    Are my ducks okay?

    Hi, I noticed today while cleaning out their pen that my ducks have a red rash looking thing on their wings and under their necks. Any clue as to whether they hurt themselves or it’s a natural feathering process? Should I take them to the vet immediately? Thanks.

    Blister/bump on duckling bill?

    This is my baby duck Lucy, she's a month old, and today I noticed a bump on her bill. It looks different from the other "bump" posts on here, so I was wondering if duck people could just take a look? I don't know if I should do anything. Vet is not an option-bird is half pet/half livestock...

    Question for those Duck keepers out there, who know a lot about Ducklings & Ducks. Am I able to give Ducklings and Ducks sand as grit, I watched a video that a farmer said he uses regular sand, but then they also have grit at the store that you can get for them, so I'm just a little puzzled...
