I wish I would have thought of this sooner. I have spent money on multiple harnesses only to have them not fit and unreturnable. So i tried to make some only to have even more dismay (uncooperative model that squirms and fights back) So last night, at some crazy hour, this idea popped into my...
My Dandy is an indian runner (supposedly not cross breed from large hatchery) I've noticed that she does not walk so upright like other indian runners, almost like a mallard even or pekin. Is there some exercise or something she's missing out on? Is she just lazy or what? I'm just curious since...
So when I took my dandy to the vet, I asked her about vaccines for ducks. She said they don't have them there, and that she could order them if I wanted, but it might be more cost efficient to try another place that already has them since places that keep em on hand get em in bulk so they...
Anyone near Montgomery, TX with an indoor duck (or just willing to watch my indoor duck)? We are going to California in late Oct, and my duck sitter has had to back out. She (Dandy, not the previous sitter I mean LOL) lives completely indoors, but has a diaper harness. I am happy to provide vet...
Anyone near Montgomery, TX with an indoor duck? We are going to California in late Oct, and my duck sitter has had to back out. She lives completely indoors, but has a diaper harness. I am happy to provide vet statement to show she is not harboring any diseases or infectious issues. She is super...
So my Dandy hatched 4/18/18. I've had many Indian runners, but they always spent some time outside and some time inside. Dandy is the first one I've had strictly inside. I have a box for her where she gets clean linens daily, but nothing resembling a nest. Will this affect her laying? Some of my...
OK, so I've always heard it's impossible for birds to hold poo. Soooo, this is what I believed for the last 15 years of owning a duck that can come inside. I found out otherwise yesterday at the vet. When she said "so you plan on diapers right, I don't recommend the house training, it can make...
OK So I took my Dandy to the vet yesterday. I was worried about her intermittent noisy breathing. (Not exactly wheezing, but audible) She said Dandy was fine, took some stool samples to get checked and said that general chick grower doesn't have enough protein. I needed to have her on specific...
OK, this is gonna be a lot, sorry in advance.
So I've had multiple sets of runner ducks, usually m/f pairs. This time I went with just a single female. She's about 4 months old, and so far NOT like my other ducks. 1. She HATES no LOATHES to be outside. If I put her out, she quacks at the door...
