You know, I think that hormonal changes might explain it. I would think she is about that age. Thanks everyone, I feel a lot better about it. The spots look very much like the ones in the picture. And that would also make sense, since my drake is not getting them. Thanks again.
One of my part Muscovy, Part Pekin ducks has developed green spots on her bill in the last couple of days, has anyone ever encountered this? I am worried she has some sort of fungal infection and I am not sure what to do about it.
I am concerned for one of my two ducks who has in the last few days developed some green spots on her bill. They almost look natural, but that is just not right? Is it some sort of fungal infection? Should I be putting her on some kind of medication?
Wow, really? Sounds like I am fighting a loosing battle here if that is the case. I think I am fighting a loosing battle at this point anyway, because it has been going on for so long that I don't think there is any coming back from it now anyway. Very interesting , thanks.
I just got a new duck last weekend, not quite mature. The woman who I bought her from told me she had been handled quite a bit, but I don't buy it because she seems wild as can be and quite scared of me. Is there a treat I can feed her that would make her realize that I am her friend and not...
So I have a duck that can't walk because her legs are so weak. I have tried everything from niacin pills, brewer's yeast, milk, vitamins, new feed. But I am wondering if the fact that for some reason she seems to still have some yellowy down (along with feathers) on the upper neck and top of...
As so many others I see here I too am very sad to have lost my favorite chicken two days ago (lost my other two within the week, but I was not attached to them, they were always scared of people). I buried what the predator had left of her last night in a tearful little ceremony with my toddler...
Thank you all very much for all your help. I am trying to locate a place that sells brewer's yeast now, and Purina Flock raiser. I have put niacin caplsules into the water, but maybe there is something different about the brewer's yeast. It is worth a shot. I'm sure it is not an injury, and...
Hi! My name is Dawn. I have three Pekin ducks and a week ago I had three chickens. My poor chickens have fallen prey to something small enough to get into my coop. I am very sad to have lost the last one, which I had for some time and was very friendly and talked to me and my toddler son. I...
I have three Pekins, one is fine, but the others have terrible leg weakness and can't walk. They are about three months old, and this has been going on for at least a month and a half while I have tried various things hoping for a solution. When they were still growing all three of them came...
