Female runner duck has a vent prolapse, need some advice please!
I’ve just noticed my female Indian runner duck has a vent prolapse, it’s not all hanging out there’s just a small amount of pink flesh poking out. What should I do for her? I’ve heard so many horror stories about this I just want her to be ok!- Gemduckmum

Female duck off colour - problem with laying?
Every day for the last week we’ve had 1 or 2 eggs from my 4 females. They are different in shape and colour and we have 2 runners and 2 khaki Campbells so I’m assuming one or both of each variety are laying alternately. Today I noticed one of my khakis is off colour, she stays at the back of the...- Gemduckmum

Prolapsed penis?
I’ve just noticed my drake’s penis is hanging out slightly after mating, I noticed it maybe 15 minutes ago and it hasn’t gone back in yet. Should I be worried? How long does it usually take to retract and what’s the best thing to do if it is a prolapse?- Gemduckmum

Wild baby ducks
Hi guys, can anyone set my mind at rest? Today I saw a baby mallard on a roundabout so naturally I stopped all the traffic and shepherded it to the stream nearby. It couldn’t fly as it just ran and flapped away from me as I ‘shooshed’ it out of the road, it had adult feathers and a blue spot on...- Gemduckmum

Do ducks get cold at night?
This evening we put our 5 ducks in their outdoor house. They have deep straw bedding and a shelf to sit on or a sheltered area underneath to sleep in. The house has cut out windows which have been securely meshed. It’s going to be 12 degrees Celsius (54 Fahrenheit) tonight and I’m worried that...- Gemduckmum

Where to buy immediate release niacin in the uk?
I’m really struggling to find immediate release niacin. I bought some from Holland and Barrett but I think they’re the timed release type, can I still give my ducks that? I’ve noticed one of my runners has developed shaky legs sometimes so I’m putting brewers yeast on their food but I’d like to...- Gemduckmum

Ducklings have quite a lot of clear fluid coming from nose and mouth. Is this normal?
Today 2 of my 5 ducklings spat/snorted quite a bit of fluid (I couldn’t quite see where it came from) when I picked them up to clean out the pen. That’s the only time I’ve noticed anything like that. Then I put the ducks back and the same two did it again but this time I saw it come from the...- Gemduckmum

3 week old duckling itching beak and sneezing! Please help!
My 3-4 week old runner duckling, Waldo, has been itching around his beak a lot since I got him 5 days ago. Recently he has started sneezing more but I don’t think there is any discharge around his nose.
