    Runner Duck is acting weird and I'm worried. Is this normal?

    Hello, We have 4 female runner ducks that are just now 1 year old. One of the ladies started acting very strange and has now made it a regular habit. It's a bit concerning with the sudden behavior change. It seems to happen when there is a bit more excitement than usual so it's not all the time...

    Rescuing mallard duckling

    Hi, It’s been 6 weeks since my family took in a baby mallard (looked to be about 1-2 days). We found her parents roaming around our place and let the duckling go to them but they tried to snap at her neck. So, we took her back into the house. We tried looking up duck rescues around our area...

    Did my duck just upchuck a gizzard/grit stone (gastrolith)?

    He was just sitting there napping when he started to flex his neck and chest funny, then he began to shake his head and I caught the tail end on video of him ejecting a stone from his throat. I grabbed it to double check he was okay (he is!). The is super smooth like a gastrolith, but it doesn't...

    Ducks eating straw pellets

    Hey everyone, I’ve been using regular straw in my ducks’ coop but heard that straw pellets work great. I thought I’d try it. I just changed out their coop this morning with the new stuff. When I came back they were all hoovering the straw pellets down. Should I take it right out and go back to...

    Gender Reveal?

    Meet Pincess Peach (white and brown) and Princess Daisy. We bought these lovely ducks from tractor supply from a straight run bin. So the genders were a mystery as well as breed.

    Mud bathing duck?

    Is it normal for my duck to be mud bathing? She does it even when there's clean water right beside her. She deliberately spits water into a little hole she dug and just shoves her face into it. Khaki Campbell. Also the only duck I have that does this.

    Duck swimming with tail down, flat on water.

    I had 3 new hens join my flock recently, and after some time to integrate, I noticed something about one of them. All my other ducks (mallards) swim with their tails perked upright and out of the water. However this lil lady is an odd one out. She doesn't lift her tail. It lays flat against the...

    About 10 days ago, out of the blue, my 1.5 year old Swedish blue hen started limping & didn't want to put much weight on her right leg. I did a quick bumblefoot inspection & didn't see anything alarming. I've never dealt with bumblefoot before, but after lurking here for a few years, I do think...

    I use Ivermectin Pour-On for mites and lice on my birds. I was wondering, can I use it for dogs? What would be the dosage? I was going to buy a flea collar for my new LGD, but if Ivermectin works, I can use that since I have it on hand. Also, does anyone use SafeGuard dewormer for horses on...

    The Hunt for Mystery Predator

    So I have had the occasional predator come through my electric fence and kill something. The first time it was something that came in and took off the heads of 6 quail. I realized it was because I left a tree standing that was accessible from the other side of the fence. I removed that tree and...
