    What is wrong with my duck?

    My duck has been breathing like this for a week now and it seems to get worse then it’ll be better but I’m worried now she isn’t going to make it. Could it be aspergillus exposure? I have 1 other duck and 5 chickens that are all perfectly fine. What can I do to help her?

    Age related wet feather - how do I fix this?

    Hey y'all, I'm worried about my houseduck Wobbles. He turned 11 this year and he's got some issues going on, he's developed cataracts in both eyes and he's generally slowed down a bit. But for the last couple weeks or so, he's been suffering from pretty severe wet feather. His oil gland is just...

    My drake is a jerk

    I had 4 chickens, a female Peking duck and a male Roen. Everything was fine. This group was raised together and free range on a fenced in half acre. Recently I added 2 lavender orpingtons and 2 Easter eggers, born around May. One day shortly after I discovered one of the lavenders had feathers...

    Whoops..

    Well, I clearly have not been keeping as good of an eye on my ducks as I thought. Someone has been very sneaky. I’m not even sure how they did it, either, as my ducks usually only have access to the coop overnight. Conditions must’ve been just enough for this little one. As of 2 days ago, we...

    Duck ID please

    I have this male that I am trying to identify breed. When he molts he does not have the stripes on his face like a Rouen or mallard. He also does not have blue on his wings. He is small in size compared to the Rouen that we do have. Thanks for any help!

    Flock Party Duck Feeder?

    Hi again! Has anyone used or had experience with the “Flock party duck feeder” 7lbs? This specific feeder has no lid… which is great for top filling, less great if you’re trying to keep rodents out. Has anyone made a make-shift lid that has served the purpose? I use open pans right now, but...

    Protecting Pond Aerator

    My ducks keep knocking over the Aerator pump in their new pond. They'll all swim as fast as they can from one end of the pond to the other and the wake they leave flips the pump over. The pump's instructions say to put it on a brick so it doesn't intake sludge from the bottom of the pond but...
