    Severe bumblefoot in pekin

    This isn’t the first time I’ve had to treat bumblefoot, but this time seems far worse than usual. Yesterday one of my pekins started to scrunch up her foot and start walking with the top of it (as seen in the first picture below). She is already overweight and we have just started water therapy...

    Severely Limping Duck

    Hello! Almost a week ago one of my pekins started to limp, not wanting to put weight on her right leg. She has a few tiny bumbles but none as serious as what she had in the past. We gave her 10 min epsom salt baths for two days and her limping pretty much went away. But after playing in the rain...

    Female mating behavior?

    I have two female ducks (they have both been laying so that’s how I know). Recently I’ve noticed that one of them likes to get on top of the other. It looks a lot like mating, but they’re both girls so it’s just one duck sitting on the other… is this normal?

    Bumblefoot in duck

    I found a black spot on my duck’s foot today and realized it is bumblefoot. She runs around the yard all day, so I would not be surprised if she had accidentally stepped on a stick or pinecone. We have Epsom salt at home, we just need to buy some Vetericyn and vet wrap. At this point of the...

    Beak Injury

    Last night, a raccoon attempted to grab my ducks through the chicken wire and ended up breaking off the tip of one of their beaks. I didn’t find out what had happened until I came back from school and by then, the bleeding had stopped. I could tell that her beak was still sensitive, as she was...

    Help! Bleeding Wing

    I let my ducks out of their house to wander in the yard and play in the pool for a bit. To my knowledge, no dogs or other larger animals went near them. I saw the two of them in the pool together and everything seemed fine but when I went to check, one had a bleeding wing. I got some pictures of...

    Duck travel

    I have been wanting to get my duck out of the backyard for a while now, whether that is for a trip to a nearby creek or just walking/exploring the neighborhood. (She is almost 5 months old and we hatched her.) We bought a harness/leash for her, and it fit fine, but I could tell that she hated...

    Sick duck?

    We just adopted a 5 month old duck who does not seem healthy, but we aren’t sure what is wrong. She has eye discharge, barely moves, can’t fully stand up while walking - which causes her tail to drag - and shows no interest in eating or drinking unless we pour water into her beak. Previously she...
