didn't get a chance to get pictures on. After researching what a few of you said it looks like the bumblefoot. is this contagious to my other ducks? she is still quarantined right now but I'm think maybe I should take her back. I don't want my babies to get anything. but I also don't want to...

I will post pics tomorrow she is in sad feather condition she was only given drinking water. she was so happy to play in the creek in our yard. She is a pretty sweet girl hoping she cleans up nice and hope I can fix those feet up.

Quote: Was wondering if you were getting any Saxony eggs yet.

I am looking for a Saxony breeder in North east Ohio can anyone Help?

predators and the cold are how we lost the other 2. ok now my next question is do older ducks have a hard time getting use to kids. I have boys that well I like to say torture my animals with love. Never hurt them but I think they sometimes get more love than they want. I know the calls we...

Unfortunately this winter I have lost 2 of my 3 large breed ducks :hit. My poor drake that is left is wondering around lonely and lost since his mate died last week. My question is will he be fine until we raise another duck for him or should I find an adult to introduce him too? Thanks for...

Unfortunately I have lost 2 of my 3 large breed ducks that all were housed together. We lost our duck last week and her mate seems very lonely and lost since she has passed. My question is is he fine waiting months until I can raise a new mate for him or should I get him an adult now to...

Quote: when they are housed together how do you keep the drake from getting to much calcium.

This is our Saxony female my son is in 4H, 2 years ago the one advisor gave us 2 ducklings said the one was a pekin the other he wasn't sure it had been from a mail order he placed. As she got her feathers we figured out she was a Saxony. She is pretty sweet, she sat on a nest last year and 2...

He was lose in the yard. but we are very thankful that the dog(we are guessing) only got the one. there were 2 ducks other loose in the yard and we have a coop of chickens, our call duck cage plus many rabbits that it didn't bother at all. I think it was playing not trying to kill anything...

we lost the Saxony/pekin drake a couple days ago. We love our ducks can't wait to get more.

would it be normal for a dog to kill just the one and leave the other 2 alone there were 3 ducks out. I think he tried to go to the cage for safety he was laying in the cage. This is the first duck we have lost and the first of any of our animals to be killed by something we are kinda lost...

No not really thats why we don't think it was a dog.

the only thing we saw were some dog tracks but I have dogs so not 100% positive not our dogs tracks.

When we got home today this is what we found. We have 2 drakes and one duck they have been housing together for about a month now and showed very little signs of aggression toward each other. when we left today they were all swimming when we got home the 2 were in the yard and the one...

Thanks probably not my boys are getting ready to take the ducks to fair so we will actually have to take the other one from her next week. so we are enjoying them while we can. Last year he won best in show with the Drake.

Last friday our saxony's eggs hatched she has been sitting them herself. My 10yr old son was so excited. 2 of them hatched the drake got a hold of one of the babies through the fence it was hurt but doing good in the house. so mom only has one now but she took it in our little creek the other...

I lost 3 chickens to coccidious I am now treating all my chickens do we need to stop eating the eggs from my Hens. I'm treating them with Corid 20% 1 tsp in in gallon of water. Please tell me that is right I've been looking it up all day and that is what I saw written most. Read many...

I just lost some chickens to coccidious do I need to worry about my ducks. Most of the stuff I have read says no but I wanted some of your opinions too. we've only had chickens and ducks for a year now and I've never dealt with any of this before. Learn as you go I guess.
