    Check your ducks feet!!

    This is your formal reminder to check your ducks feet, even if they aren’t acting weird!! All of my ducks were walking completely the same, no limping, no weird behavior, no lethargy. I only discovered their bumblefoot upon seeing it while they were swimming. This is pretty severe, and they...

    Lethargic hen, white and green poop (picture warning)

    My poor hen big mama has not been herself since yesterday. Yesterday she was sitting sort of randomly in the middle of the yard, but I didn’t assume anything seeing as it’s been around 97 degrees here everyday, and she is 7 years old so I thought possibly she was just really hot (she has full...

    Ducks afraid of chickens (what to do?)

    We recently finished building our chickens new coop, (the “coop mahal” as my dad calls it), and decided we should move our ducks into the same area as the chickens, seeing as they just became fully grown. We have a bantam rooster, and 8 hens (4 more coming in march!!). Our 5 ducks, all girls...

    What’s wrong with my ducks bill? *PICTURES*

Not sure how old they were when we got them. We socialized with them and held them a lot when...
