    Swollen toe/limping

    Hello I have a runner who's been limping for a few days that we've noticed has a swollen middle toe. We've had lots of ice here over the past month and have seen the birds have a few slips and are thinking that could have been what caused it. Having said that, we have her stuck in the run now...

    Drakes not getting along

    Hello everyone, We have 11 ducks, 2 of which are drakes (Welsh Harlequin). The drakes and the majority of the other ducks are about 9 months old. Up until a week or so ago the drakes got along great with only the odd chase down. Now we're seeing one of them chase the other away from their water...

    Sudden duckling death?

    Hey it's me again. Bad luck these days... I picked up three new ducklings (maybe 8 weeks old or so, still had wing feathers coming in) from someone who has lots of birds and other animals. The conditions there looked fine and all the animals looked happy. We put the three of them in the cage in...

    Lethargic Duck

    Hello! Our 1 year old we purchased off someone a bit over a month ago that we've been treating for bumblefoot has now become lethargic. I don't think the lethargy is due to bumblefoot spreading to her bones/blood since it's not that bad. Yesterday morning she seemed completely fine. She ran out...

    Severe bumblefoot assistance

    Hello We picked up 2 1+years old runners a couple weeks ago and today one of them started limping. We picked her up and she has quite a few large sores on her feet that look like they would have been present for quite some time. We checked out the other and she also has a few on each foot but...

    Feeding ducklings and layers

    Hi there We have 5 ducklings approx 4.5-6 weeks old that have moved out into the run and sleep in the coop at night. We also picked up 2 one year old female runners and were able to introduce them into the flock fairly easily with no issues. This is our second batch of ducklings this year so we...

    Welsh Harlequin Gender

    It's me again! In our second batch of the year we got 3 runners and 2 Welsh Harlequins. Here's a picture of the slightly older Welsh we're thinking is a drake. The Welsh were about a week old when we got them so we weren't able to sex them early based off their bills like they say. Any thoughts...

    Khaki Campbell gender?

    Hey all, I've attaching a couple pictures of my 5 week old Khakis. I know it is probably too early to tell what sex they are and the first indicator will be their quack/bwep sounds, but I have some questions as well! Two of the four have darker bills but have slowly started showing a bit more...

    Nutrition for ducklings living outdoors

    Hi everyone, Yesterday we moved our 4.5 week old Khakis outside. It's quite toasty right now where we live although it will be going down to about 13 degrees C at night over the next few days. I'm not concerned that they'll be cold in their house since it's insulated and we are monitoring the...

    3 week old chick with closed eyes

    Hello again, We have a maran who's around 3-4 weeks old. For about the last 5-6 days she's been keeping both eyes closed the majority of the time. It first started with the right eye being closed and now it's generally both eyes that are kept closed. They don't look swollen and she can open...

    Duckling food confusion

    Hello everyone, I've searched the forum and done lots of googling online and there's a lot of differing information about when to switch ducklings to starter/grower. Right now the ducks are eating unmedicated chick crumble (20% protein) and I add in some brewer's yeast as well. The little ones...

    Sneezing/Nose bubbles

    Hi everyone, New chick owner here. We picked up our chicks about 2 weeks ago and they ranged from a couple days old to about a week old. Approximately one week ago one or two of the chicks started sneezing. We read online to remove any dusty bedding so we did this first. Sneezing continued and...
