    Pekin duck falling over

    Hello friends. My pekin duck/drake is about 9-10 months old. I noticed when I was moving him today that when I set him down he just falls over. He seems to be swaying like trying to catch his balance when he stands up. When he walks he falls over sometimes in his side sometimes on his back. He...

    Damaged or broken wing?

    Hey friends. I lost one of my baby chicks yesterday about 12 weeks killed and taken by something probably a hawk but when I went to check my other babies I found my sapphire gem on her back going in circles.
