    My little mallard duck, Rowan, flew over the fence divider between my two flocks today 😬 Her flock loves her, but my second flock are three times as big and don’t like her at all.

    Recently a fox got into our backyard and killed one of our ducks and injured the other, a little over a year old khaki Campbell.

    Nose bleed and strange behaviour in my duck

    Hello! My appleyard female (about a year old) has been acting strangely. I found her this morning with a bleeding nose. One of the nostrils is totally clogged and I can’t seem to get the dried blood out, but the other is clean enough for her to breathe. Also, her droppings are a little strange...

    Injury on female’s side

    Any guesses on what could have caught her side? I noticed the bloody patch this AM when I let her out. I have to get ready for work, so I can’t investigate. I’m thinking maybe there’s some hardware cloth poking in, but it would be much higher on her. Any suggestions from the BYC crew? Could her...

I separated her into a pen, and monitored her for a week. I started doing water therapy with her, but it...

    Sick duck?

    2 days ago my rouen started acting weird, it stopped being loud and it would gag. Now, it's starting to have seizure like movements, like falling down and then act like nothing happened seconds after. I read that it is possible that a duck does that when they have something stuck in their throat...

    Hi there, I have a 3 month old Pekin girl that got herself stuck in the water bucket. It could have been 5-6 hours that she was in the freezing cold water in 30* weather.

She suddenly started running and tripped, thankfully the floor didn't touch the neck but she fell on one of her paws. There's no blood, twists or...

    Injured duck, what is wrong with her?

    Does anyone know what’s wrong with my duck? The last couple days she hasn’t been acting right. Once in a while she will flap her wings and walk a little with the wings out and then sit down. Her legs and flippers are very warm too. Thank you
