I want to say THANK YOU to everyone for the help with Ducky. I hate to say this but Ducky died this afternoon.:hit She was as comfortable as I could make her, sitting in my lap. She just would not eat or drink anymore. Again thank you everyone.
It started out a little over a week ago. I thought she got chilled(the temps dropped from the 90s to the 60s suddenly). So when I felt under her wings her body was cooler than normal. I brought her in the house and kept her warm. The wierd part was her head drooped when she was old. Well she got...
Thank you all so much! I will give all of those a try. The whole time I have been on here I was holding her in lap and letting her drink water. When I put her back in her carrier she was holding her head back up and wanted her applesauce. So maybe by morning she will be some better again:fl. I...
I know that the feed isn't affecting any of the other 5 ducks. I do have peas. I have been feeding her applesauce to keep her strength up and she was doing 100 percent better until I gave her the mash. She does have plenty of water and she was isolated from the others in case she was sick. She...
:hitDucky has not been feeling well and she staedy improved until I gave her her usual food laying mash. Her head started drooping again:hit. We feed purina layer. Can someone please suggest something I an feed her that won't make her sick?
Ducky has been not feeling well and she was improving Steady. I gave her her normal laying mash about 10 min ago:fl and her head is drooping again:hit. I think it might be the food because she was fine. We feed purina layer. Can someone please tell me some feeds to feed ducky that won't make her...
Thanks to everyone! She is still doing very good! She is still eating and drinking! The :lovetemperature here is still kind of cool so she will probobly be in the house at least another day or two. She is going to be so spoiled she may not want to go back out. THANKS AGAIN EVERYONE!
Well I left her in the carrier all day today. I left her with plenty of water and applesauce and she is improving even more! Thank you God! We will wait and see how she is tomorrow. I talked with a friend that had a duck a while ago that got too hot. She said the actions were very similar to...
Thank you:fro:frow To let you know I have kept her in the house and she seems to be doing better. She's eating applesauce and drinking water. She seems to be improving.
Well I went and checked on her and again she's acting fine. I gave her some applesauce to eat and she chowed down on it. She drank all of her water overnight. I gave her more of that too. I think I'm going to give her electrolytes to get her more strength back. As far as her body temperature she...
No we have a special pen for our ducks. Thanks for letting me know about the mushrooms though. I noticed today that when the sun starts going down she gets worse so I bring her in the house and keep her in a pet carrier. she still acts funny for a little while but by morning she is just fine...
We have 6 in total. All the rest of them are fine except for the one. I think I just heard her sneeze a little bit ago. I'm going to try to give her some electrolytes. I might try the poultry rx medicine . It says it's for ducks too. It's for colds and other conditions. I have looked everywhere...
My son raised this duck(her name is ducky). She is acting weird. She got in the pool playing whe it was hot and I had just put fresh water in it. I think the water may have been too cold. She is still eating and drinking but she drops her head and her body temperature is either cool or getiing...
My son raised this duck from a duckling. We got her for him for easter this year. She is a mallard. We have to put them up in a building at night because something got in the pen and killed both our males. We got the girls out the next day and put fresh water in the pen. All of them played in...
Thank you so much for the advice. This is our first time having ducks and we are really enjoying them. We have had chickens alot but I am finding out reading about ducks how different they are. I know how to introduce chickens but ducks are a whole new game. I will try that and see if it works...
We bought 3 ducklings for our son for Easter this year. He raised them all very successfully. We figured out that we had 3 girls so we bought him a drake this past weekend. He's close to the same age as our girls. We put him in with them the next day. They are still picking on him today and I...
