I’m sorry, it was a crazy month with a lot of other stuff going on, I’m sorry I wasn’t able to post before now with an update :( I’m going to add some strudel pictures to show you guys how he’s grown!
STRUDELS A BOY! Strudel wasn’t sick he’s got his new quack! :barnie:th:he:eek::idunno We ordered sexed female ducks from Metzer farms and our saxony strudel is a drake. So now we have 2 drakes and two ducks :he Are we going to have issues now?
She’s on all flock feed, treats of corn and peas and some treats of cat food. Broccoli and cabbage the other day, and grass in their run. This morning her crop was empty ( didn’t feel anything, both sides feel soft and meaty I guess how I’d explain it lol) Felt the same as daisy another duck, my...
Yeah that’s Red. My Bf has a flock of 5 chickens that got attacked and she was the survivor. That’s what inspired us to get more birds so she wouldn’t be alone. I finally got a poop picture from strudel. She’s drinking and hanging with the other ducks but mainly standing in the sun with her eyes...
I agree, we weighed her the other night so we have a baseline. She just gobbled up a handful or cat treats and is drinking water, swimming, preening. It’s been INCREDIBLY muddy with the amount of rain we’ve had and we were not as prepared as we thought we were and it’s been incredibly muddy. How...
I’m almost convinced it’s something in her throat but I can’t feel anything. This is how she’s sitting with her neck today. Should we try giving her more olive oil?
Hi! No still no baytril, I’m hoping it gets her tomorrow. Her eye is totally normal again so other than her hoarse voice she’s acting fine. Eating, drinking, playing in the water. We were afraid maybe she had something stuck in her throat and massaged what felt like something after giving her...
Thank you so much for taking the time to help me and my flock. I ordered the Baytril last night so hopefully it will be here in a couple of days. Should I bring strudel and her sister into the garage with a heat lamp for the next few days until the antibiotic comes? I’m worried about her...
Yeah I know it’s tough to hear but when she’s putting her face in the camera there’s some of her little raspy sounds. That was the best video I could catch all day bc my EXTREMELY loud daisy doodle is usually wherever I am and she makes it really hard to catch strudels voice with my lovely...
so if you listen closely you’ll vaguely hear strudels hoarse quacks. Good news is she is leaving her eye open now and at the end of the video, being the doll that she is) she looks straight at the camera so you can see the red I’m talking about too. Let me know if I should be worried!!
Why thank you! I love the names of your saxony! Too cute. I too am very attached to my girls ( and Donald) and as soon as I notice something might be off, I then go into my analytical “mode” and immediately go into : First, identify the issue, 2nd look up any possible causes or explanation, 3rd...
