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 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 ?

my tractor supply has "no kind of yeast"... is what they said. Where can I get brewers or nutritional yeast???

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...

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...

hi me again with ANOTHER question, I have my adult, female separated from the male (they can see eachother). I was planning on slowly introducing the ducklings, to the female, at what age would that be appropriate? And then to introdroduce to the male at what age? He is not aggressive but grabs...

any tips on how to minimize flies/ smell from the coop/run? I have some basil and lavender in hanging pots up high bc I saw that was supposed to help with flies. But I don't want the smell to get bad, because it would bother the neighbors. Also, I put a kiddie pool in the run but they don't even...

it's warm outside and we have a kiddie pool set up for the ducklings but the water isn't getting very warm, they are 7 weeks old, would the water be too cold for them? I was giving them warm baths inside but figured since it was nice out try for outside?

we found our duckling about 5 weeks old not walking around and closing her eyes, it was all of a sudden and we don't know what's wrong or how to help. We put pine chips in their pe. And they seemed to be doing OK, but now she is lethargic, the other 2 seem fine. Please help I don't know what to...

Hi, the weather is warming up around here finally (north jersey) and we have the 2 adult pekins outside now, we have our 3 littles inside still no heat lamp about 67 degrees. I've never introduced new ducks to the older ones and was wondering about when, and how to go about introducing them? The...

Building a duck coop for our ducks, for now the older 2 will be in there and once the 3 ducklings are big enough they will join them. The coop is 108 square feet, plus a closed sleeping area for at night. How large should their sleeping area be ?

hi me again, we got the ducklings in a bigger pen and they look like they are trying to eat the pine shavings... should I keep using towels instead? I don't know what to do

one of my ducklings has what looks like drainage around her eyes, she is 3.5 weeks, can I put vet rx in their water or are they too young ? Also is there anything else I can do? She is still eating and drinking, but not as much as the others and I've noticed some dark watery poop, not just from...

Me again with another question... One of my ducklings seems to be missing feathers, or "fluff" since she doesn't have her feathers yet. She's missing some by her eye that my boyfriend said she was scratching and thats why they were missing there, but I've noticed her wings are looking bald in...

my ducklings are 3 weeks old, are there any treats that aren't duckling crumbles that I can give them?

Is this panting? She does it once and a while, but will sit under the heater, instead of at the other cooler side of the pen, and the other two ducklings dont do this. (Also i cleaned their pen out 2 hours ago, they are just extra messy, I will be cleaning it again in an hour lol)

Added 3 little ducklings yesterday! And they're already SUPER dirty lol we have one saxony, cayuga and khaki Campbell! They're 4 days old and super active, even at night. The little saxony keeps sitting down alone in the corner, and idk if there may be something going on with her. She will get...

It's me again lol So diane today has started laying soft not closed shell eggs like this. Just these 2, one big and one tiny... she is under stress bc shes separated from her mate but she has been for a few days now, they are right next to each other, and she had laid two very strong shelled...

Hi again lol so we finally got Diane's all fixed up but now we just took her out of the bath and she seemed soaking wet, it's been about 5 minutes and shes drying off but I've never seen her come out of a bath looking like that. I tried to get a pic but shes moving too fast to be able to tell in...

So diane has been laying for over a week now. Every night. She has an eye injury and we are bringing her to the vet but set up a temporary separated housing for them so they could see each other and not be in the same area. She laid an egg this morning, instead of at night (which is out of the...
