t peck, he clamps down drawing blood. He has a female mallard with him, that we got at the same time as him. She is... -

What’s wrong with my duck egg!? Picture attached
My female mallard has been laying for about 2 months now, she stopped about a week ago, I assumed it was due to the winter months and that she was done laying until it was not longer winter in her mind. However after a week of nothing, she laid this. It’s been 4 days, she hasn’t laid anything...
