I had my drake run after my cayuga ducklings and chomp on their blood feathers this week. It screamed and I was already running. I honestly smacked him. I know I didn’t hurt him but it pissed me off.
He’s now in jail. My females from different “flocks” are decent to each other if I remove my...
Oh no poor baby. That’s just awful. I’m glad you were there to save her. I bet she knew you saved her also.
Do you have any fish oil capsules? Or fish, flax, and borage oil capsules? If you put those in her food, she will make more oil. Which I understand she’s having difficulty putting her...
I’m sure all dogs are different, but my wiener dog thought all the ducklings were her babies. She’d pick them up and bring them back to her. Just to have them run off again. She was a good Momma.
@Patrick McKee Im so glad the closing of this week has turned out so well for you. Congratulations on raising such a high achieving child!!:clap:clap:clap
I’ll pm you about the cayugas.;)
I woke up this morning hoping she was doing better!:celebrate:weeIm so glad she is doing better!
What do her wounds look like Patrick? I’d be a little worried the infection would come back if she went to the pond. Can you catch her easily? What do you think? How many days did your friend say to...
I sure wish I lived closer. I would help you with her.:hit I just know she’s gonna make it. Seriously stop beating yourself up.:hugs If it wasn’t for you, she would be dead by now. She is so blessed to have you. She’s in the small percentage of ducks that are pampered. She will get back to...
It’s not very often they will attack when you bring a friend in. Mine have never done that. How could you have known. Sometimes when we are healing we get worse before we get better.
I’m pretty sure casportpony has suggested Ensure before. It’s high calorie. But baby parrot formula might be better. I don’t have any experience with it.
Yes and she can see them now and be right up close if she wants to. Which I bet makes her feel a lot better.
I have two Pekins cooped up right now in a pen like yours. One is the friend and the other hurt her ankle. But the only way for such a hefty bird to get her swelling to go down is not to...
I don’t think that’s super unusual. She’s probably not used to staying up on the porch and away from her flock. Plus with the attack, she’s on high alert. Sounds like you are right on track.
It’s a great sign she’s trying to preen and at least drinking. By now I’m sure you’ve researched tube...
