    Sick Duck: Won’t eat or walk

    Hello all! My 2 year old male Swedish duck seems to be sick. Two days ago, we found him laying next to our fence. I’m not sure if he got caught in it at all because he wasn’t bleeding and his wings, feet, etc looked normal. The day after, he was walking normally and eating normal. Starting...

    Summer heat with ducks

    Hello everyone! I live in Oregon and temperatures are going to be 108°+ this weekend. This is by far the hottest summer I’ve experienced here!

    Duck Run Flooring

    I’m new to owning ducks and am still trying to figure out the best flooring for my ducks. They are going to be kept on my side yard and will have plenty of space (10’x8’ or so). I’ve heard sand is an affordable and effective option for the duck run and would be great for drainage considering it...

    Duckling throwing up

    Today I noticed that one of my Swedish ducklings(3weeks old) threw up clear liquid. I moved my two ducklings outside two days ago. They have access to a heat lamp, water, and food. They have sand on the ground and eat it from time to time. The girl who is throwing up seems a little lethargic and...

    Neighborhood Cats Killing My Ducks?

    I’ve been planning on getting ducks for awhile now and am getting 2 Swedish ducklings in 2 weeks. I’ve done plenty of research and thought I had everything figured out until I told my neighbors(who moved out today) that I’m getting them. They were excited but sad that they wouldn’t get to meet...
