hi all. im here in the UK with my 5 ducks and one of them has developed a little bumble on his foot. im cleaning him with iodine before soaking in epsom salts, and then after i spray with vetrycin. unfortunately, there are absolutely no manufactures of duck shoes/birdy bootys here in the US, so... -
bald spot on my ducks back
hey, so i noticed when my duck was having a bath that she has a really big bald spot underneath her wings, i've not noticed it before as that area of her isn't exposed as its normally covered, it doesn't look like its bleeding and doesn't have a scab, but as always im worried -
is my ducks bill okay?
im a chronic worrier, does the pinking near my ducks nostrils spark cause for concern for anyone? (as you can see she's fine in spirit) but thats not a problem right? -
duck wing mobility
hi all :) to cut a long story short, back in september my duck injured his wing (flesh wound I believe), in october he recovered to the point where he could flap his wings with all his might, but for the past few months I've only ever seen him giving his wings a light flutter, and I spend a lot... -

my welsh harlequin is VERY dark
hey! so today i added a welsh harlequin to my group of ducks, she's six weeks old and hit it off with my ducks immediately (although they are still very territorial). this is a breed that I know very little about, but I know that they do malt and change their colouring, which is why I was not... -
do smaller ducks get picked on by bigger ones
hello, so i have 2 cayuga ducks and 2 white campbell ducks, still growing both 8 and 10 weeks old.
