    Meet Ann!

    We picked up a new female so that if Chips doesn't make it, Fish will have a new "sister". We had her in the pen in a large tub - she saw the girls and jumped/flew out and ran up the hill and jumped in the pool! She was so excited - not sure she has ever been in a pool before...Fish and Chips...

    Help! How to give pills

    We need to give Chips three pills every 12 hours. Last night I cut the larger ones in half and stuffed them into peas...I thought it went OK. This morning, Chips spit out at least 3 of the 4 1/2's of antibiotic, I assume I got the other in her since I didn't see it come out. Does anyone know a...

    ISO female duck in Colorado

    Hi; Chips is doing well - started on two meds (antibiotic and anti-inflammatory). The vet said she hopes we will see improvement within a couple days. Due to meds, no eating her eggs or her (was not an option for us anyway since pets). Anyway, if anyone here is in CO (w/i an hour or so of...

    duck breathing through mouth and quack is high pitched

    Chips - our 4 month old Cayuga started breathing through her bill today and her quack is not normal - she sounds high pitched and horse. Her nostrils are clear. She is in the pool most of the day so plenty of water to clear her nostrils. I've searched and didn't see anything similar, but will...

    leave ducks out at night or in their coop?

    We have a very secure duck run - photo attached. Every evening we heard the ducks (one Pekin, one Cayuga - my daughter's pets) into their coop, give them treats and shut the door. I think the girls would prefer to stay out in the run all night - they float in their "pool" most all day and some...

    The duck run is finally done!

    We finished - I think it looks pretty good considering we had no clue what we were doing! The girls went out today for the first time and seem to like it...but a bit nervous. Fish still has her baby socks on since treating her feet. The pond is not in as of yet, waiting for Fish's feet to...

    Bumblefoot on Pekin - 7 weeks old

    Hello; We have read some previous postings, but want to be sure we treat this correctly (new to raising ducks). If there is another link I should look at please let me know. We have one 7 week old Pekin and one 7 week old Cayuga. The Pekin is limping and we looked at the underside of her...

    Building Duck Run...very confused

    Hello! We have two ducklings that will need to move outside to their new coop and run in a few weeks. We purchased a coop and want to build the enclosure around it. We are building it next to an existing shed (not attached), but it should help in the winter with the blowing snow (we live south...

    Duckling eye infection?

    Hello; New member here. We received two ducklings yesterday from CA - one Pekin and one Cayuga. The Cayuga seems to have an eye infection or damage? I am looking for a vet, but wanted to see if anyone here has any thoughts. I have attached a couple photos below - tough to get a good one in...
