They're coop is good I think, it has pine shavings and its ventilated and closed at night. I feel bad for They're feet walking around on snow, or like it is right now rainy and wet and the cold ground. If it does get under 20f what would be the appropriate things to do? Also is that with a wind...
Hi I'm in north jersey, and our ducks have been outside for about 5 months now. They haven't had cold weather outside yet and I just wanna do my best to keep them comfortable and happy! It's already getting pretty cold here so I was wondering if anyone has tips,tricks or suggestions for winter...
I know i saw an article but I cant find about home bunblefoot surgery, and if anyone has any tips! I may attempt it or try and get an appointment at the vet this week in between work. Thanks in advance!
😳 um I could try? I just don't want to make it worse, she's not one to sit still, or hangout with me long. But getting her to the vet is also a hassle. I would definitely feel more comfortable having the vet doing it, does she also need antibiotics?
I have a feeling this is bumble foot, the pictures are pretty dark, and the bumps are mostly goldenish/brown.
I have tried to soak her feet in epsom salt but we can't keep her in the soak for more than 5 minutes (even with a bowl of water and meal worms to eat out of). What should I do? Vet ?
Not any antibiotics but the female had prescription I guess antibiotics eye drops but I haven't given them to her in a few weeks. They get some corn and meal worms aside from their food. They are eating and drinking and preening and otherwise acting normal so I guess I will keep a close eye on...
Also I was just in formed that my boyfriend changed their food so maybe that could be the problem?
... also I forgot to mention the ducklings (10 wks) have normal poop. They go outside during the day and inside at night as we don't have enough room to separate them all in the closed coop.
Also they don't have much grass in that area, so it's not from eating grass. (We are setting up the yard for them to safely free range but haven't finished it yet)
hi me again.
I've read the green poop is bad, and today I went in to clean the duck area and noticed green poop.. i cleaned it up before it hit me that it was probably not good but I took these 2 pictures. Ive spent so much money at the vet recently that I'd like to try and fix it at home if...
These are some updated pictures. I was planning on adding ventillation, but I was worried last night. I ended up checking on them around 1030 and it cooled down a lot in there. Hopefully I can get another vent area done today! (They are separated right now because of the mating situation, and...
I dont have a real picture ao I screen shotted this from a video i had, the back part is all covered for when it rains and it all has roofing on it. (This is an old picture)
So i was just putting the ducks in for the night and realized it was still a little hot in the coop. The door was open all day so it wasn't collecting the hot air, and there is a small vent at the top about 6 inches (its triangle shaped) and another short but long in legnth vent at the bottom...
