Ducks with wet feather
I was going to post an update on my duck that I adopted, but they got into motor oil so I was so worried that they would get sick from it. They seem fine, but now their feathers aren’t waterproof anymore! They just dunked their heads in and I had to clean them off with soap. I dried them off...- Zolamarie

New duck update
Hi guys! I know it’s been foreever since I last posted about my new duck, Jack. I’ve had him about three months now! When I first got him, he was skinny, filthy, and has wet feather.

SICK duck
Hey everybody. This morning I noticed two black poops in my duck run. I checked peggy and she had a little black poo around her vent, so I know it was her. She wont eat her pellets, but ate some scratch grains, dandelion, and tomatoes. But she won’t drink much at all. I don’t know what to do. I...- Zolamarie

New duck update
Hi guys... sorry I have been quiet since my last post. If y’all saw my last post, then you know about my new duck, Jack. I never took him to the vet(which I feel terrible about) because the vet was on vacation, and then my vet switched work days to day that I’m always super busy. I had an... -
New duck update
Yesterday I adopted a duck. I posted about it last night. He doesn’t look like he’s in the best shape(poor baby) and he was terrified of me yesterday. It’s clear he isn’t used to be handled. He is not quite as scared of me today, but still doesn’t trust me yet. I know it’ll take some time... -
Adopted duck
About a month ago one of my ducks got killed by a fox. Today I finally bought a duck from a farm. I am keeping him separated from my duck, Peggy until I get him checked out by a vet. He is sooo skinny, and scraggly and I think he has Bumblefoot. Also he is really dirty. I tried getting him in... -
Building a small duck run
Yesterday I started building a predator proof duck run. It’s about 6x7. It’s only two feet high, so the top will be able to open up on either side. I have no building experience so I tried to make it as simple as possible. Here’s some pictures of what it looks like now. The fence is all the...- Zolamarie

Lonely Pekin Duck

Pekin ducks fighting
I have two pekin ducks. Peggy I’m sure is a female, and Gus a male. They’ve been together all their life and have always been ok with each other. They are now about 9 months old. A few weeks ago, they have started fighting. At first it was Peggy who would start it and Gus would literally run... -
