Show off your house ducks!
My house ducky is completely lame. He can scoot around some but not much. He lives in my bathroom mostly. Any suggestions for a mobility aid? How often do you change diapers? Mr Duck is a huge Pekin, he poops a LOT! He swims ok in the tub, but I can't leave him too long. He can't get in or... -
You Have What I Want, I Have What You Want. Lets Swap!!
What I have: Ancona duck eggs, fertile. I get one a day so can gather as long as you like, but half a dozen is best I think. Mealworms. What I need: Fertile eggs: black Ameraucana Welsumer Dark, dark BCM eggs Other pretty... -
Big Pekin with very swollen hot hock. Won't walk
Lol. I have three other ducks, they are Ancondas I hatched... All drakes! Then I adopted this fella, and all of them are drakes. Hehe, guess there won't be any ducky love here. I'm still praying for the Tylan to work. When I google causes I get one for swollen hock, mycoplasma synovitis, and... -
Big Pekin with very swollen hot hock. Won't walk
Well the duck got to use my whirlpool tub before I did!! I have given him two doses of the Tylan IM now, so maybe I'll give it orally now for a week or so. The hock is still huge and warm. He really enjoyed the tub!! He was filthy, probably couldn't get in and out of the tub to preen for a... -
Big Pekin with very swollen hot hock. Won't walk
We love it here too! And a bigger ranch too! It's all good, except this poor ducky. ;-( These dosing charts are disparate. I have him 50 mg IM. He's huge. Probably 10 lb at least. I'll try to set up a warm tub tomorrow to let him soak but he honestly isn't much on swimming. I have weird ducks. -

Big Pekin with very swollen hot hock. Won't walk
I have a one year old Pekin Drake who has been limping forever it seems, no known cause. Today he wouldn't even try to walk, so for the millionth time I picked him up and looked at his feet... Then noticed his hock was really swollen. Tender. And hot. Ugh. Help!! I separated him and bought tylan... -

Pekin drake foot problem - help??
I took a Pekin duck from the humane society... I had just hatched three ancondas and he's a month older so what the heck, but he now is limping and has this thick callous looking stuff on his middle toe , side of the outer toe and his heel. The other foot it soft all over. He limps on it. What... -
Month old Anconas look like they limp!
They are on a textured plastic tray with papers down for absorbency. I don't see any cuts. I'm letting them into the living room playpen to "swim" once or twice a day now to soak/play/bathe. Mostly they bathe. It's about a duck sized bowl they take turns sitting/standing in. I'll look for the... -
Month old Anconas look like they limp!
I have the game bird chick feed, it was the only non medicated. And it has high protein. I'll get yeast tomorrow. Their feet look fine! Ugh. Poor things! I don't want to do anything wrong!!! -
Month old Anconas look like they limp!

Four stopped moving today, two were way underdeveloped. Two died. Two more doing ok but haven't internally pipped and still have veins so in they stay. Ducklings seem lazy compared to chicks... They lay, wake up and cheep and stretch. Then sleep some more. Hmmmmm. One is still drying in the...- pnp4kidz
