    Lame duckling

    We had a big surprise this morning, though! We looked in the nest and there were 2 more eggs buried. Moms haven’t sat on the nest for days, but one has pipped and the other is working on it. I can’t believe they’ve made it this far with no mom

    Lame duckling

    He didn’t make it, in-spite of the splint, hand-feeding, etc. he was just too weak

    Lame duckling

    She splinted it forward(with bandages and a paper lip), hoping that it would strengthen and grow in a more natural position. I’ll change the splint every few days. Fingers crossed!

    Lame duckling

    You can see a small wound on the top of the leg, but it may be out of joint too. When he wiggles his legs the injured leg kicks backward

    Lame duckling

    He got tangled trying to get through the chicken wire and injured it. Looks like it’s turned backward. It doesn’t seem to hurt and he hops around ok on one foot, but I’d like to help if I can. How do I get him Niacin?

    Lame duckling

    One of our ducklings is lame - his leg drags behind him and he’s having trouble keeping up with the flock. Any ideas for helping him out? Has anyone made a splint for their ducks?

    Hatching

    hey everyone, I was away during hatching and my house-sitter got a bit too aggressive trying to help the last duckling hatch. His bottom is bloody - looks like some of his skin was pulled off. Is there anything we can do?

    Silver Appleyard Indian Runner Duckling - 5.5 Week old pics, 26th May

    That’s so cool! We got our as young adults and they aren’t very cuddly. They will carefully approach when we have food, but don’t let us pet/hold them. I will definitely try training with our upcoming ducklings!

    Aggressive drake

    I am new to raising ducks and have just started finding my first eggs. I have two hens and one Drake. Yesterday, when my daughter went out to get the egg, the drake chased her. Today he attacked her and ran at me as well. He’s always been friendly before the hens were laying. What should I do?
