The new ducks have arrived! We have sectioned off their enclosure into two so they can see each other but not get at each other. Bee doesn’t seem thrilled, but I’m hoping she’ll warm up to them. I am wondering what type of duck this little white one is though. I was told she was a girl, so i’m...
So, I reached out to one of my friends to rehome Bee because I just could not find any adult ducks to adopt. She then told me that she actually has a surplus of ducks and would be more than happy to give me a couple. So now I have to tackle introducing them to each other.
My duck Honey tragically passed away today in a freak accident. Honey and Bee were my only ducks, they were raised together and attached at the hip. I’m not sure what to do. I know she needs more flock mates, but i’m not sure if i should get ducklings, or look for another adult duck. I also...
I have two female buff orphington ducks, both 10 months old. One is very sweet, she will follow me everywhere, wants to sit with me, and get love. The other one (Bee) is the complete opposite. She’s been a spitfire since day one, very loud, and not a fan of people. To this day, she still acts...
So, we figured it out. The ducks were inside today because they showed signs of wet feather. I gave them a bath in dawn soap and dried them off inside. However, we kept them inside today because it’s currently 105 in Arizona, and without their pool they overheat, and since they need to re-oil...
They get normal pelleted food and some mealworms. I do give them grit whenever i give them lettuce or anything else, but since I haven’t recently they have not had any.
My ducks have started pooping like this since this morning, it’s interesting because they’re just little balls of poop. There aren’t any worms in them, and the ducks are acting totally normal. Is this okay?
One of my ducks, Bee, is limping. She was fine this morning, but we noticed that at around dinner time she was hobbling around on one foot. I looked and the foot itself looked okay, she has one little brown spot on the bottom of it about the size of a poppy seed. I soaked her in epsom salt...
she’s doing quite a bit better. she has mostly been resting, and the swelling has gone down quite a bit. she’s not 100% yet, she doesn’t want to swim or play like she normally does, but everyday she is acting more and more like herself!
I woke up this morning to let my ducks out of their coop, when I saw that one of them had her head stuck. I immediately ran outside and got it out, but she’s pretty swollen all around her neck and her breathing is pretty labored. We are currently chilling inside away from the other duck, but I...
