    Poorly duck :(

    I tried as you said, was ok yesterday while my partner was here to help. But proved impossible at 6:30 in the morning on my own! Ha Was going to try putting it on a little bread, but she won't eat bread. Found if I put it on a big handful of mealworms she took it all down no problems :) Seems...

    Poorly duck :(

    No apparently I have to give her the antibiotic directly. He said to basically use the syringe and squirt it down her neck as best as possible. The dose is only 1ml twice a day. I've massaged a local chicken/geese breeder about a wormer, see what they say. But I'll have a look see if I can get...

    Poorly duck :(

    Ahh ok, no he didn't do a fecal. If things don't improve I'll have that done. She normally lays every day in the morning. Did yesterday, but nothing today. Though she occasionally skips a day so I don't think that's a huge problem? There is nothing in the garden that could make her sick that I'm...

    Poorly duck :(

    Thanks for your reply. The vet looked down her throat and said looked healthy and nothing out of the ordinary. No idea what a fecal is?? She is drinking ok, if a little cautiously. She seemed to be perking up a little, has got out of the coop on her own and moving around a little, very wobbly on...

    Soft egg shells??

    Hi all I have 2 ducks a few months old. Just this week they started laying eggs, pretty sure only from one of them so far. Only had 5 eggs so far, but they have all been fine with good hard shells. Then suddenly got a second egg this morning, i'm guessing from the other duck... But it's more...

    Ducks loosing feathers?

    Hi, I was worried about my ducks loosing feathers. I'm not sure if they are moulting, or there is something else going on? I have a Kaki Campbell and a Cherry Valley, both about 3 months old, both girls. They have not long had proper feathers so i thought it would be odd to be moulting...

    Duck with cracked beak......

    Well it's the same glue i use on myself, just a good quality cyanoacrylate..... I'm an engineer/machinist so quite accustomed to putting my hands back together. So far i've just been giving it a wash with saline in the morning and evening, not easy to do much between as i'm at work. Not a big...

    Duck with cracked beak......

    Thank for the replies I'd rather not pay out for vets unless I have too. That sound terrible, I'm just poor... Lol It hasn't bothered her in the slightest, took food off me while it was still bleeding and is still acting behaving like always. So I think it's safe to say she is in no pain and not...

    Duck with cracked beak......

    Can see the crack quite clearly. It doesn't seem to be bothering her at all, though it looks quite bad!
