I thought it was doing a little better. But today after soaking it in Epsom salt I was massaging it's leg and more crap came out but no more puss. It is still very swollen and warm to touch. I am cleaning it with Banixx for Chixx, then using triple antibiotic ointment and changing the wrap...
Gotchya!! I will be cleaning the wound with dawn dish soap and water and soaking it then drying it off good and using Neosporin and wrapping it up good!!
She ran away from me when I was cleaning everything up so I didn't get to wrap it or put ointment, but I did spray it real good with peroxide. I will catch her again today and clean it again and try and get it wrapped and put her in the pen. She was hobbling today before I left for work but...
@Miss Lydia So my one duck I thought had bumblefoot...her pad cleared up and then I found a buckeye shell thorn in her foot. It has remained swollen and she barely uses it. So today I was checking her out and was massaging it and squeezing it and some cheese like puss was coming out then what...
So a lady that lives about 30-45 mins away from me said she has a pond on her property and that she has pet ducks and a swan, she is going to be taking all of my beautiful flock. My only question now is what is the best way to transport them?? I have a Jeep and really want to avoid putting...

We call the Runner Stretch because he looks like a little strange with a bunch Pekins. He and Scruff were rescued from a Homeless man who was arrested and was in jail for a week. They were found under a Blue Plastic tote in 90* weather, no food or water it was awful. They smelled of straight...
We just can't financially do it anymore. And the house that we are currently renting, we may be moving. The house we Rent is on a creek and they are mostly free range, and if we move we just want them to have the best life. And we just want someone to be able to love and enjoy them like we have.
I have a small flock of 10 ducks. I am looking to have them all or 5 males rehomed. I currently have 3 Pekin ducks, 1 Fawn & White Runner Drake, 1 Rouen Drake & 5 Pekin drakes. I have WAYY too many males to females ratio. I want/need them rehomed before my females get hurt. I am located in...

So I have10 ducks, 8 pekin, 1 rouen and 1 Indian runner. The females had 3 seperate nests this summer and we left them go to see if any would be broody but they never were. So once the weather started to get freezing/snowing we threw away the eggs in their nests. Not even exaggerating that...
We have 6 ducklings that are just about fully feathered now, is there any special thing/way to introduce them into our current flock of 3 drakes?? We think that 5 of the 6 ducklings are females.
