I have no idea what I am doing

[DwayneNLiz]

I figured that. Unfortunately I don't have the package that my bulb came in

would it say it on the end where the stamp is?

 

[DwayneNLiz]

teflon/ptfe/shatterproof/safety coated
etc

They might call them "shatter resistant"

I for one, was unaware of this hazard. Thanks for pointing it out!

yep teflon is super bad for birds, if you have indoor birds you cant even use teflon coated cookware

Or oven bags and slow cooker bags...

Peace has once again been restored in duckville. They have been let out for the first time since Wednesday. Boy has lucky been cranky the last few days but Flynn is such a sweetheart and just goes with the flow. I probably won't be able to get them in tonight lol.

I'm worried that lucky may not be feeling well. After being locked up in the gazebo during the severe weather for almost 5 days I let them out again on Monday. I havnt noticed much food being eaten at all in the last two or three days which wouldn't be too alarming since they are out in the run all day picking around etc but lucky barely pooped last night before bed and ate nothing. Normally we are in the gazebo with them for an hour each night and all we do is pick up poop but she only went one small brown diarrhea and another clear one. I even tried hard boiled ages for the first time hoping she would eat it but neither one did. Otherwise she is not doing anything else of concern except very nasty the last two days. Should I be worried?

Hi Steven - good observations, Ravyn will know.

My favorite Mallard princess is making January of 2018 brighter!

Funny thing is that I was actually talking to her last night but hadn't noticed at that point that lucky wasn't pooping. Jen was not feeling well and it was late when I realized and didn't want to bother her

@WVduckchick , @DuckLady ?

I forget if you can examine a duck's crop like you can a chicken ?

 

[Steven Mazzo]

Her crop appears to be normal although I don't know what abnormal should be it's not hard or two soft and mushy there really doesn't seem to be anything in her crop. They did have about four goldfish each on Sunday which is the norm for them I always have a bowl as grit out for them to eat as they need it I don't believe that has anything to do with it unless that was enough food to sustain her I have no idea We are also coming off of severely called low temperatures and the last few days have been very mild upper 30s low 40s I don't know if that has anything to do with that either
