We have had a couple racoons and opossum, but they go after my feed, not the ducks. I haven't seen a predator since early spring! They are so spoiled

The aerator is grounded properly.. I think the sound is what freaked them out originally Now when it if off, it just is floating and they still won't even look at it.

Hello! So I have a pretty large pond in my backyard and I have 9 ducks. They all range from a couple years to 4 months old. I just bought an aerator to place in their pond so they will have better a quality pond and I live in Michigan so I won't have to worry about them too much in the winter...

The girl who fell in the bucket is walking again! She has a little limp but can run away from me lol. The other duck has a gimp leg. She has always had the gimp leg since we adopted her. I am so so happy she is back to her new normal :) Here are the ladies in the pond yesterday! They are loving...

That is such a great idea!! I have been researching all different ways on how to give them a heated water bucket back.. I literally bring them water out and stay there while they bathe and drink. Then I will take the bucket away! I am too afraid she will get stuck again.

My lady is doing SO MUCH BETTER!! She has moved back outside with her sister that also has a gimp leg. I have two gimpy girls now. She is still learning on how to get herself around. I am debating on getting a small duck house to put closer to my pond so they won't have to walk so far. I am so...

She is doing ok.. Still isn't walking on her own yet. It was raining here today and I brought her out in a puddle so she could splash. I am going to try to give her a semi warm bath tonight to maybe help her joints. She will stand longer than yesterday! She is very happy I brought her sister...

I do have an XL dog crate. She could have been in the bucket of water anywhere from 12-24 hours. I check on them daily. I thought I could see her from the house in the coop in the morning, but it could have been her sister. She can stand now, but is very wobbly. She tried to run away from me but...

I will add grit to her diet. Both of my girls are not currently laying eggs. What do the crushed oyster shells do?? I haven't done that either

The only niacin supplement they get is in the Purina Duck Pellets. Should I give them extra niacin? Can they receive too much niacin? I also gave her electrolites in her water. Thank you! I am in love with these two girls I adopted with the house and pond. The picture of her in the tote with...

She was bought as a duckling by a teenager behind my house. They didn't know what to feed the ducklings and gave her bird seed... She almost died from niacin deficiency. They also didn't know she needed water.. She needed to learn how to swim... The house association wouldn't let them keep the...

She eats Purina duck pellets, and scratch grains daily. Then I give her all the special treats some days. She does seem "off balance" when I try to stand her up on her feet.

She did fully recover from the severe niacin deficiency! We had to teach her how to swim as well. She had a rough road already and I refuse to give up on her! I will bring in her sister so they can be warm and happy together. I will reach out to local vets to see if they have any openings, just...

She is breathing normally, eyes open and alert. Yes she was VERY waterlogged :( It was about 37 degrees Farenheit when I found her stuck in the bucket. She is loving her pellets still. I will try to get her favorite foods now. I didn't even think of that! My other lady has a gimp leg as well...

I believe she is 3-4 years old. She was owned originally by a young teenager who fed her just bird seed.. She almost died from niacin deficiency when she was a duckling... The picture of her floating in the tote was last evening before I dried her off. The other two are currently. I did add...

Hello I am a new duck owner. One of my ducks decided to get herself stuck in the 2 gallon heated water bucket. I do not know how long she was stuck in there. Possibly a full day... She is now not standing or walking... I took her inside and dried her off. I looked over both legs and feet well...

Please help!!! I moved into a new home in the fall and the home came with two special needs ducks. Yesterday I went to check on them and I found one of them stuck in the 2 gallon heated water bucket. I brought her inside, dried her off and gave her fresh water. Once she warmed up and dried off...
