Video provided below. I bought 3 ducklings last week and had a pretty bad event happen. I've had a lot of ducklings in the past 8 years so I was doing everything normal and how I've always done them no problems in 8 years. I always keep my babies in a brooder in the laundry room. What I didn't...
I've got a duckling who is almost fully feathered who has trouble walking and a pale beak. Video below. She also doesn't stretch her neck out. She hasn't gotten as large as her partner I got with her and her feathers took a lot longer to come in on her stomach. I got her on Valentine's Day. It's...

I was outside today sitting with my ducks just relaxing and enjoying watching them when I saw my 2 year old Black Swedish Smokey struggling in her kiddie pool. At first I thought she was having a seizure and I was afraid she would drown so I picked her up and put her on the ground. She was limp...
