    First time Flystrike SOS

    I only had water on hand, i would have made a saline solution but i didn’t think this was flystrike i was dealing with. We are going to go again tomorrow to see how many more we can get off her. We have a different strategy for tomorrow too. Wish me luck, any tips on the next 16 hours would be...

    I don't know what to do!!??

    Hi there! Were they mixed into a group or did you have them separated from the group?? Did you leave them with the mom? Sometimes the moms are not very mothering at all. Some added info could add some insights :)

    First time Flystrike SOS

    It appears my beloved Pekin duck has flystrike. We had a dog attack a few days ago and my sister said she was fine, when in fact she had two puncture wounds on her stomach, hence the flystrike. I have never had any animal have flystrike before and i am looking for any tips! She is still...

    HELP weird worms found

    THANK YOU. i will try to look around her again in the morning because she doesn’t seem to have any bowel issues that I know of and i could not find another wound. I will check again. I will also take her into my house tomorrow in a secure kennel. Do you think it’s safe for my other birds right...

    HELP weird worms found

    Hi everyone! I feel like my farm life has just been one thing after another. Our dogs recently broke into our duck yard and did a little bit of damage. Two of our female Pekins were hurt. Neither too bad, the one I need help with just had a single puncture wound to her side, not too serious...

    Depressed Duck???

    Yeah, he was always kind of keeping himself separate from the group even when he was the only male present. It just seems like it’s gotten worse with the presence of another male.

    Depressed Duck???

    Hey everyone! It’s still more of the same :/ I’ll have to sit and wait for me to actually see him poop cause there is no way for me to tell which poop is his. I’ve attached 2 photos. I put out some fresh water and he literally went the opposite direction. P.S. I’m cleaning out their yard...

    Depressed Duck???

    I really am hoping this will work itself out. He looks like a depressed teenager :(

    Depressed Duck???

    About 8 months if it had to guess. My Swedish is much larger however. He was always kind of a loner (which I know is really weird for ducks so i’ve kept my eye on him), but now he’s alone 24/7. He even put himself in the corner yesterday. I’ll post pictures soon.

    Depressed Duck???

    it’s hard to tell which poop is his but there has never been any poop that looks odd or worrying. I will stop by today and get some vitamins though. Hopefully it’ll add a little pep to his step. Also we just picked him up the other day and he is just as heavy as the rest :/ Hopefully the...

    What are their age? And what breed are they?

    Hey! Congrats on the new little ones. To me they do look like little Pekin babies. I’ve had several and some I got were just like that. I’m also thinking 2 weeks sounds about right. Just be prepared for when they start to sprout, cause if you can’t put them outside (aka if it’s too cold or they...

    Muscovy Egg laying ?'s

    I’m not 100% about Muscovy ducks but what the other commenter said sounds accurate. They will usually lay in a different spot everyday (in some cases even if you don’t pick up their eggs). In regards to the egg picture. There is nothing wrong with that. If you have a relatively young duck that...

    Duck mauled by dogs

    I would definitely say get Vetricyn, and apply it ASAP. It can be kind of spendy but still cheaper than a vet visit. I got mine from tractor supply and it lasted me through several very bad injuries. It is important to follow the instructions though (flush the wound twice a day). You should do...

    Duck on its back!?!?

    It’s always a good thing to keep an eye one but usually it’s just a cute accident. Good luck with the ducks!

    When can I introduce?

    Hey! Sorry just a little confused. So you are trying to match up a 2-3 day old chick, with a 3 week old pullet? For breeding purposes? Or just for living in the same area?

    Depressed Duck???

    Okay so i’ve got a bit of weird one. So i had originally, in one pen, 1 mallard drake and 2 Pekin drakes. And in the other pen 3 Pekin females and 1 Black Swedish drake (all of these are young ducks i just didn’t want to put them in with all the males cause that’s a lot of testosterone, you...

    One of my babies is hurt!

    It seems like you already have this one figured out. I agree with everyone else’s supplementation recommendations. The only other thing I’m willing to swear on is fresh greens. It doesn’t even really matter what type ( not spinach tho). I swear whenever my ducks are having issues it makes them...
