Ok thank you I will do that.

So Scar's wound has healed up nicely. I have reintroduced him back with his mom, dad and siblings. Things seems to be ok. He is happier now! I have a question though. The father picks the babies up by the back of the neck. Is this normal or is he being aggressive towards them? TIA for any advice.

Duckling seems to be doing good. I separated it from the rest the same day, keeping it in the house cleaning the wound every day. I think I got cut on a peice of chicken wire. I have it a little stuffed cat to keep it company. Snuggles close it it and is much calmer.

Unfortunately I do not have a vet that deals with ducks. They are Indian Runners.

They are Indian Runners

I just have to add that I am so excited that after 1 year and 3 failed attempts, Jae Jae hatched 9 babies!

Question my 3 day old duckling got cut on it's head. I have cleaned the wound and applied Neosporin. I have it inside under a heat lamp. Acting normal, eating, drinking and chriping.I tried to close the wound,but it will not close. I think you can see it's skull. Is there anything else I should...

It is with a sad heart that I am posting this. She has kicked all the eggs out of the nest and broken them open, they were all rotten. No babies for us I can only hope that the next time we will have babies.

Ok here is a strange thing. We figured out that my female is sitting on 10 eggs and for the last 5 days she has brought out 5 eggs (one each day) from the nest and has dropped them on the ground breaking them open. They are foul smelling and have this disgusting liquid looking stuff inside of...

No I do not have an incubator as I was not ever planning on hatching any eggs...My daughter joined 4-H and I thought this could be a learning experience for her. I am prepared if things go down hill after they hatch though. Her food and water are just inches from where she has laid and She was...

My female has been sitting on a clutch of about 7 eggs for 6 days now, I have not seen her off the nest. Should I be worried about her not eating? I have also read that Runners are not good mothers should I be worried?

I have been given the opportunity to get 2 Rouen Ducklings not sure of the sex of them I currently have 2 Runners going on 1 year old a drake and duck. My question is would the Runners and the Rouens get along when they are old enough to be outside? Thanks in advance for any advice.

Thank you all for the information about spots on the bills. I was a little worried until I read everything you guys posted!! You guys are a really great source of information for new owners!!

Thanks I will make sure they have oyster shells available.

I have a question Jae Jae our female has spots on her beak. I thought it may have been mud or algae, but they will not wipe off and I am not sure if this is normal or if I should be worried. Picture

I have a quick question. When do runners start to lay eggs? My runners are 5 1/2 months old and started mating toward the end of August. We do not have any eggs yet should I be worried about my female cuz they mate like rabbits. Thanks

I have a question. My male runner Jace sounds hoarse and has for about 2 weeks. I have added grit for 2 weeks also and he is not getting any louder. He is eating and acting normal other than his voice. Should I be worried? Is there anything I can do? Thanks for advice in advance. Cassie
