Hi All- we lost most of our flock yesterday to a cold blooded fox- lost 5 of our 7 ducks. Looking for a couple of females to add to our flock in Northern NJ. Will travel 50-75 miles give or take, if you’re in the tri-state area please let me know?
You think niacin defiency even if we've supplemented with Brewers yeast, vitamins and vitamin complex since little younger than 4 weeks and they're 7 weeks now? It happened overnight but we haven't seen any sort of improvement, it's leg has been like that for week and a half
Hi All- I'm at almost 7 weeks with my flock of 6 ducklings. I have 2 pekins, 3 khakis and an oddball that we were told was a black runner but looks more like a khaki but not exact. I've had them on naturewise starter 18% and starting to get low on the bag. I've been supplementing oats with...
So I did examine both legs, the limp is on the side with the foot turned in. I feel line that's the leg that's being the issue. From where the leg starts at the top going down to the foot, it's slanting almost 45 degrees and facing inward like it's twisted. Her other leg is straight. They...
Thanks for all your help and time! At what point in your experience do we say yes probably a leg injury versus something like neurological issue? Just do best we can and wait and see?
They started on Dumor 20% non medicated chick starter and at 4 weeks switched to naturewise 18% starter. They get 2 scoops Brewers yeast 2-3 times a day in their feed. They get a snack of usually peas or romaine lettuce and I spray 3ml b complex on the treats and I also give the Pekin with...
When I take a video with my cell phone it says it's not valid file for uploading on this site? It looked straight in the bath today but when we went out the ducks left foot is literally facing sideways inward instead of straight ahead.
Hi All- I have 2 pekins both around 6 weeks old come Saturday. We've been getting the run ready and they've been living in 110 gallon stock tank with 3 khakis. They all go out for most of the day weather pending, and get at least 1 bath a day. We noticed the pekins grew super fast and the one...
They're on 18% non medicated chick starter, they get Brewers yeast with every feeding, and poultry vitamins every time I fill their 5 qt water. They get grit every day and usually a couple servings of snack, I mix it up between romaine lettuce, peas, grapes, berries and banana so far. Looking...
Ok, so my 6 ducklings freak out when you try to seperate them. I was able to pour .5 ML on some blueberry for the Pekin with the less than desired extension in legs. The others wanted nothing to do with eating treats of they were kept seperate. I tried this for a very long time and finally...
I'll try using a flatter small plate and will put some on it just in the morning for them and see how it goes. Is the grit something you keep a constant supply of for them to eat? When I have kept it out they tend to keep eating it.
Last question- if they're getting Brewers yeast on their...
Thanks, I've read a ton of different suggestions from people either throwing it in with their feed or keeping it seperate. I wasn't sure which way to go, but when I throw it in a seperate bowl they wind up making a mess in dumping it out. Is there a downside if I'm adding it to the feed each...
