    Does my Pekin have bumblefoot, and if so, how do I treat it?

    My Peking, Canard, has contracted bumblefoot this season. Probably my fault as she was well over weight. She did stop eating her feed and scratch mixture because of antibiotic injections that upset her stomach balance. I added probiotics to her water, along with fresh oregano, and supplemented...

    Need Input on Bumblefoot Treatment in Ducks

    Hey duck lovers, Treating bumblefoot is very time consuming but it can be beat. We dilute novalsan surgical scrub, and soak for 20 min., then rinse in clean water. You can use triple neosporin ointment, vetrecin, or SSD cream. Wrapping a duck foot is not an easy task. Here is what we do...

    Brewers Yeast or Niacin for duckling

    FLOPPY UPDATE: Well the day has come and Floppy and the gang have moved into the "duck condo" . Having outgrown the pen in the garage they are spreading their wings and loving their new digs. We placed Floppy on her parade float ( formally known as the wagon) and off we went in full display...

    What is the best waterer for ducks

    Hey this for sure is a real problem! My ducks will play in ANY water they find even thought they have a pool. As for the feed water, I wrapped a large 4 inch deep horse feed pan with 1/4 inch hard wear cloth and and put the water dispenser on top of that. It worked! I had way less spillage and...

    Brewers Yeast or Niacin for duckling

    Update on Floppy! She is doing very well and is now stronger and able to fight for a place at the table. She is still on her supplements of brewers yeast and I add water soluble Niacin to her water feeder also. All my ducks have benefited from this, but for sure Floppy has had a big turnaround...

    Floppy needs help

    Well Floppy has been on the vitamins and is doing well. She is an oddly shaped bird and is developing very slowly compared to her siblings. She is walking again, though waddles left to right in a very pronounced way. She is half the size of the others, but swims well and is able to now get out...

    Floppy needs help

    THank you for the help, I am off to the health food store bright and early to get what she needs. The poultry vitamins do not have the needed dose. They only have 22 mg per scoop and that is put in a gallon of water for all of them so she is not getting a proper dosage. It does explain why we...

    Floppy needs help

    I did buy the poultry vitamins but maybe there is not enough niacin in there for her needs. Do you know how much she should be getting? She is 6 weeks old.

    Floppy needs help

    I went to tractor supply to get some ducklings. I got 4 Peking, and 4 khaki campbells. All looked well though I did pick a undersized khaki as he was being stepped on by the others and clearly needed help. His name is Runty. After some individual care Runty has become the devil of the cage and...
