Thanks much. Those pesky hawks! Keep me updated on your little Muscovy. Splash seems to be doing good. I’m not sure why he’s holding his head low but I think he’ll be alright. I let him and little Squeegee our to eat with the other ducks this morning... they decided they’d rather run around and go to the pool... they then proceeded to run over in my neighbors yard and Squeegee layed an egg! I’m thinking little Splash is on the mend.
She’s been laying for a few weeks so there’s got to be quite a few!
No problem! Thanks for following little Splash’s recovery!
Wow that's so cool ! (The egg)Look at this beautiful little egg that Splash’s girl layed! This is the first one I’ve got because she made a nest with the others in my neighbors burn pile. Of course she had to put them somewhere inaccessible！ I was overjoyed to find this! I set it in the incubator with the guinea eggs. I’m going to try to collect the others and add them. I’ll try not to injure myself while going under a giant pile of branches!
Thanks, me too! I did not use antibiotic ointment that had pain relief. (I read about that as well)... I got my calls (yes they're calls) from Johnson's Waterfowl. They were shipped out as day olds. Out of the six that I ordered, five were completely healthy and well. One passed away but it was a weak one to start out with. I couldn't recommend them enough! They were great with letting you know the ship dates and were very kind. If I can recall I ordered assorted and it was about 6 dollars per duckling and shipping was only $15! I have two other unrelated drakes that I got from someone nearby. One is a blue fawn pied and the other is a blue fawn.
