Hi all!
I have a drake that needs to be rehomed because I need to down size. He is great with my other female ducks and is pretty submissive with them. He also loves running up to you and eating right out of your hand. I can drop off if need be! Thanks :)
Hi Folks! One of my girls has a small hard bump on the edge of one of her wings. It almost feels like bone..? I have no idea what it could be but she is eating fine and acting normal. Does anyone have any ideas? Thank you!
Hello fellow duck slaves! Haha
I am wondering what everyone does in terms of Deworming their ducks in Las Vegas? Are there any parasites or diseases that I should be aware of? Just trying to take preventative measures. Thank you! :-)
Hi all,
I have a duck that has congenital arthritis. I received her from someone else that didn’t do anything for her deteriorating condition. She was diagnosed back at K-state (when I lived in Kansas) and has been on Meloxicam that she gets every morning. She has been on it for a few months...
Ah okie that’s good to know! I guess I’ll have to take that by ear then. My SO and I are scouting out houses in late January in Las Vegas and I’ll be making a note of all the backyards and the type of terrain for each one. Still wondering if I’m going to dig a pit to put a pool in, or if I’m...
Thanks for your advice! I’ll be sure to plant a lot of bushes. What kind of bushes and trees have you planted? And do I just push the gravel away and let them walk underneath that? Excellent idea about the automatic sprinklers!!
Hi all! I will eventually be moving to Las Vegas sometime next May 2018. The houses that I’ve been looking at seem to have the running theme of rocky backyard. I am trying to figure out the best way to re-landscape and what to put down for my 6 girls so they don’t get bumblefoot or too hot from...
Hi All!
I recently purchased this dog house, which just came in today : https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GOJU6W8/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I was wondering what sort of bedding I should put in it? I also have 50LBS of food grade diatomaceous earth that I wanted to include...
Thank you SO much for taking the time to advise me :) I will go ahead with the metal hardware cloth. I also think that the stall mats are a good idea as well--how would you suggest I "raise" the flooring so there is drainage? I am a little confused about how to go about it. And should I cover...
Also, what kind of covering do you think would be best? A tarp? I am not sure. Thank you SO much for you advice and help, it is greatly appreciated :-)
Holy cow that sounds horrific :'( I will absolutely make sure to cover the bottom half with the chicken wire. Thanks for the information! I will get to work on that today---do you have any advice also for what I should use to cover the concrete? I have heard if the concrete gets slippery then...
Hi All!
I just got done putting together the ducks Kennel that will house them during the night. I am unsure of what to use as a top for the kennel in order for it to be totally predator proof. If anyone has any suggestions or has been in a similar situation, please let me know! I will try and...
