Injured duck
I’ve looked her over thoroughly a few times and have found nothing significant. She is missing one of her nails, but I doubt that is enough to cause this sort of response. As of now, I’ve moved her inside in a small tub with food, a small bowl of crushed grapes, and a deep bucket of water. -

Injured duck
Yesterday, when I was checking one of my ducks for bumble foot. As I was about finished with my inspections, she suddenly flapped out of my hands, and landed awkwardly on the ground. Since then she hasn’t been walking very well, and seems quite lethargic. I can’t find anything obviously wrong... -

Penicillin for pekin
I had to do this for one of my ducks once when they were attacked by coyotes. I used 0.15 ml per pound with 22 gauge needles, every other day. Google how to give intramuscular injections to birds. It’s pretty easy and it really helped our birds out. Good luck! -

Injured Mourning Dove
Greetings, A few days ago, I found a mourning dove in my yard that was missing a wing. Having dealt with similar things with my ducks, I felt confident I could help the poor guy out. So, took the duck in, gave it some first aid, and a few days later he seems to be doing fine, minus his wing...- Tape

Duckproof fencing?
I've had great success with hard ware cloth. It is pretty much everything proof. I've used it on my duck coops for years, and I've recently started using it to fence off my gardens too keep much ducks out. It is a quarter inch mesh weave, so you shouldn't have any issues with them sticking their... -

How Cold is Too Cold?
Greetings, It is getting really cold in Colorado of the late. I think the high temp for tomorrow is 10 degrees f, and in the low is something like -9. Is this too cold for ducks? I've kept ducks for three winters now, and the coldest its ever gotten has been about 2 degrees. They have a four... -

New to incubating pekins
Unfortunately not, it’s a sign that an embryo died and the ring is caused by bacteria -

The second to last one looks like it might have a blood ring... but the first one looks really healthy! -

New to incubating pekins
I’m so jealous!! Egg incubation has been by far some of my fondness memories from my duck raising career! It’s so incredibly satisfying and rewarding (also incredibly stressful)! I wish you the best of luck with your incubation endeavors! -

Duck pelvic distance question
You could also isolate one by one the suspects and determine that way! (Or go the classic spy cam in the coop rute) -

Misting and cooling duck eggs, is it a must?
In our some what limited experience, we have not misted our eggs but we have cooled them. It is very important to measure the humidity of your incubator. For most of the time the incubator's humidity should stay around 55%, and in the last two or three days of the hatch, be raised to 80%... -

New Duck
Thanks for all of the responses! To the point of the duck being transgender, I can't really say. The people we got her from said that they got her as an egg laying hen, but she stoped laying, and developed drake feathers, but it's always possible he has always been a male. As for quarantining... -

New Duck
Greetings, I am about to adopt a new duck into our flock. We found him in a craiglist ad, after his owners put him up for adoption. I am wondering if I need to quarantine him from the rest of our flock to avoid any disease transmission. Does anybody know if this is necessary? Also, he is a... -

Duck going back out side?
She has been inside for about a week and a half. I have been letting her out during the day, but taking her in at night. She does seem pretty ready to go back out though, and tonight the low is 46 degrees. Will it be ok if she stays out? -

Duck going back out side?
Greetings, One of my ducks recently got attacked by a fox. She initially was un able to eat and got an infection, but she is doing much much better now. We are getting pretty close to the point where she can go back out side. However, here in Colorado things are starting to get cold, and as I...
