    Duck with calcium deficiency?

    My duck has all the oyster she could want, accessible at all times but she has been laying soft shell eggs pretty often for about 2-3 weeks. I have 23% calcium gluconate, should I dose her with it? No history of soft eggs before this period.

This started after she laid the bad egg, and the weird breathing lessened after 10 or so minutes and the tail pumping is less too. She’s...

    Pepper to prevent rats and squirrels from getting in the duck food?

    I feed my ducks from a bowl each night and they eat overnight before being let out to free range in the morning. We have a rat problem where the rats will eat out of the bowl, in the coop, etc. They eat a pretty large amount of food and I'm tired of fat rats 😅 I noticed the rats don't come out...

    How to help duck gain weight

    Hi, I have a duck that was attacked by a hawk not too long ago and got a scrape on her bill and under her wing. She’s healed up now, but she has lost some weight (presumably due to the stress) and is a bit thinner than before. She free ranges 12 hours a day, gets plenty of fruit and all the duck...
