    Duck with broken femur! Advice needed! Help!

    Sadly my duck Emmy (she's 3) took a tumble and broke her left leg/femer. The vet said I might be able to find a local vet to put a pin in her leg or the other option is amputation. I know birds have a hard time going under for surgery. I'm hoping her leg can be fixed, but is it too risky? Should...

It says it needs to be used within 24 hours, however its sealed, and I never put anything into the bottle. I poured what I needed out, filled my...

    Duck pooped egg yolk out

    So I've attached a few photos of what appears to egg white and yolk. No shells. I have 3 girls that could be the culprits but I cant figure put which on because they are all acting 100% normal.

    Hey all! My 8 month old cayuga girl, Emmy, sprained her ankle coming out of the pool the other day. I have her quarantined from the other 4 (one is a drake, and he got one thing on his mind, which is not good for sprains) and I have been soaking her in an epsom salt bath. I have read that baby...

    Duck open and closes mouth while swimming

    So all and all my 7 month old is 100% healthy. However whenever she takes a bath she'll open and close her mouth a bunch. Maybe shes just excited? Shes always done this but I just want to know the reason why. Not too concerned about her health as she is sassy as heck.

    Dehydrating wet feed

    Hey all! With the freezing cold this past week the duck crumble will freeze up as they eat and drink. This has caused a lot of wet food and I'm going through a ton if it! I had a thought about putting the wet feed in the oven at its lowest temp (170° I think) and drying it out. Will this harm...

    New ducklings coming in the mail!

    Hi all! I have 2 new ducklings on the way from Metzer Farms. They'll be in on Wednesday. I lost my favorite buff duck, Luna, to a hawk earlier this month, so automatically when you loose 1 you gain 2 (duck math is a real thing)! After buckling down on our yard we decided to get another Buff and...

    Ducklings breed identification

    Hey all! These little guys are about 4 weeks of age. I think they are khaki campbells, but they also could be runners. One has a pink tip to its bill and the other has a dark brown (nearly black) tip to its bill.
