I noticed this morning one of my ducks had a type of mass on its bottom. I caught her and thought it was dried up poo however it is hard and attached. She has NO problem pooping and is eating like crazy. What could it be? Whatdo I do? It did seem to have a clear liquid seep out?
I have a 1 year old chocolate Indian runner. I noticed she is missing feathers on both of her wings. I do not notice any of them picking on her. She eats and stays with the flock. I don't know what's wrong!! It's the same on each side.
My ducks are 9 and 11 months old. I have noticed some big feathers around the yard a lot in the last week or so. It is getting colder would that have anything to do with it?
I was getting 5-6 eggs a day. They started laying about a month ago. But the last two mornings there are only three and they are buried in a nest in the corner. Normally they are all just in a general area. But the nest is new and only 3? Any ideas?

Has this happened to anyone? I turned on the lights where my 4 week old runners were this morning and they got very scared. I think I woke them up from deep sleep. Well one all of a sudden went legs straight out, head back and fell over with his wings out. Like a seizure or something. I picked...
I have 1 chocolate Indian runner. She is about 4 months old now. And other mixed breeds but wanted more runners! So I got 4 more babies!! One has the cutest little white poof/fro on its head! I love it!
My 12 ducks are 8 weeks old now. Living outside and have free roam on the yard during the day. We are trying to narrow down how much we should be feeding them each day. I think we were over feeding them and have tried to cut back some but now I'm not sure it's enough. They are eating a mix of...
The openings at the top have mesh that we stapled around the opening. Do we need to also add wire? I think another week sounds like the best option. Thank you!
