Earlier today I noticed my duck was in the pool as he usually is but he was just staying in one spot and when i checked on him later in the night he was still there. I got him out of the water but he would either walk slow or didn't want to walk at all. I had noticed that his tail was moving up...
My 2 week old duckling has these red marks on his wings and I’m not sure if it’s normal or not, he’s been acting totally fine, healthy appetite, playful etc, the only thing I did notice is the redness and the constant biting and scratching..he’s kept in his brooder with fresh pine bedding and a...
Hi all!
I had a runt pekin.. we got 3 at the same time, and the runt is just now taking off.

So today, I ran to the store...
Blue, my one year old male jumbo pekin duck, has a lump on his back. It's bigger than the size of an egg, and it's causing him discomfort. He is struggling to get up and walk because he is doing a gagging motion. He is also nibbling on the lump. I checked under his feathers and i don't see...
Hi, So I was walking outside and I found one of our ducks away from the other ducks and she was slow when I was catching her. (Because I knew something was probably wrong) So I looked around on her and found to what looked like a solidified poop thing in her vent sticking out, so I thought I...

Hello everyone. Can anyone help me? Ducky, our duck, has a problem with his foot...it was a year ago that he started limping...we noticed his right knee was larger that the other one. Then a veterinarian told us that he could take some medicine and vitamins....he got well but after that it...
My family bought some ducklings in early June. They were all growing really well up and staying at the same sizes until about a week ago we noticed one that is severely falling behind. This duckling eats and drinks the same amount as the other ducks, however, it's poop has gotten very green. The...

About 7 month ago my duck had a small odd growth that kept growing untill it was pretty big, then one day I went out to check on the ducks when it had just fallen off and left a hole. I thought it was a good thing and that it could finally heal but it just won't heal. It stayed as a black scab...
