    I have had a very bad run with my poor Cayuga Ducklings, so I want to be sure before giving them anything I'm not certain will help or worse, hurt them. Being in Australia, its incredibly difficult to find any of the specific supplement brands often brought up here for Ducks. So I was hoping for...

    Hello! I have a week old duckling with an injured beak. I was taking her outside on a nice sunny day, keeping her safe in my hands.

    Help! My duckling barely stands- will take 3 steps and fall forward and just lay there.

    I hatched 5 ducklings and one of them is not okay. He can take 2-3 steps and just falls forward like he’s too too heavy and will just lay there. The other ones are running around and are very lively. What do I do?! We are feeding them purina flock raiser crumbles and they have access to fresh water.
