My Molly shown in the photo lived 14 1/2 years and she passed away on January 4th of this year.
I have not been able to deal with this loss - time doesn't seem to matter. I don't know what to do.
I suffer 24/7 and can't seem to accept that she's gone.
She was born on July 18th, 2010...
I live in Central, MO and there's a hatchery in IA, about 280 miles away. I would like to buy 2 female Mallard ducklings from them and am willing to make the drive to get them since I don't want the Post Office involved, but I don't know if I can trust a hatchery to provide healthy babies.

My sweet angel from heaven passed away after a pretty rapid decline. She did not appear in pain or distressed. She was vocal until the end.
I will never be the same after this. I have her wrapped in cloth and plastic and she's in the freezer until the ground thaws so I can give her a proper...
Hi,
Here's Molly again. She'll be 14 years old in 2 weeks. I have taken her to an avian specialist and they are stumped.
She is bare skin bald under both wings, around her legs, and as you can see in the photo, her neck is bald.
Skin is baby smooth and has no irritations.
Her behavior and...
My Mallard hen named Molly has been going BALD for a few months and the vet ( a Cornell University Avian specialist ) says that we are in "uncharted territory" due to Molly's age. After a thousand dollars in vet bills, NOTHING has changed.
Molly is my baby. I never had children, but she's...
Hi,
I have a 13 1/2 year old Mallard hen who's going bald. The baldness began on her body, under both wings, then progressed to her wing "elbows", and now her neck is going bald. If this continues, she'll look like a Buzzard in a few months.
Her appetite, vocalization, and everything about...
I have a 13 year old Mallard female who has always been an indoor pet, with Mazuri for food, organic romaine for treats, and always a fresh supply of RO water,
Over the past few months, she has wanted out of the bathing tub after a couple of minutes, this past Monday, I happened to look under...
Hi,
My Mallard of 9 years, 8 months of age suddenly passed away this past December the 9th.
I incubated him and he's always been an indoor pet. About a week before he passed away, I noticed that he pretty much stopped following me on the way to the daily tub, but other than that all seemed...
Hi, I adopted a female Rouen from the Humane Society here in Mid Missouri. This was back in 2014 and she was about 9 months old then.
She's really sweet, but had a broken wing that we had surgically repaired a few years ago. She has a slight limp because one of the vets mishandled her.
I've...
