    Need advice for my duck

    Hi I have a a duck about 3 weeks old. I started him on chick grit about two days ago and the first day I started him, that night, he fell on his back and started shaking.

    Help! Oral antibiotics vs smart pekin!

    Hayhei was taken to the vet yesterday because he sounds hoarse. The vet believes, after seeing nothing in X-rays and having great health otherwise, that he aspirated at some point and there's most likely an infection. He gave me oral antibiotics and told me to mix it in with his favorite things...

    I came home today and my female welsh harlequin duck who’s a little under a year old was laying in the kiddie pool. I was wondering why she didn’t run away when my 3 year old cousin ran up to to her try and pet her. Turns out she can’t walk. All she will do is lay on the ground with her legs...

    Calling all duck poop experts! Black duck poop!

    I've seen this in the coop here and there, and most of the time when I see it, it's more of a chocolate syrup poop (from what I understand this is normal). Anyway, today I found poop that was syrupy and nearly BLACK. I mixed in some water to check the color of it, and there's no red in it at all...

    My male Pekin duck

    My male Pekin duck Donald seems a little weak. He has a soft low quack and his tail and bottom seem a bit down. He keeps just falling to the ground, as if he were exhausted. He gets up quickly but seems down. He eats fine and bathes well but sometimes seems just a little off. Does anyone know...

    Sick duck?

    I purchased four, day old duckings February 25th. Three are now very healthy, 100% covered in feathers. Except for one. It was always a bit smaller, but never by much. I try not to handle the ducklings as I've always got filthy hands by the time I get to them to do chores. About four days ago...

    Scabby, Dirty Ducks

    This spring, we decided to try our hand at backyard ducks. We don't have a HUGE yard, but we built a house and a run for our two fawn and white indian runners. They are a bit nervous, but can be handled and eat out of our hands. As the weeks went on, it became apparent that we have two males :(...
