Newbie))))) My chicks!!!
My 12 yr old ("> Arnold large breed duck was attacked by a raccoon a month ago. His bill was chomped. I found a vet who sent me home with antibiotics. ( twice a day for 14 days) Many places I read say their bills will not regenerate:/ My guys did! The puncture wounds are completely healed over And the tip although bumpy , has healed Too! I told him if he made it , I'd get him some company. I called the feed store who told me they had one runner duckling but they put two americanas in there with him.Brought them home. Duckling had pasty butt which I tried to fix. He didn't make it and I swear the chicks were just as sad as me about it. I went to another feed store and found a Rhode Island white pullet who was being picked on and brought her home. She was accepted like a big sister and they are adorable! I read somewhere that the Rhode Island white would not be good for a beginner but could not find the reasoning behind that .... Anyone know why ? Long story... Sigh...I know .. I know... Lol ...
