    Tomato plant might have been eaten?

    So we found that tomato plants (stems, leaves) are toxic to ducks and geese. Our two geese (eager plant eaters) just died from what we suspect is eating tomato plants. I know that ducks tend to go for bugs rather than plants, but my little girl (Warrior the duck) was exposed to tomato plants as...

    Bumblefoot Won't Go Away!

    I've done surgery on it twice and both times there was no plug. I just took her bandages off today and it's still so swollen! I think I'm going to order some birdy booties (shoes that help bumblefoot) for her. What more can I do?! Am I just operating too soon that the core/plug hasn't...

    Cake for Duck?

    I know this is a really really silly topic haha I have an indoor duck who is disabled. She will be a year old in June. This is really silly and unnecessary, but she's my baby, so I was wondering.. Is there any way to make a cake for ducks? I was thinking of trying to mix her duck food with...

    Bumblefoot - Again!

    Hi, I'm not sure if anyone remembers, but a while back my duck, Warrior, got Bumblefoot for the first time. I managed to cure her and for a few months she was Bumblefoot free- until now. She is disabled and walks on her feet the wrong way, wearing them down and irritating her skin, so I...

    Duckling Having Seizures

    A few hours ago we discovered one of our ducklings (supposedly pekin) on their back in our brooder, wet, looking dead, its legs twitching. It had been trampled on by its five siblings as they ran to drink from their fresh water. We took it out when we found it and dried it off, and held it in a...

    Unknown Ducklings?

    Sorry if I posted in the wrong form. I'm still kinda new to this site. Anyone able to identify these brown ducklings? We got them from Tractor Supply a little bit ago. I think they get them from Metzer farms? I've looked all over their site and can't seem to see any breeds that look like this...

    Bumblefoot, or just sores?

    I have a Golden 300 Hybrid mix that comes inside at night and goes out to her pen during the day. She was hatched with defected feet, toes crooked and feet twisted inwards sometimes. She manages to walk, although very clumsily. She falls about quite a lot as well, and stands on her feet...

    Random Crested Duckling?

    So we have this duckling who has a crest. Now, this wouldn't be very strange if not for the fact we have only had a crested duck once, and that was over a year ago. Surely his mother couldn't be fertile from a mating that occurred a year ago? His nesting mother is a Khaki Campbell and Black...

    Duckling with Bald Neck?

    This duckling hatched a few weeks ago. When he hatched, he had feathers on his neck, but recently he's gone bald from around his beak to the start of his chest. He looks kinda cute like that, actually, almost like a vulture. But is this something I should be worried about? He has no strange...

    Duckling Can't Hatch!

    I'll try to get up pictures soon. We have a duckling who externally pipped and then hasn't hatched for at least 24 hours, if not days. We decided it would be best to help it, so today we chipped a tiny bit of the shell off and left it for a while. When it didn't try to hatch anymore, we chipped...
