    Runner duck got mated and injured! Help!

    My rouen had walking problems and they thought niacin was the issue. the vet suggested peas. I fed her entire cans of peas and brewers yeast and she is fine now. I don't know if that is the leg issue but it can't hurt.

    NIACIN IN DUCKS

    my rouen hen had a niacin deficiancy when she was a baby, the vet or the ag manager did not think she would live. I babied her and fed her cans of peas and brewers yeast and she is well today and walks fine. Will this make her more susceptible to another bout of this. When she was little...

    DUCK APPEARS SICK

    I was reading up on them and I am thinking maybe I have a mated pair. Maybe they are not two females at all. The one I thought was sick is getting lighter colored feathers and its head has a tint of green to it now. Maybe just by the luck of the draw, I got a male and female. There poop is...

    Sexing Rouen Ducks--6 weeks

    I just did a post that said DUCK LOOKS SICK I had what I thought was two females. One is twice the size as the other. When looking at photos of Rouens they both looked to be female. The large one has a raspy voice, like it is hoarse or something. Now I noticed that its feathering is getting...

    DUCK APPEARS SICK

    I have two Rouens I purchased as babies from TSC this spring. One grew to be huge, the other was always half the size. The tiny one the vet said would die. But I prayed for it and it is fine. The larger one has a raspy voice, the tiny one has a quack voice. Both look identical and when...

    FREE 2 DUCKS

    I'm crazy in love with ducks but I suppose I am destined never to be able to have any. My neighbor sprays his field and I have a life threatening allergy to the spray. When he sprays I must leave my home for 3-6 weeks until it goes away. I have no family and my home and pets are my...

    The Quack Shack

    That comment is so true. I saw these video's on youtube of a little boy and his duck. It made me want one, and I so very much fell madly passionately in love with ducks.

    Duckling sits too much

    No it does not shake at all. They got peas yesterday and today, I ordered some brewers yeast. They climb all over me when we go outside. I lay in the grass while they play but they always come over and climb under my arms for shade and safety I suppose. I lap it up, because i like to cuddle...

    Are there 'runt' ducks?

    I did talk to the vet, she suggest brewers yeast however neither she nor the feed store manager gave much hope for it to live. I gave them peas yesterday and today. I ordered some yeast. feed guy did not offer a probiotic for them, he did not act like he had one.

    Duckling sits too much

    No I have not No, I have not noticed that. Only that the one is smaller, appears skinnier (but eats as much as it wants), walks to the water and then sits to drink, sits a lot, swims and dives and is active in 4-6 inches of water but keep on foot on the bottom except when diving. Its an odd...

    Are there 'runt' ducks?

    The one on the right is smaller, they are now almost two weeks and have grown but it is still smaller and actually feels boney too. Is there something I can give it to give it a boost or could it be that it is a female and the other a male?

    Are there 'runt' ducks?

    I bought two rouen ducklings that came from the same tank at Tractor Supply. The one duckling is so much smaller almost half the size of the other. It is also the one that sits all the time, walks to the water and then sits to drink. Paddles in the swimming tub of water but keeps one foot on...

    Duckling sits too much

    Not that I have noticed but I will watch for it and give some clover and grass heads and dandelions for them to pick at. I just cannot help but suspect something is wrong because he walks to the water sits and then drinks while the littler one will stand and drink. He is also a bit more...

    Duckling sits too much

    It is speculated that they are mallards per a hatchery that I sent their photo to. I just adore them. They sleep right beside me at night and stay in the foyer in a bin during the day, they get to swim once a day and go outside and play in the grass once a day when the sun is shining. I am a...
