Got a sick duck
I’m sorry, i havent used this site in so long i had completely forgot i made a post here. As for my duck, she’s been the same. Her vent is still scabbing up, it tends to come and go and right now she’s pretty scabbed both on and below her vent. Her crop and abdomen looked like they were... -

Got a sick duck
I have a 6yrs old Rouen who has been sick for a few weeks now. She’s been bouncing back and forth between being real tired and acting fine. Unfortunately, she also has diarrhea and it’s turned her vent into a high powered ass cannon. The frequency of her squirts is irritating her entire backend... -

Looking for opinions on how to build some duck pens
Thanks for the info! I really appreciate it! But i’m sorry, i wasnt clear enough. I’m not trying to put up a fence at this time but build a predator-proof pen/run outa the fencing and posts. The bobcats are actively hunting my ducks at this point and i need fully enclosed spaces to protect them. -

Looking for opinions on how to build some duck pens
Was wondering if you guys could help point me in the right direction. I need to build a few pens on the lawn for 32 ducks to have safe grass time without getting murdered by bobcats. These will just be day pens to shoo them into, not attached to their coops. But the more i Google the more i... -

Vent-bitting duck
Sorry! I got distracted and forgot to come back to respond. Thanks! She’s a very pretty duck. And super crazy. A buncho wild geese came by to hang out, first time she ever saw them she had to go running and zigzagging through the entire group XD Just vent biting. Both Runner daughters are... -

Vent-bitting duck
Thanks. I definitely plan on keeping her separated. She’s neither a dominant duck nor her father’s favorite (Runner daddy strongly prefers Runner mama). I dont think this is about her wanting her dad’s attention. When she first started this i had 4 drakes living with the girls, she does it... -

Vent-bitting duck
I got a duck biting the vents of the other girls. She waits until they’re being mounted to run over and bite the inner tissues. Sometimes she’ll come up behind an unsuspecting girl and goose her. I thought maybe she was doing it due to stress or boredom from being inside more often during... -

Question about the chocolate gene
I’m thinking of that. She took a fancy to one of her Black Runner brothers. It’d be neat to see if he is hiding the gene too. -

Question about the chocolate gene
I’ve been doing some reading and was hoping someone could clarify something for me. Last year i hatched out 3 Blue Runner x Blue Swedish mutts. One of the daughters is brown (her sister is mostly black with some brown and brother was blue but now looks like he was bronzed, all with the Swede... -

Indian Runner drakes in NW Connecticut
My Runner girl wanted to be a Runner mama and now i have too many boys and nowhere to put them long term. Their coop was supposed to be built weeks ago and it’s just not happening. They’re about 12 weeks old now and starting to get flirty so i’d like to find them a new home before they tick off...- Keikuri

Wry neck caused by mold
Unfortunately no, it isnt big enough to separate them and get a second set up going. Their older siblings are still using the larger area for a bit longer. But it looks like the baby is scratching itself a lot so maybe it scrached the down off itself? I got a anti-bacterial and fungal spray for... -

Wry neck caused by mold
Thanks a lot for your help! I really appreciate it! The baby isnt showing any more signs of a wry neck. Instead it’s missing all the down on its neck, up to its ears. I’m not sure what happened. As far as i can figure its unnecessarily large sibling pecked it off but i dunno. This poor baby... -

Wry neck caused by mold
Thanks a lot! I’m fairly positive it was mold. They cracked the egg from top to bottom trying to share the nest. I didnt have anything to seal it besides tape so it was like that for 4 days under the heat lamp. When the baby came out there was quite a bit of patchy blue all over the shell and... -

Wry neck caused by mold
Will my duckling survive this? My Pekin went broody and didnt do a great job with the eggs. I ended up with 2 under a heat lamp due to being broken (the third she broke and kicked outa the nest when it started hatching. Never letting Pekins try this again >.<). Both inside ducklings i had to... -

Bumblefoot help
The skin where her scab was looks like it’s healing shut. It doesnt look like she’s gonna grow another scab so I’m thinking i’m gonna have to cut her open but not sure how. Are broody ducks more obsessed with getting back to their nest or are mama ducks more obsessed with getting to their...
