    Why did my duck act like she’d lay an egg soon but ended up not laying?

    She’s even trying to sleep now. I’m happy she seems fine, but I’m worried she may be egg bound. Still, she seems pretty good to me. Her tail is a little droopy, but it’s been like that for sometime now and her eyes are quite awake when she looks at me, so I don’t think she feels unwell. She...

    Please help! Why did yellow liquid come out of my duck’s vent while she was laying?

    Is this normal? What could cause this? A good amount of yellow liquid came out while she was laying. The liquid smelled and looked like pee. There wasn’t anything sticky in it and she’s acting fine though. Her poop is usually dark brown because of her main feed and it’s often dry. It’s been...

    Please help! My duck is vomiting food and constantly shaking her head!

She seemed to feel a little better after that, but shortly later, she was unable to eat and...

    How can I help my duck get better with niacin deficiency?

    We bought her nutritional yeast yesterday and gave her water, but we don’t know whether we’re supposed to let her walk and play like usual or if resting more will help her recover. We’ll also cook some niacin rich foods for her to help her get better quickly, but other than that, is there any...

    Help! I think my duck doesn't have enough niacin in her body and she can’t walk now, what do I do??

    She’s very weak and she can’t walk very well. She keeps falling and stumbling. This just started happening today. She occasionally shakes her head every hour or few and she’s starting to lose her appetite. She’s not as energetic or awake as usual, but she doesn’t seem very tired anymore...

    Please help! Why does my duck keep shaking her head with her mouth open?

    It’s been two days already and it keeps happening. I don’t think anything is stuck in her mouth, but maybe her own tiny feathers? She hasn’t left the house for some days, so she couldn’t have found food from outside. It’s only started happening recently. She’s a Pekin duck and one years old...
