My ducks need a new loving home. 1 male/female pair of Pekins, and 1 male/female pair of Khaki Campbells. Approximately 1.5 years old. Not laying currently but when they do I get 1-2 eggs per day. They are healthy and have never had any problems. Must stay together. I will deliver. No...
I'd be very interested in seeing the pics if you feel you're able to take them. Sorry it's come to this. It's a hard decision, do what you feel is best.
Straight run means they could be male or female, they are not sexed. (Just FYI)
Maybe you could post a few pics, to let the more experienced gauge the age of the bird, and maybe of its bottom?
My cat had the tilted head and wobbly walking, the vet said it was a vestibular thing. In her case she eventually recovered. Could be neurological, could be a lizard they ate, I suppose it could be poison, but it's good that it's eating. Good luck, I hope it turns out ok.
Hi Shellie, my ducks are doing good, and I saw that picture you posted and saw the Pekin. I'm glad he's doing good. I ended up giving the new babies to Jamie. It was kind of a crazy time for me and just couldn't handle them too. How are your new babies doing?
Hi, thanks for the replies. I have 2 drakes also. I'm in Florida and while we are generally warmer, I will take that into consideration. Just tossing the idea around at this point. Thanks.
Duckielub, can you put a piece of cloth or paper towel loosely over top the gray egg, just in case it is bad so the "explosion" is contained somewhat? Will that affect the egg if it's still good?
Pegram, I'm sorry I didn't mean to imply that what you did was wrong. From the posts that I've read on here, it seemed like freezing was 1 possible way to do it, and I'd be more likely to do that than decapitation. I just find the topic interesting (sad, but interesting). Hugs to you. This...
If it is rat poison, I believe the antidote is Vitamin K, but I'm not sure how much or where you would get that other than a vet. Oh, and that antidote is for people and dogs, I'm assuming it's the same for chickens.
I've been very curious about this. I've been lucky and have not needed to cull any so far. I know the day might come when an adult is sick or badly injured. I've been thinking about hatching out a few ducklings too. I'm not sure what I'd do, but I don't think I can handle the decapitation...
