    I have two sweet rouen males, 4 months old, that need a home. I ended up with a bad number of males to females, unfortunately. These two have only ever known each other and are pretty bonded. It's heartbreaking to part with them and I really want to make sure they'll go to a good home. I'm...

    Why is my duck losing his feathers?

    I was working with my ducks and went to catch one of them. I turned around and tripped on another one. After that he is losing feathers under his wings. The feathers look kind of like they are broken off. What could be wrong with him? Could tripping over him make him lose feathers? He is also...

    My juvenile khaki campbell fell while running away from me and now she can't stand up correctly

    This happened a few minutes ago, after letting them swim for a while it seemed too cold so I tried taking them back to the crate where I keep them. She suddenly started running and tripped, thankfully the floor didn't touch the neck but she fell on one of her paws. There's no blood, twists or...

    What breed and gender could this duck be?

    I got him/her (the one in question, which I hope is a male) and a female khaki Campbell a few weeks ago from a popular breeder in my area. They were at least 1 week old when I bought them, and my guess is that they are about four weeks at the moment. He/her quacks harshly when separated from the...

    My FEMALE duck has grown a MALE tail curl!

    As the title says, my female duck has just grown a curly tail feather like all drakes have! I know that she is female because of her deep quack and most of all I have seen her lay an egg with my own eyes. When it first began growing I thought maybe it was just an out of place feather but today...

    Our first winter!

    Today we saw snow for the first time, which was all wet because of the day's rain. We loved it! We followed our mommy around the big muddy puddles and ate snow... We even saw a little snowman.

But this week he has completely switched personalities. He has been relentlessly chasing my other ducks and pulling out their feathers. He'll grab...

    Is CBD safe?

    Last night a raccoon grabbed my Pekin drakes leg and tried pulling him through the fencing we have. He is limping pretty badly but nothing seems to be broken and he doesn't have any cuts or bite marks. Im planning on bringing him in and giving him a nice warm soak in the bath. My mom suggested...
