Here is JoJo in his new undies! And him and Ryleigh in the hall. But @Juliebird we went to my parents, they loved him, amazed at how he was. My mother was p!aying with him and the hose. Surprise, he's not a diseased and filthy creature that attacks and bites! Lol everyone got a kick out of the diaper.
She hasn't laid yet. I expect her to within a few weeks. She's about 21-22 weeks. Here's the pic I just took...
Some of that looks like bits of dirt and scuff marks. It doesn't look like anything to worry about, but you might want to take a look at post #6966 on page 697 of this thread. The nutritional / treats advice would still apply. Not sure if the Neosporin is necessary in your case because I can't tell if that's an injury or just the normal spotting that often happens on sexually mature ducks with yellow or orange bills. I think I'd try cleaning the bill and doing the Neosporin since it isn't going to hurt her as long as you avoid the nares. The normal spotting typically doesn't occur until after they've started laying.
Ok thank you. When I picked her up to check the spot I rubbed it to see if it was mud. It didn't seem to bother her at all. So I don't think it's painful. As for nutritional needs- they are on Purina Flock Raiser and whatever they naturally eat in their pen like bugs, worms, and grass. They get a couple handfuls of peas at bedtime.
I will just keep my eye on her. As long as she doesn't seem to be in any pain I'm going to try not to worry...
Eeeeee, Squeeeee. JoJo is soooo cute. I love how beautiful be is. And I am happy be went over well with your parents. The diaper is great and I think his cleanliness is due to how well you take care of him. Love the pic of little Ryleigh with him.
