    Got a sick duck

    I have a 6yrs old Rouen who has been sick for a few weeks now. She’s been bouncing back and forth between being real tired and acting fine. Unfortunately, she also has diarrhea and it’s turned her vent into a high powered ass cannon. The frequency of her squirts is irritating her entire backend...

    Looking for opinions on how to build some duck pens

    Was wondering if you guys could help point me in the right direction. I need to build a few pens on the lawn for 32 ducks to have safe grass time without getting murdered by bobcats. These will just be day pens to shoo them into, not attached to their coops. But the more i Google the more i...

    Vent-bitting duck

    I got a duck biting the vents of the other girls. She waits until they’re being mounted to run over and bite the inner tissues. Sometimes she’ll come up behind an unsuspecting girl and goose her. I thought maybe she was doing it due to stress or boredom from being inside more often during...

    Question about the chocolate gene

    Indian Runner drakes in NW Connecticut

    My Runner girl wanted to be a Runner mama and now i have too many boys and nowhere to put them long term. Their coop was supposed to be built weeks ago and it’s just not happening.

    Wry neck caused by mold

    Will my duckling survive this? My Pekin went broody and didnt do a great job with the eggs. I ended up with 2 under a heat lamp due to being broken (the third she broke and kicked outa the nest when it started hatching. Never letting Pekins try this again >.<). Both inside ducklings i had to...

    Bumblefoot help

    A couple weeks ago my Runner girl’s toe swelled up, both top and bottom, and looking her over I found a very tiny cut on the bottom of her foot. I brought her inside to help keep her clean and more easily monitor her while I read up on treatment. She’s been getting almost daily baths to soften...

    Aftercare for recovered prolapse

    My big Pekin girl had a prolapse last week. She’s been living in my bedroom with a friend while i keep her lubed up. Today her scab is finally gone and her vent is almost completely sucked back in, just a little puffy. I’ve had her set up in the dark in a covered dogcrate so she wouldnt lay...

    Mating age and separation anxiety

    I got 6 Blue Indian Runners who’re about 12.5weeks old. And today i finally got confirmation of 1 girl to 5 boys. I also have 18 other ducks who’re only about 5.5weeks. Both groups live in separate coops and are separated by fence in the yard so the Runners dont beat them up. So my first...

    When do ducklings chill?

    This is my first year raising ducks and due to reasons i’ve been sharing my bedroom with them. 7 weeks with 6 Blue Indian Runners was a dream compared to the new 18 i’m brooding (Pekin, Rouen, Blue Swedish). All night they stampede across my bedroom! Not even exaggerating on how much noise they...
