KaleIAm, my vet has prescribed a treatment as well for my first case of Bumble (chicken) in 9 years. The chicken responded so quickly to the soaking, topical meds, bandaging performed twice a day. Vet is recommending the same treatment for my ducks even though he doesn't think it is bumble...

Oh, no limping....although I have seen them stand on one leg which some have suggested is to relieve pressure on a foot that may be bothering them.

Thank you so much for your advice!

Do you wrap their feet in this treatment regimen....that's the hard part with ducks. I'm doing something similar with one of my chickens and it responded very quickly with no incisions needed.

Thank you for weighing in!! I really appreciate it!

I run my chickens with the ducks. The covered coop is sand (it is the most secure against predators so everyone gets locked up at night in this space) which seems best for keeping dry and removing poop. I scoop the sand run at least twice a day. The uncovered run (I'm in Utah) gets a little...

Hi MerryFeather, I'm dealing with the same issue....can you tell me a bit about how you changed their ground cover for prevention of pressure sores and bumblefoot? Thank you!!

Hello everyone, I was hoping I could get some advice about the sores on my Cayuga's feet. I sent a text to my vet with the attached photo and he thinks it is pressure sores from being landlocked which "could" develop into bumblefoot OR develop into long-term calluses which would be fine. My...

Hi all, This is a really old thread but I thought I would still reach out and pose my question. I'm in Salt Lake City, Utah, and I started my Hmong Red in May. I have some ridiculously ginormous cucumbers from this plant but they aren't changing color from white??? Curious if anyone else has...

First egg of the season!

Yes Cayuga Jane, one of my two has been laying for about 6 weeks and I'm getting nearly one every day. I'm going to put a camera in the coop and try to figure out which one is doing the laying...I know drakes supposedly don't really "quack" but I still feel I may have a quackin' male!!! LOL...

Oh, and no drake feather at 7 1/2 months. Cayuga Jane weighed in with the previous youtube vid and thinks they are both females...so I am just anxiously awaiting the other duck to start laying for confirmation :)

no concentric circles yet in any eggs. I have pictures and a youtube video as part of this thread. I'm just providing progress and updates :) My youtube vid isn't very good so I'll post another.

I soooo much want to believe that my larger, greener, quacking duck is actually a female. But, here is an update: I have been getting 1 egg a day on most days for 3 weeks...only one, never two, and I can never catch either of my two ducks laying an egg. The suspected male has ceased mating...

I love my cayugas!! I definitely love my five chickens SO much...but these ducks...oh my gosh, what fun!!!

What did you note about the bills that made you think male initially...the olive green?

Yay!!!! Thanks for weighing in!!! The one I thought was a male is substantially more green, bigger, thicker neck that she puffs out. I'm glad she is all show :)

Okay, I just posted a YouTube video...not a good one for viewing them but I can post pics for that. My "suspect" drake is the very loud quack that sounds like he is laughing..."ha. ha, ha" and the simple quack is the smaller, less green female. They are 7 months old, no eggs, no drake feather...

Esmeralda is beautiful! Does he quack? How old was he when he grew his drake feather?

Hi everyone, Here's my update on Pyrtle and Samantha, 23 week old Cayuga ducks. Pyrtle (the suspected male) is more green and quite a bit larger than Samantha. Pyrtle did not quack for nearly 3 months and still does not quack nearly as much as Samantha...but when "he" does, it is boisterous...
