A friend of mine has a duckwho went broody. None of the eggs are fertile. They dont have a drake. She switched the eggs out for a chiken egg. Will her duck raise the chick or does she need to hand raise the chicks?
I was given three Muscovy ducks today. I must say I am in awe. They are unlike any duck I have had. They have been well taken care of. The ladies are very sweet and tame. The drake tho, is just magnificent. His behavior is very intimidating tho. He seems to be very very grumpy, wagging his tail...
One of my 5 week old Rouen ducks has developed angel wing within the last 2 weeks. It doesnt have all of its wing feathers yet of course. When should i wrap it and how long do i leave the wrap on?
I am also in Michigan. I have changed from feeding them.in their huts at night to one big pan full of food to graze on during the day. My next question is, they are in huts at night only. I leave for work at 6am and have been letting them out in the mornings. How cold is too cold to let them...
Yes she is. I put vitamins in their water plus the pool. I do think she is stained. She has also had alot of trauma in the last couple years losing her family and gaining a new one. She acts great. I do know she had a respiratory problem but that has been taken care of. I just really think she...
I have an old Pekin hen who absolutely loves me. She has seen her mate get killed and her other hen killed the year before. She really isnt growing her wings back. Her 3rd wing seems is only her blood wings. She had a sinus infection for a long time until I figured out that problem and started...
I am currently rescuing 2 Khaki Campbells and 2 Buff Orpingtons. They actually only ate popcorn where they were located.
How should I introduce them to what I feed my ducks?
That's what I thought. I figured I'd keep her in the garage until we have the new big enclosure where I can safely separate her. Whatever it is will come back.
Two of my five ducks were attacked 2 days ago. Whatever it was killed my beautiful Drake Moe and tried to kill my Gracie. At first I thought she had open wounds but after cleaning her up, it only plucked all the feathers off her neck and she does have a hematoma where it grabbed her.
I've got...
Oh wonderful advice. I already do fresh straw. The vanilla air fresheners will help too? That's awesome and I am totally trying them! Thank you for the advice. I know I'm doing something right as up until yesterday I thought I had two hens and a drake but they surprised me with mating. I have...
My 3 month old Pekins have begun to mate! Except...what I thought was the drake is the one being mated upon. If this is indeed the case, I have one hen and two drakes.
I thought I had two hens and a drake. The "drake" had the mature voice and matured faster. The other two have the raspy hen...
