I brought her inside, looked up the symptoms and I only found how to take care of the eyes. I rinsed her eyes with saline and put her in a bath. What about her other symptoms...

    Khaki Campbell feathers turning white?

    I have 2 female Khaki Campbell's and the plumage was once beautiful with the shades of brown and that wonderful pattern, but last summer it changed. I'm not sure if they're sick or is that normal? I'm concerned.

    Khaki Campbell laying blue eggs

    I have 2 khaki campbell females. Marie is the smallest of the two and the first blue egg she laid was a very light shade of blue, but the one she laid Monday was a shade darker. I read that khaki campbells only lay white eggs. Is she okay?

    Pekin Duck involuntary neck bobbing

    My female pekin wasn't her cheerful self when I got home. She was slow to.come inside, no chattering, no sassiness. I've never seen her like this. She gets to her house and she just stood there and I noticed the involuntary bobbing. It was more to the right and she'd "moan", like a low deep...

    Runner duck has minimal voice, like a whisper. Is that normal?

    This is our first runner duck and he's always been very chill and laid back. The older he gets, we notice he doesn't have much of a voice. His quack is much like a whisper. Is this a normal thing for runners?

    We have a male Jumbo Pekin and a male Welsh Harlequin. They're best buds and have been the only males until recently when my husband and I got a Blue Runner duckling and an African gosling on May 11th. The goose (Sulley) is already bigger than the Welsh (Eli). We keep Sulley (goose) and...

    Drake Pekin being moody

    My drake Pekin, Marty, has a wonderful personality and at the moment, he's been using the spare bedroom as his coop. He greets us in the morning with conversation while we sit on the floor together. He allows bill kisses and he's become use to a petting now and then. We talk walks around the...
