We just got a new coop and run for our duck and we are looking for suggestions on bedding for the coop and bedding for the run in the winter. In previous years we have used pine shaving for the coop and straw for the run and coop in the winter. We were thinking about using horse pellet bedding...
We just recently noticed our duckling is doing this. Does anybody know why? None of our other ducklings ever did this excessively. This duckling is actually pretty lucky to be with us. My girlfriend works overnight at Lowe’s and when the employees started coming in at 5 o’clock in the morning...

The nail bed doesn’t look infected. I ordered the stuff for tube feeding, but when do you tube feed? She ate a bit of mash last night, but won’t touch it today. We did get her to eat some peas today a good handful or two. But she can’t stay awake. We started baytril last night. Can the baytril...
