Hmmm. I have a similar problem with my ducks. I notice that when I leave them alone they seem to argue and try to pick on each other. I separate mine for a day and then let them play again in awhile. Seems to help it's like they get on each other's nerves and all gang up on the passive one! Idk...
Hello. So I've had a duck, Sunny for four years. He's a jumbo Pekin. Well this morning when me and my husand woke up, he was limping around. He's an indoors duck, he gets baths and taken out daily. I was curious if what is wrong is bumble foot, some sort of an infection? I'm completely lost. I...
He seems to be doing a lot better. I think he just filled himself up on water for some reason. His walking is better now as well. I don't understand it! Just happy he's doing well. Does anyone know when it's time to take the heating light out of their cage? Or should I wait until more adult...
Hello everyone. I was wondering if his chest looking like this is normal?? It seems abnormally large today. He's also sort of stumbling a little and sleeping while standing up which is all new behavior. His brothers is nowhere near the size of him, I'm worried about him I can't lose another baby.
I put some antibacterial ointment on where the wound was. I can't see it because of all his fluff, but he also seems to be growing a lot slower than the others. By far. I'm worried since he's the one that's had problems. He seems to not want to walk, and he puts his head down at times and...
Hi.. so I know this is completely an unrelated topic, but amiga had told me to try and talk to you about it. Well yesterday morning my baby duckling was attacked by my cat. Not much injury was found. He did bleed a bit, but it stopped soon after the initial attack. I need an antibiotic or an...
He seems to be doing a little better. However I'm still very worried. The gash isn't deep, i don't think. But he doesn't like for me to pick him up. I don't want to disturb him he doesn't seem like he wants to be touched. He's eating and drinking regularly. He's standing and walking with a...
Hey everyone. So my sister accidentally let one of my 3 three week old ducklings out of their brooder. While he was roaming through the house my cat had bit into his little chest area and I found him and swooped him up right away before my cat could do any more harm. He was panicking at first...
Hello everyone, so I recently got three new ducklings. I have started them on quik chik, and niacin. Is t okay that I am giving them both? I just want to be sure that they are super healthy. Also, I have dumor 24% food for them, and I was curious if there are better feeds I should look into? And...
Thanks again for all of your help, but little Milo just passed away. He started flailing his little head then just stopped moving. He was blinking and breathing and his heart beating forabout five minutes, then just stopped... ;(
Thank you for the feedback, but I put him in warm water as someone from another thread said helped move their legs, now he keeps laying there and chirping with his eyes closed... he opens them and gets up but just barely. I'm so worried about him
There's a doctor here that's an actual avian specialist, but he's very rough with my grown duck so I couldn't image how he would be with the baby. He's not the greatest toward the pets or the owners for that matter. But he does have a degree with birds. There's two other vets that see ducks here...
Someone on another thread told me to put him in the water and move his legs around a bit. Well I tried that...and he wouldn't move his legs. After that he started dropping his head and seeming like he couldn't handle it. Now he's sitting in my hands wanting to keep warm and squealing. Please...
