    need duck shoes

    Thank you. , I understand the concern. I have a duck who seems to get bumblefoot often (Mr. Bumble) I treat his foot and wrap it as needed. The reason for the shoe/wrap is to prevent the foot from folding under and possibly causing more damage. But being in snowy cold NY I worry about...

    I will attempt to get a video. I have tried a couple times but it seems to be just fine or there were other ducks that would get in the way... thanks for the links.

    need duck shoes

    I worry about trying to make a split of any kind as I don't want snow/ice to get stuck in it causing the foot to get cold. But it is an option I was considering if I could not get some shoes. :) I do provide supplemental niacin once a month for the whole flock (31 ducks, 5 geese, 6 moscovy...

    need duck shoes

    I believe he is probably around 1 year. I think he is one I adopted. As far as I know it has only been a few weeks. I keep a watch on it to ensure it is not staying permanently under. If it is the one male I adopted, it could have been happening a lot longer as she had the ducks on a...

    need duck shoes

    I have a duck who seems to have one of his feet fold under as he walks. does not happen all the time. I have looked at it for bumble foot but have not found anything. I was thinking if I could get some duck shoes (as I remember someone made shoes to see--I think, it has been awile). And my...

    I adopted a handicap Duck!

    I have to agree. they need to bath often in order to keep their feathers waterproof. I have done some reading as I have to two house ducks (one blind and one with a crippled foot) and I put them in the tub when they are in the house (this is their first winter and they are not housed with the...

    surprise ducks help

    I keep my ducks in my chicken coop. I make sure they have cover so they don't get pooped on. I use kiddie pools for their swimming. Use duck feed (has the niacin they need) , since you have females, you will also want to use a layer feed. Since I have ducks, geese, guineas, turkeys and a...

    Incubating duck egg issues in the last days of incubation.

    well the breeding stock are all at least 8months to a year. I have not feed them flock raiser, but they do get layer feed. I have given them some egg shells and will increase more often (or aleast next year) The humity has been between 45 to 55%. and then I try to increase it to around 60...

    Incubating duck egg issues in the last days of incubation.

    So I have had the worst luck this year with hatching duck eggs. They start out beautifully. I have been monitoring the temp and the humidity. I have 1 still air and 2 circulating air. all have egg turners. I have done the candling and monitored the air sack, and movement within the eggs...

    Toulouse goose can fly?

    My Tuft Roman was roming outside one day, when I had to leave for 1/2 hour, I closed up the big pen so the ducks would not get out. but left him wandering with the tom turkey (they were strutting poppas). when I returned 1/2 hour later he was back in the closed fenced in area hanging with...

    Duck seems to act normal but ends up on its back.

    I have a friend who I have been hatching ducks with. one of her new ducklings (cayuga) (about a week old now) seems to act normal, but at times get up on its "toes" and then tip backwards and then not be able to right itself. It is fed duck food not chicken starter. it is still under the...
