Good morning everyone,
We have a 5 month female khaki Campbell that suddenly collapsed last night. She was on the porch with our other 3 ducks (1 other khaki Campbell and 2 Pekins) eating the wife’s fern plant when we shooed them off, but Bella just sat there and could not walk or stand.
We...
Hello friends,
I need help with a diagnosis and treatment for an adult female Muscovy duck.
She is a mom duck that has been coming to my house with her two babies the last couple months. However, three days ago I noticed her laying down in my front yard with her wings a little droopy, and when...
Hello I have a duck that is 9 years old and he's never had any issues for all 9 years but last few days he started to struggle to walk and is feeling little weak mostly sleeps he drinks water and eats but as eating he doesn't eat much we feed him with grain wheat, leafy greens , cucumbers and...
Hi, I have a muscovy female that is about a year old now. She seems to have had problems walking a few times, but we always just thought it was because she lost strength from sitting on her nest 24/7. She's trying to make a nest now, but she made 7 eggs. 2 I found crushed by the pool, 1 kicked...
We ordered 4 duckling from Metzer farms, our first time ordering online. They hatched on the fifth. They got here on thursday, when we ordered them monday. We ordered two buffs and two runner ducks, one of the buffs was dead when we opened the box. it had its intestines out and looked flat...
Hi,
I recently got a couple of call ducklings and one of them is not looking so good. From the first day he was smaller than the rest. the third day I noticed him breathing heavy, opening and closing his mouth with every breath, he was still moving fine though. Now today, the fourth, he can...
I was able to successfully hatch my first three Call ducks 7 days ago. I’ve hatched crested and runners before but no Call Ducks. One duckling has a very hard time keeping up with her siblings, and they are already twice her size. She won’t pant but she will breath heavily, and lay still for a...
I have 2 half grown Muscovy ducks, almost completely feathered out. A Drake and a Hen. A few days ago found my hen lying down with her neck stretched out in front of her unable to lift her head. Syringe fed her electrolytes (formula 911) & in a few hours she was back on her feet although her...
My 1 year old Pekin has been acting unusual for the past two days. When I woke the ducks up yesterday she wasn’t making any noise and her bill seemed to be lacking color. Usually she’s very vocal. She seems to be weaker than usual. She flapped her wings slow this morning. She’s walking slow. I...
I have an Australian spotted bantam duck hen sitting on eight eggs. On day 26 when the ducklings were supposed to hatch, I found one pipped egg. On day 27 there were no more pips so I decided to bring in the egg that had been pipped for 24 hours into the incubator where I proceeded to carefully...
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...
I'm going to preface this with my eggs were never suppose to hatch. My incubator isn't the best. It was an experiment since I live on a farm with someone who has too many eggs and wanted to see if I could hatch some. I never expected to have anything hatch. I don't even know anything about...
So I have Muscovys but one of the eggs prematurely hatched. we kept the little guy inside and let him absorb his yolk and detach from the membrane. It's been about 4 days since he was inside and I've been giving him vitamins and water and he's still not walking. I'm wondering when I should...
