Hello, thanks for joining us!

 

[Chick-Mahal]

I just bought 30 assorted breeds of chick's and 6 pekin ducklings. I'll have alot of questions im sure. Right now I think I'm allergic to the ducks. Every time I pet them I sneeze uncontrollably, nose runs, eyes tear. It's awful and getting worse. Any suggestions?

Definitely allergic to the ducks. You can keep exposing yourself to them and hopefully over time it lessens, then you will be becoming desensitized to them.

Welcome to BYC!!
No one allergy medication works for me.
I take a Zyrtec and two Benadryl before bed and I still have to take Benadryl throughout the day. The grass pollen was horrible and now the pine pollen is bad.
Maybe wearing long sleeves and pants may help a little. Which way does the wind tend to blow? Maybe sitting so your back is against the wind.

Welcome to BYC. I'd find a home for the ducks.

Or become more reactive with serious consequences. Research 'Pigeon Lung Disease'
