    The saga of Maybebaby

    I forgot to update! Maybebaby needed a week or so of being with Odette and Holstein but in a separate enclosure (turns out a rabbit cage is a great solution, but you have to wire up the bottom half because ducklings will casually squeeze through a half inch gap if it's wide enough) before I...

    The saga of Maybebaby

    Maybebaby is still kickin! Got her set up in a lil rabbit cage in the nursery area Odette and Holstein are living in. Odette took to her pretty quick, but Holstein doesn't want to let MBBB near Odette, so no full integration yet.

    The saga of Maybebaby

    So I have a flock of Indian Runners, and we're usually pretty good about picking up eggs, but every now and again a girl goes rogue and hides a nest, and if the eggs start getting vascular, I don't have the heart to pull them anymore. One of my girls, Ping, did the thing, so I let her roll with...

    Herbs and spices for ducks

    Does anyone know about herbs/spices for ducks? I saw something online somewhere that recommended small amounts of oregano or garlic or turmeric as supplements and to address various ailments, and I wondering if those were true, and if there were other herbs I can grow at home for them? I looked...

    Adult drake eye infection

    We talked it over last night, and we're going to try to find a new home for one of the drakes. We don't really have a good way to keep the flock separated long term while still keeping everyone safe and happy, and Azula deserves a better life than Zuko is letting him have. I had thought that...

    Adult drake eye infection

    The goop either was or appeared more fluid when I got home from work a couple hours ago. We ran some warm saline over both eyes. The bend of his wing; this is new damage His poor wing feathers are all chewed up and broken. They were pretty tattered last year too, but nowhere near this bad...

    Adult drake eye infection

    One of my runners has what looks an awful lot like an eye infection; pale green goop on the inside corner of both eyes, one more than the other. Anything I can do to help him heal up? He's also a bit tattered in the wing and tail feathers, I think from our other drake :/

    White & Fawn Runners

    Is it just me, or are the white and fawn Indian Runners noticeably more ridiculous than the other color varieties? I've only got 12 runners, so my sample size isn't great, but every time one of them is talking way too loud about nothing, or talking with their bill buried in a mud puddle, or...

    Hatchery recommendations?

    Man, no one seems to have any of the fancy runner colors anymore

    Hatchery recommendations?

    Ah! I should have mentioned, I need all girls. It looks like Crackle will only send me 3 if one is a boy, or if the whole group isn't sexed. Metzer might be good, if they're in CA... I'm in WA so it wouldn't be toooooo terribly far to ship...

    Tattered wings

    That's kind of what I was wondering about

    Tattered wings

    Just the two, with 7 females. They'll pigpile on the same female pretty regularly, so I know there's some competition between them, but I've never seen Zuko actually pecking him or grabbing his wings. And even the pigpiles don't last long, because the goose is a super vigilant chaperone.

    Tattered wings

    One of my drakes, Azula, has had some suuuper chewed up wing feathers all year, and I have no idea why. No one else in the flock looks like this, and he seems totally healthy otherwise, but his poor wings are a total mess! I kind of thought it might be our other drake pecking at him, but I...
