Thank you for responding. She is a happy and otherwise healthy duck. I have Penicillin, not Tylan50. This is my first experience with bumble foot. I have lots of chickens and turkeys as well as ducks, and this is the first one. There is no vet anywhere who does small farm animal care (rabbits...

Because she is outside all day long, my thinking is Penicillin could be of benefit. Per a farm animal vet who does little of the small farm animals, only large ones, it was suggested I soak her foot in Epsom salts, which I did. She didn't complain too much. I then cleaned with antiseptic and...

Penicillin. The vet I spoke with who does large farm animals but rarely the ducks, chickens, etc., also told me to soak the duck's feet in Epsom salts, which I did this morning. She still has the "lump" of the bumble foot. No bleeding. Beginning to wonder if I should lance the lump but am...

I have a Pekin pet duck who I treated this morning for bumble foot. I cleaned with antiseptic, sprayed Vetracyin (sp?), and dusted with Wonder Dust. She is isolated from the other ducks. I would like to give her a little shot of antibiotic but not sure how much and if it should be in either her...

Someone out there I am sure can help. I have a three month old turkey hen who has begun standing in one of the water troughs very late in the day. This just began yesterday. She gets in, stays for a few minutes, gets out, and stands hunched over. It has been extremely hot here in Southwestern...

Hi to all you duck owners. My Pekin ducks - which we were going to butcher but are finding them more valuable to keeping the Japanese beetle population down rather than eating them - are now laying their eggs. This is their second week in doing so. The first one that was laid I scrambled for my...

Far southwest part, nearly into northwestern Arkansas. Part of the Ozark Mountains with the Mark Twain National Forest surrounding us. Beautiful.

Thanks for getting back to me. Our weather is warm for the moment. But, rain is on the way once again which means cooler temps. I/they can hold off for another week until things settle down with the weather. This is life in the Ozarks!

Hi, CountryGirl. I, too, order from Cackle Hatchery. I just picked up my 12 Cackle Red Broilers and got an extra one. I also added five turkeys who were born on Monday of that week (I picked up the chickens that Thursday). I was able to get one white broad breasted, two Narragansetts and two...

In addition to the chickens and ducks, I have five two week old turkeys. They are being raised expressly for meat, and are being raised with my red broiler pullets also the same age. Turkeys are doing wonderful. However, these buggers are now flying! Had to chase a couple who escaped the door...

Okay, the 11 Pekin ducklings I put outside to free range at 4 weeks of age have done wonderfully. Now, they will turn eight weeks this coming Wednesday, the 26th. For anyone who has raised Pekins for meat, at what age and/or weight did you butcher? Some articles I have read say eight weeks is...

I am new to raising ducks as newly born little ones. I have them in an extra bathroom with a large feeder dish for their water. They are Pekin ducks and are growing out of this space. I have 11. We have built them their own duck house and yard until they are a little older and can go free range...
