    I'm not sure if you're still looking, but I have khakis for sale. I have 1 month old ducklings, 2 1/2 month old juvenile ducks, & 2+ year old ducks. Both males & females of all. I'm from Hunlock Creek, Pa so it'd be about 2 1/2 hour drive one way from Gardners, Pa. Let me know if you're interested.

    Put her in a smaller brooder box with a couple friends and watch her. Dip her beak in water and see if she drinks and watch her to see if she if she eats. If you don't think she's eating or drinking put electrolytes and ACV in the water, you can also add water to the feed to make a mash that...

    Yay someone near me! Welcome! I start all our chicks, ducklings, etc in a clear plastic tub with a rag towel as the bedding/litter. For chicks I change the towel once a week. For waterfowl 1 towel usually lasts the first week, after that I have to change it every 3 days. When it gets too...

    Pomeranian geese are an old breed that was originally developed in Northern Germany for meat. This breed of goose was considered one of the best table birds in colonial times and used to produce smoked goose breast. There is only a handful of breeding flocks left and their status is considered...

    I just got some pics of our Pomeranian geese for a craigslist ad and decided to share them here. If anyone's in NEPA and interested in goose hatching eggs or eating eggs and me a PM. I threw some in the incubator with some Khaki Campbell duck eggs last week and they're all going strong and will...

    Two of our Pomeranian geese laid their first eggs today! :D The one on the right is from Morgana, the one on the left is from Luna. (The top one is a jumbo duck egg for comparison) Melody's the only one left who has to lay. :D

    So it's been about a month and no signs of anyone missing the duck that showed up here, so I guess he's staying for good. He's a small mallard (with the back toe cut to prove he's a domestic mallard) and looks to be between 7-9 months old. I guess someone must have had too many males and decided...

    Thanks for checking :) The DE seems to be taking care of it for now, but if the duck still has problems in a couple weeks I'll do the ACV or the dawn. It looks a whole lot better now, putting on some weight, looking shinier, and almost no scratching. It's not from any people I asked so I'm...

    On another note our Khaki Campbell ducklings hatched 5 days early. So far we got 3, not sure if the rest will hatch. I'm using a borrowed incubator that wasn't stored right, it has bug holes through it and his chihuahua's chewed on the corners. I'm surprised I was able to hatch anything in...

    Thanks. I already considered the dawn, but since it's not my duck I don't want to take away the waterproofing if it's feathers in case we find the owners and have them complain. I've also considered bathing it in ACV, but I'm not sure if that would mess with the waterproofing. If we haven't...

    Just found out that the other weird bugs on it are waterfowl lice (different from poultry/chicken lice) The only thing I can find online to get rid of them is chemical treatments. I try to stay as natural as I can with my birds and don't want to use chemicals on someone else's bird without their...

    Hi, I was wondering if someone could suggest some remedies for mites. I've never had any birds with mites before (except a couple free chickens and rooster we got from a friend's relative had scaly leg mites. They weren't that bad and we were able to get them to clear up quickly.) Someone's pet...

    You should try to look in their ears and see if there is black dirt looking stuff (an indication of ear mites, it's their feces), any sort of discharge (usually a reaction to an irritation, could be mites, particles of something, or an infection), or curd looking stuff (usually a bacterial...

    I would also be interested in pictures. I'm building an incubator, but it's mainly out of free stuff I've picked up (but I'm definitely buying a thermostat & a hydrometer new). It should hold about 4-6, 40 egg trays when finished which is plenty for me at the moment.

    Did her liver have a lot of fat in it (it would look yellowish gray), if so fatty liver could cause it to not function as well and may be the cause of her getting ascites. If you're worried about your other birds you could add cinnamon to their feed to increase blood flow and improve lung...
