    Runners lost quack, respiratory issue

    Hey there, Hoping some of you may have an idea of what's going on here. Two of my adult runners came down with some sort of ailment. I only have 2 runners so these are the only 2 in the flock affected out of a flock of 6 ducks total. What we noticed is that both ducks are struggling to quack...

    Anyone have pekin duck tail feathers to share?

    Hello, I have an interesting request. I recently had one of my ducks pass and am having him mounted but he has a bit of rough tail feathers. Unfortunately all of my pekins have rough tail feathers, so I wanted to see if, while molting season comes through, any of you would have tail feathers I...

    The same old problem: pekin duck struggling to walk

    Hi there, Me again, with the pekin ducks that mysteriously cannot walk. My two year old girl is now struggling to walk. She started about a year ago with a limp and after visit to the vet, xrays saying she's perfectly fine, and carprofen that did nothing, she's gradually gotten worse. Now she...

    What is going on with my pekin ducks?

    Hey there, I've plagued this forum before with my particular duck problems, because I've had a rough go of it with my pekins. I'm just not sure what's going on or what to do. Here's a recap: April, 2020: pick up 2 ducklings from TSC, Fluff and Quasi. Quasi suffers from wry neck early on, but...

    I made a children's book about my ducks!

    Hi all! Wanted to show you all my DUCK BOOK! Whenever I post about my ducks to non-duck owners, they always love the shenanigans that my ducks get up to... Someone suggested to make a book about them, and I thought, why not? Fluff's daily adventures are pretty standard for a duck, but still are...

    Why won't my ducks stop YELLING?

    Hey all, I don't know what to do here, so I'm hoping someone can give me some ideas. I bought 4 new ducklings this year in early April who are now out with my other ducks in their caged in run. The problem is, most of the "babies" keep screaming all the time. Every 2 minutes or so I hear the...

    Supplemental care for duck with joint infection

    Hey there, My boy Cole, who came to me from the MSPCA, has a purported joint infection. He limps around and lifts his foot mostly off of the ground. The MSPCA tried to treat with clavamox and meloxicam, which didn't work. My vet tried the same, but for longer, which had the same result. On...

    Duck with heart arrhythmia?

    Hey all, So I took one of my Pekin boys in for a limp, and the doctor said she noticed he has a heart arrhythmia. She wanted to refer me out to a specialist, which is obviously $$$. I'm wondering if anyone has an experience with this and what I should know. Should I look into the specialist...

    Duck behavior: Is my Khaki Campbell quacking up?

    Hello all! I've noticed a peculiar behavior recently by my khaki campbell hen. Sometimes she will just stand in the middle of their run and quack VERY LOUDLY and repeatedly for hours. All of the other ducks surround her, standing straight, when she does this and just look at her. Now, I've...

    Is it normal for a male Pekin to sleep head down?

    Hey there, After the passing of my little drake Quasi, we adopted a drake named Cole from the local rescue. Apparently they've been having a lot of surrenders because people bought cute ducklings at TSC during quarantine and didn't realize how big and poopy they get. 🙄 Anyway, we had room for...

    What the heck is wrong with my Pekin?

    To make a long story short, we grabbed two ducklings in April, one of which has been nothing but sickly. We rehabbed him from niacin deficiency, to limber neck, and have been treating him with multiple antibiotics after visiting a vet multiple times for an eye/upper respiratory infection that we...

    Options for coop trays

    Recently one of our duck coops ended up with a rusty hole in the removable metal tray at the bottom (and our girl ended up eating some of it, she's in treatment right now, she'll be OK I think). Obviously I do not want this to happen again, but I feel like maybe metal isn't the best solution for...
