    Please help! Why is my duck’s dropping light orange and white?

    She last ate mussels. We’ve been feeding her it regularly since we’re out of duck feed, but this has never happened before. I believe there isn’t any orange in mussels, so I’m not sure why she’s had an orange dropping or what it’s indicating. She’s also been shaking her head and generally...

    Hi all, my pekin/Aylesbury developed a limp around 6 days ago and there is significant swelling to the middle of her toe and what I would presume is the ‘ankle joint’.

    Did I kill my eggs?

    I have a new chick, I brought 5 home and there’s 4 others I previously had. But this one chick keeps crying (I assume) it’s a chirp, but a loud and upset sounding one that I only hear the other chicks make if they’re scared or get hurt, I’m not sure what to do. She eats and drinks, poops also...
