Hia again .. the little duckling I was on about previously is alot better and seems to be doing well now but now I've noticed that the other duckling that was small seems to be developing a leg problem and his legs are quite far apart .. I dont think he's getting enough of the brewers yeast in...
They do drink all the water I have 7 ducklings and it's always empty within an hour or so some days .. and also I didn't think of mashing up the food with that I'll give that a try maybe at least then I know it won't go to waste they're greedy little buggers hehe
Yea I put it in their food but it seems to just go straight to the bottom and all clump up because they get water in the feed and I don't think they are getting enough of it. I'll try some in the water tomorrow and keep an eye on them. Thank you :)
Okay thank you .. I managed to buy some brewers yeast from my local tack shop.. would it be okay to put it in the food for all the ducks because I haven't really got anywhere I could put him on his own ..
I happened to find a page on here .. it says that he may be niacin deficient and that's what's causing the problem. Do you think it's also the food I'm Giving them? Can they go on different food now they're about 4 weeks old. So sorry about this. I'm so new to all of this I'm worried I'm going...
Not at the moment I'm just giving them chick crumb and yes I have a vet. The others are all fine .. I think this is the one that had a bit of trouble hatching we had to help him get out
Hi again.. not sure if this is in the relevant post bit I'm quite worried about my one duckling I think it's the same one as above .. he doesn't really seem to be growing as quickly as the other 6 I have and also he's got bald patches by his eyes and both his legs shake really bad to the point...
Yes they're kept outside as of 2 days ago in the shed I let them out but keep an eye on them when they are but I haven't really noticed to be honest if he whips his head around. I have 7 of the little ones and they just seem to all bunch up and cutch down when I'm there. Will give you an update...
I just noticed on one of my little ducklings it has a lump the size of a 5pence peice on its back just above its tail .. could someone tell me what it could be ??
That's a good question .. I have 7 khaki cambell ducklings and they are about a week old now .. my.house stinks and the brooder they are in is getting a bit like a sardine tin lol. I'm also.new to all of this so I don't have much of an idea . And after reading some other posts on here about...
Hi
I'm Sarah and I'm pretty new to all of this .. I'm not even sure I'm replying or putting comments on here properly lol. I'm from Pontypool in South Wales (uk) and uve just hatched my first 7 khaki cambell ducklings!
Hi I'm new to this .. so will probably need quite a bit of advice. I have just recently hatched 7 khaki cambell ducks (so cute!) They are about a week old now. How long do i feed them chicken crumb and then what do I feed them after that? Thanks
