Little duckling's eye is better! Picked him up today and realized I could "move" what looked like an infection. Gently used a qtip and my thumb to squeeze what appears to be a bit of shaving or something from his little eye...all better! Keeps shaking his head but seems happy:-)
Thanks for the info. I haven't had any problems with predators recently. The chickens are now in the backyard with my dog. I am researching what type of coop would be the best fit for my birds. They are outgrowing what I have right now.

These were my first ducks. Unfortunately, several flew away and my big baby was killed by a coyote.
My siblings and I named them Rigby( the Pekin), Steven, Gunter(the Cayuga), Nacho( the Rouen), and Schnitzel( black and white speckled one)
Rigby :-)
Hello and welcome! I, too, am new to raising chickens. I kind of jumped into it head first! Hahaha :) I bought chickens before knowing what to do. Sort of learning as I go. I wish you and your family the best! My siblings and I have had a lot of fun with our little chickens and ducks.
Hello! I am fairly new to raising chickens. My journey started when my father brought home a baby white pekin. We quickly bonded and he became my pet duck, Rigby. Shortly after, my siblings each bought a duck as well. We had five ducks, each of a different breed. They lived with us for a little...
Hello!
I recently purchased a small batch (10) of white pekin ducklings. They all seem to be healthy. They eat, drink, and play; however, one of my little duckling's eyes
appears to be infected. I am not sure what exactly is wrong or how to fix it.
They were two days old when I bought them...
