Hello! My name is Nicole. I appreciate @amiga tagging me in this post, so maybe I can help you with the situation you're in. It has been over a year since I have been on BYC. My duck is named Quackers, and she will be two years old in June. I got her when I was 12 years old, and I am 14...

Amiga! I can not tell you how thrilled I am to hear from my BYC family again. I've missed you all so very dearly. I appreciate all of the hard work and long nights you've put into me and my baby. What process did you use to make her go broody? Did you just bring her inside? For how long...

I'm sorry about that. It's terrible to have to watch your babies go and not be able to stop it. I felt so helpless when Quackers was sick. It was miserable. Fingers crossed that all of our birdies feathers remain unruffled, so to speak. :P

Good luck with your ducks as well, have any of yours had Peritonitis before? It's horrible.

I'm praying that it doesn't happen again. The shells on her softies are terribly thin, it's scary.

Nice to see you as well Miss Lydia :3 Quackers has been laying two eggs a day for the past three days. One soft, one hard. Two days ago she started acting funny, slightly lethargic. I freaked out, knowing the possibility of a recurrence of EYT. I brought her inside and she slept in my room...

I called North State Animal Hospital (The vet that I took Quackers to) and they said, unfortunately, Dr. Whittington won't be in until Monday. I have to wait until then to talk to him. Any suggestions in the meantime?

Hola familia! Miss me? I sure missed y'all! Quackers has been doing fine by the way. She has been doing great actually, until last week that is. The soft shelled eggs have returned. She is eating DuMor poultry layer, oyster shells, and her prescribed B3, calcium, and phosphate...

Quackers has been great and healthy, I've been taking care of her lol. She sure is a handful. I didn't think, when I first got her, that she would be so much work. She is well worth it though. She chases anyone shorter than me and screams at anyone that's taller than me. I'm the only person...

Hey! Nice to see too Miss Lydia! How are y'all doing?

BTW, :welcome!!!

She looks like a black Swedish mix. That's my guess since my black Swedish looks so much like that, despite the white on the head and beak. Does she/he get on well with the chickens? Just curious. You might hear a lot of people tell you that she needs a friend- while true of some some- was...

https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/876703/happy-easter I posted this at Easter. I am thanking God, she is all better. I still have to give her oyster shells, dark leafy greens, and her B3, phosphate, calcium supplement everyday with her food. Me and her are closer than ever now. And guess...

That's what I thought. I use the DuMOR poultry layer. I was guessing that since the shells on duck eggs are so much thicker than chicken eggs, that there was the right amount of calcium for chickens but not quite enough for ducks. Quackers laid another soft shelled egg the other day and since...

Glad to hear from you as well :) Has your cold receded yet?

Do they ever attack the babies or do they just want to be around them? If they are attacking, they are staying to establish a pecking order most likely. If so, keep them separated. If they just want to be around the youngins for comfort, allow it, but only when you can supervise closely...

I'm going to assume it is an Ancona duckling. I agree with KuroKitsune though, the coloring is a bit off for it to be a maggie, but it is still possible. Also, :welcome !!!

Hey guys! Sorry it has been so long since I was last on here. The last time I was here was when Quackers had EYP, but luckily she pulled through. Thanks to you guys, she is now healthy and happy again. I can't thank you enough for all of the wonderful help you gave me. Anyways, I wanted to...
