    Sick duck - can't walk, nostril discharge... is it bumblefoot or something else?

    He passed away within about 24 hours of presenting symptoms. 😢 We tried feeding him some vitamin supplement for the niacin (he mostly wouldn't swallow it). During the rhythmic gasping you could see the glottis wide open, and he wasn't producing any vocal sounds. Not sure what to do with this...

    Sick duck - can't walk, nostril discharge... is it bumblefoot or something else?

    Doing some more Googling and maybe it's toxoplasmosis??? More common symptoms in younger ducks, and one of the symptoms is that they flip over onto their back? There are cats that roam through the same yard as the ducks play in.

    Sick duck - can't walk, nostril discharge... is it bumblefoot or something else?

    They eat Purina Duck feed + whatever they can find in the yard. I know, people have mixed feelings about Purina, but it's supposed to have the right amount of Niacin, right? Am I supposed to be giving them more? I rolled him back over and he would immediately roll over onto his back. We did...

    Sick duck - can't walk, nostril discharge... is it bumblefoot or something else?

    I quarantined him we try to figure out what to do, and he's back to just laying on his back quietly... 😢

    Sick duck - can't walk, nostril discharge... is it bumblefoot or something else?

    One of my ducks this morning (largest one, though <2 months old) was sitting very calm like a pancake while the others went out into their pool. I tried to see what was going on and he(?) started limping away. Could not fully stand up, and upon trying to waddle away, even fell over onto his back...

    Plans for designing new coop. Feed and watering.

    They found it pretty quick. Once you fill it up over the hole level, it becomes very easily visible even before sticking their head i. This was my first time trying the PVC waterers... I don't think I'm losing any to leaks. I have one "teen" duckling in there who wastes some of it no matter...

    Yet another Duckling ID

    Thanks Miss Lydia! I was also thinking some kind of Swedish but couldn't find matching markings. Very possible it's a mixed breed. There were a bunch of ducks (and geese and chickens) at the farm we got the eggs from, it was hard to keep track! But I definitely recall some mallards, pekins...

    Plans for designing new coop. Feed and watering.

    My coop is much smaller than yours, but I wanted something that works inside and out. I just recently got the same watering cups as you have coming out of your bucket, but I'm also trying these feed holes. So far they've been pretty good, and you can unload as much feed as your container allows...

    Yet another Duckling ID

    Hello! Does anyone know what type of duckling this might be? I can't find a perfect match on Google Images. The egg came from a barnyard mix where there were at least 10 breeds of duck. Hard to tell from the photo but the bill has almost symmetrical green areas on each side. Feet are 100%...
