    Pet ducks in need of rehoming in 1-2 months (Indiana, 1 male 3 females) willing to travel

    Hello!! I’m looking for a home that has a good female:male ratio, supplies proper nutrition and daily clean swimming/drinking water, has nighttime housing, and a decent sized yard. The owner would keep an eye on the ducks’ health looking for possible health issues. I’m am willing to drive pretty...

    4 ducks (3 females, 1 male) looking to make contacts for possible rehoming in 6~12 months

    Thank you! Like you said standards are a bit high but I would just feel too guilty rehoming them to a place that doesn’t have the same care and fun they’re used to. I will definitely look up rescues as a resource!

    Duckling I took in has niacin deficiency issues and a growth near its tail

    Okay thank you! I didn’t realize their preen gland could be raised up like that, or maybe I just never noticed it with any of my other ducklings. I’m so glad it’s not an issue

    WHAT IS DUCKY

    Everything you said is correct. I couldn’t tell my khaki Campbell’s gender for a long time. Once they get feathered, it first looks like female markings until they gradually get the dark brown/green head and the male markings end a curl on the back of the tail. You’re right that Gender ratios...

    Duckling I took in has niacin deficiency issues and a growth near its tail

    2 days ago I took a single duckling in from someone who had several ducklings and all but one died. I don’t know how they were cared for or how long this duckling spent alone. I know they were gotten at Easter time so it should be about 3 weeks old. Yesterday, I got a 1 week old saxony duckling...

    When can a duck with stitches go swimming?

    Thank you for the link and insight! I suppose you recommend waiting a full 60 days before letting her swim?

    When can a duck with stitches go swimming?

    She didn’t tell me anything about if they were dissolvable at the time. I wish I would’ve asked since it’s so variable!! I didn’t even know they were dissolvable until my younger sister (who is a high schooler who interns at a different vet’s office) said they looked like they were. They’re a...

    Official BYC Poll: How Old Is / Was Your Oldest Chicken?

    That is so sweet :) I could never imagine one of our hens not just eating every treat they find! Hormones do funny things. Sharing knowledge and resources with her baby is so cute to see.

    Okay that makes a lot of sense. Thank you!

    When can a duck with stitches go swimming?

    They did come to me when the injury happened and gave no papers on care instructions (or really any verbal either). I called the office today and was told to wait until the stitches aren’t visible anymore. But I’m not even sure if that’ll mean healing is far enough along by then. I don’t really...

    When can a duck with stitches go swimming?

    Thanks for the reply. I called the office and they told me to wait until the stitches are completely dissolved. My vets office tends to give too little information though and aren’t very experienced with waterfowl. I was given zero care instructions for her except for dosage/frequency of her...

    When can a duck with stitches go swimming?

    My duck was injured nearly 2 weeks ago and got stitches (dissolvable). She had antibiotics and a quiet indoor pen with a heat-pad for the first week and a half. After a little less than a week she had started behaving normally. Her wounds seem to be healing well. The days have been...

    Duck egg candling: do these look fertile/healthy?

    Thanks I will let her know! I’m really hoping the second egg makes it. If they happen to both be healthy, is there a reason one might have a bigger dark dot like that than the other?
