    Will do! I like adding paper towels and grocery bags! Heavy knows you'll need it just for how much they poop!

    Duck First Aid Kit!

    I'm currently working on pulling together a comprehensive first aid kit to have at the ready should any of my ducks need it! But first, I wanted to share this embroidered patch I made for my kit! It's going to be ironed-on to a small backpack I got for this project. I adore how it turned out...

    Runt duckling not growing?

    Sadly my runt ended up passing away. Thank you everyone for your advice. I hope I can implement it successfully for any future runts I might have

    Runt duckling not growing?

    I have a runt of a duckling who I swear has not grown a millimeter since it hatched. Is there any reason this might happen? Is this something that can be addressed in some way from my side of things? I know it has been eating and drinking just fine. It shows no other signs of illness. It's just...

    Interchangeable Lofted Drake Jail / Duck-Maternity Ward Design Help

    Hmm... the loops idea is catching my attention, perhaps combining that concept with ropes/pulleys... perhaps even counterweights to make moving the door up and down effortless... There's potential there! Just needs some finagling! Thank you!

    Interchangeable Lofted Drake Jail / Duck-Maternity Ward Design Help

    I'm working on partitioning my modified gazebo to have two sections that interchangeably open or close to form a drake jail above on the shelf, and a nesting area (I like to jokingly call it a duck maternity ward) below. In the above example, you can see the gazebo without the roof/ceiling. The...

    Solved A question if a post would be permissible or not for "buy sell trade" or any other site section.

    Hi BYC staff, I had a quick question about if a topic would be allowed on here. I had a concept for a product that might appeal to other bird owners. I don't have anything to "sell" yet, just a concept, but I am hoping to measure interest and possibly offer the product at-cost to any interested...

    Attempting to save a cracked egg

    Sorry for the delay in update, life gets busy. Ended up with 20 other ducklings to care for. Anyways, sadly I gave the egg as much time as I could and it showed no signs of further development and finally the blood vessels disappeared and there started to be a faint smell. It also started to...

    Attempting to save a cracked egg

    You make a good point about the size. I don't think it has increased visually over the last couple days. Not a good sign 😞

    Attempting to save a cracked egg

    Late day 5 update: I tried getting a better picture to show the veins in question that I thought I could see. And I have to say, I do this this little one is still alive. I'm like... 75% positive of that. The veins are still red, as though moving fresh blood. Ointment mixture protocol is...

    Attempting to save a cracked egg

    It's on day 18/28. I haven't seen any obvious movement, but it also isn't sloshing. All the signs seem contradictory at the moment, hence my unwillingness to give up yet. The state of the veins (the new small ones, and big ones that are still holding their shape even if it is a touch muddled)...

    Attempting to save a cracked egg

    Early day 5 update: I may have to call this lil thing Schrodinger's egg, because I cannot tell if it is dead or alive yet. Upon examination, I can clearly see new gossamer veins through parts of the egg where they were not at previously, and the bigger veins have not disintegrated yet (as other...

    Attempting to save a cracked egg

    Day 4... I'm a little apprehensive. This evening, checking on the egg, I couldn't see any movement and things are a little less clear today. I applied the ointment mixture, but I don't think it's looking good. I'm just not ready to give up hope yet. I moved this little one over to a separate...

    Attempting to save a cracked egg

    Day 3 update! I can confirm my little egg is a survivor so far! Strong veins, a strongly delineated air sac, and... MOVEMENT! This little duck hasn't given up yet! And neither will I! I wish I could share a video of the movement, but I'm not sure how to add that on this forum. I have...
