    Duck falling over

    I have a 3 month old appleyard that was fine one minute then I looked over again and she/he was flipped on it’s back. We picked it up to check it out and it was a little lethargic.

    Ducks survived dog attack

    I have searched posts extensively since our nightmare started two days ago. We have 3 Pekin ducks, and a goose who is just a bit younger than the ducks. My own dog attacked them on Friday morning. (We have since solved the issue of dog attack and guaranteed he cannot get to them again). I am...
