Hi, can anyone advise me if my duck is moulting? I just want to be sure she’s definitely moulting and not injured/ill. Thanks 🦆

I was told bumblefoot can take a loooonnggg time to heal and I’m totally committed and determined to get rid of it, but I just wanted some reassurance that I’m on the right track to them being completely healed or if anyone has any advice on how to speed the healing process up? I’ve added a few...

I’ve been battling bumblefoot for 5 months with two of my ducks (Molly and Maggie). Maggie is now booked in with the vet as after being on antibiotics and regular soaks it still looks very angry and just won’t budge. Molly (pictures included) on the other hand has a less worse case of...

Hi, I have a duck with bumblefoot that I am currently treating and seems to be getting better. My issue is that one of my other ducks who I thought may also have bumblefoot has this thick black mass on her feet which is nothing like my other ducks feet. I’ve been soaking her feet in Epsom salt...

Please help, not sure if this is bumblefoot or not? I’ve never dealt with it before so need some expert advice please. What do I need to do to make it better?

Hi everyone, can anyone help with what (if anything) could be wrong with my drake Thomas. He has missing feathers on his face (see pictures) and I can’t work out why?! He is my special boy and my only drake, he’s had such a tough time lately with a prolapse that ended up with a trip to the vets...

Hi, can anyone shed some light on what this is on my little ones face please? I’ve inspected it and it doesn’t seem to be infected. She wasn’t upset by me touching it and is acting absolutely normal. I wondered if it was just her beak through her hair because it looks to be pink or am I barking...

Hi all, I’m re doing my ducks run this weekend as it’s turned into a complete mud sludge! I would have left it for them that way, but the ducks aren’t even enjoying it anymore by the looks of things! So my question is, would a cement base be ok in their run covered with woodchip? How will it be...

Hi everyone, hoping to get some advice about my outside duck run. I have 5 beautiful Aylesburys. Im in the UK and have been turfing their run but it’s just turning into a poop swamp. I’ve added a roof to part of the outside run to keep it dry but wondered if anyone had any ideas on the best...

I’m looking for some help on what to do with what was the grass area in my ducks run. It’s now turned to muddy sludge as we have had quite a bit of rain…I’m in the UK so this is pretty standard even in the summer months. I have 5 Aylesbury ducks, they have a pool area with stones around it that...

I have 4 ducks and one Drake. They all currently eat grower pellets. My girls have not yet started laying. I don’t know what/if I need to switch them to layer feed? What will my Drake eat? I’ve heard some people keep their ducks and drakes on grower pellets and use oyster shell for the girls on...

My 12 week old Aylesbury Drake has a prolapse penis. I am a first time duck owner so have never ever seen this before or even know where to start to treat it! He had blood around the area which I have cleaned with iadine to stop any infection (hope this was right) he has had a paddle in the bath...

Hi, my Aylesbury duck is limping and her limp seems to be getting worse. My question is, should I bath her in cool or warm water? I’m doing Epsom salts too, should this be cool or warm water? Thanks in advance.

Hi, I have a 10 week old Aylesbury duck with a limp. Im already doing water therapy every day, also soaking her legs in Epsom salt, separated her from everyone else (although they can still see each other) and she has aspirin and vitamin b complex. Can I give her poultry cider vinegar? Will this...

Hi everyone, I have a 10 week old Aylesbury duck who has (I think) sprained her leg. She is limping quite badly and has been for about a week now. Don’t think it’s broken as she doesn’t look in pain and is happy for me to touch it and is acting normally other than the limp. I’ve separated her...

I’m in the UK and would like to know if this product (see picture) is ok to give to my 10 week old duck to make her better on her feet. If so, how do I administer it? Just a drop in the water or on her food?

Hi everyone, hoping to get some help/advice. My 10 week old Aylesbury duck has started having issues with her foot. It’s slightly turned in and she has trouble when she starts to walk, after she gets going it seems to ease slightly. It’s so strange though as it doesn’t always turn in and...

I’m in the UK, I have 5 Aylesbury ducks in a pen indoors, they are 10 weeks old, a couple of them have started to pant but it’s only in the evening. The current indoor temperature is 68F is this too hot for them? The problem is the outside temperature has been dropping on and off down to 26F in...

Hi everyone, I have an Aylesbury Duck aged 8 weeks old, she is eating, drinking, preening normally no signs she is unwell at all. I was just concerned that she seems to sit down quite a bit more than my other ducks. She doesn’t have any problems getting up or walking around. I’ve checked over...
