Just wanted to update everyone! Both of the boys are still doing okay! They have a vet check up on the 29th so I well let you know how that goes!
Thanks again everyone!
Yeah! Im glad I did too! There was a lot of infection in the torn tissue the vet said! We are going to put up a chain link fence around their house and dig 6 inches to 1 foot into the ground to set the fencing into and put some more chain link fencing over the top! Until that is done they will...
Sorry for the long delay on the reply! I have been busy going back and forth from Thornton to Boulder, half an hour drive each way, because I decided to take the ducks to the only vet that would see them out of the 50+ vets I called that wouldn't see them! THANK THE LORD I DID! One of the ducks...
Thanks for the advice everyone! I will be looking into all of this tomorrow! I will for sure be bringing them inside and putting them in a tote thing! I wanted to tonight but I couldnt get them out of their house!
Okay, thanks! I will have to check into this stuff further. I am having a hard time finding Vets that take ducks! Super frustrating. I plan on keeping them in a tub with fresh bedding! The wounds are defiantly ALOT NASTIER AND WORSE then they look in the picture. The teeth tore through the...
My 2 jumbo white pekin ducks usually run around our back yard and today something attacked them with in a 30 min frame of our dogs being inside. I'm assuming it was a coyote because of the damage and how large the wounds are! They were attacked pretty badly, I will attach pictures. I have them...
GREAT NEWS! Buffy is now walking and standing really well! She gets a little wobbly every now and then but she still regaining the strength in her feet and legs day by day! I would have to say that she is 95% better and I couldn't be happier!
I am now monitoring her food intake and only allow...

love_a_duck- Thank you! Yeah they all used to hang out together... and that chicken was supposed to be a hen and turned out to be a rooster! LoL! I ust recently found him a new home because he was getting aggressive with me! So now my boys just hang out with each other!
katharinad- Yeah I...
I didnt give Buffy food for about 18 hours, then I decided I would just limit her food strictly to her eating 3 times a day for about 5-10 minutes or until she becomes uninterested in the food! I have her separated in her own box and have been dipping her beak into some medicine water I mixed up...
love_a_duck- Here are some more pictures of my boys!
sydney13- Do you really think they are that big? I am new to all of this and have never seen a Jumbo White Pekin in person until my boys... I always knew they were big But I was never really sure how big for their breed! LoL

I just got off the phone with someone at the place in which I purchase my chicks supplys from! The woman at the supply store said that is sounds like my chick may be getting to much protein from her feed which could cause a paralysis. She recommended isolating her in a laundry basket and not...
I have the same problem with my 3 month old chick. I called around to find stuff such as electrolytes to help her and the woman at the supply store said that is sounds like my chick may be getting to much protein which could cause a paralysis. She recommended isolating her in a laundry basket...
Awesome! I am so excited! I love them! Now the hard part! To track down a local hatchery that I can get two baby jumbo white pekin female ducklings through... ugh! LoL! How are they as far as sitting on their eggs?
