My 4 year old call duck is limping since I opened the coop this morning. She was perfectly fine last night, and now she can barely move around. I brought her in for an epsom salt soak already, and now she is separated from the other ducks. While in the bathtub she did not use the foot at all to...
My duck is suddenly having issues walking. We made an appointment at the avian vet a couple of weeks ago because she was making a weird sound from her stomach, kind of like crackling. The vet would not give medical advice over the phone and the earliest appointment we could get is still a couple...
I noticed around noon today that my call duck was making a crackling sound coming from her stomach. I figured she was just about to lay an egg or poop. But it is not 7pm and shes still making this strange noise. She is eating, drinking, swimming, and pooping as normal. It's just the weird sound...
I used to free-range my ducks but after dealing with predator attacks during the day time I decided to move my flock into a predator-proof pen now. I used 1/4 hardware cloth around the whole thing and built it on a concrete base (filled up with soil) so that nothing can dig underneath. Due to...

One of my ducklings is seeming to be having a lot of trouble. When he was hatching the mom threw him out of the nest but after a few hours I placed him back in the nest, he hatched just fine. He's clearly the runt though since he's so much smaller than the others. They're all only 3 days old...
A while ago I caught my white call duck Munchkin having what I thought was a seizure. After some research, I decided it was a niacin deficiency and she has been getting sunflowers seeds/spinach for that. But she still has been having this problem where all of a sudden she can't hold her head up...
