    I'll definitely try that out, I'll also pick her up some meal worms as a treat until she gains all her feathers back. Thanks for the recommendation!

    Help: Duck loosing feathers right before winter!

    Thats a good idea, I try avoiding giving her the other animals food because I was worried it was too fatty for her but I suppose a small amount won't hurt.

    I've herd of tetracycline and amoxicilin for ducks but I'm not exactly sure what they do or what they are for. I'll give him a call before I leave to see what he recommends. Thanks for your help!

    One of my ducks has a cold! Help.

    Unfortunately where I am most people only have cattle and horses so that's basically all they do besides usual vet animals, but I do have a friend who's uncle is a vet and I know he works with most farm animals so I'm going to see if he deals with ducks, on a good note she is moving around more...

    Thanks everyone, I forgot to mention that she doesn't really seem motivated to move around and do anything, she kids of just sits, shes also not eating her field greens as far as I can tell and I'm not entirely sure if shes eating her corn, she also sticks her tongue out a lot as if shes yawning...

    One of my ducks has a cold! Help.

    One duck was born the beginning of October 2012 and the sick one was born the last or second last week of September so they're about 6 months(ish). It's about -6 C outside right now but the indoor portion of their pen where they are is warm enough for me to be inside without a jacket on (I'm...
