Rescue duck, what breed is this?

[Missyyann]

Thank you so much for all the help and answers. It’s really been such a big help! I’m less stressed ha. If it persists I may try to take her to the vet. I’m messaging the rescue to see if they noticed anything else well.

I have corn already mixed into the feed, I think since they are new they may be eating a little less. They have never had bread before though should I give them some occasionally? Or is that a no no?

I wouldn't give them bread it's high cabs and that's where the pounds come from. Mixing corn into the feed is fine for now but after this I'd just do plain feed and stick to greens and meal worms as a treat. Water melon in season is another big hit. Grapes etc. I give mine some corn along with their 6 way scratch in winter to keep them warm over night.

I feel like they don’t even love the corn- ha drfiitely will go back to feed only. They don’t like oats either. Picky things.

 

[Miss Lydia]

They can be picky one reason to keep treats at min of 10% of their daily feed, I always make sure mine have just about finished all their feed before treats are given.

 

[Missyyann]

We have a free feeder I’m assuming you guys feed a certain amount per day?

 

[Miss Lydia]

Mine get to eat all the feed they want during the day once they go in for the night their food if any left gets put up till the next day.

Thanks again for all the help! I really appreciate it

I’m a tad worried my Indian runner seems to be stressed. They are friendly so I pet my girls and she seems to freak out if I pet near her bottom. I looked at her little area and it seems irritated? I know it’s a process but I am a tad worried he’s been having his way with her most. Other then that they seem okay. I tried to look at the Cayugas foot and she almost injured herself because she is so terrified. Other then that honestly everyone seems good and happy

Keep an eye on your Runner you can always put the drake in time out for a few days or longer if he is mating with her the most. It’s called drake jail here on BYC.
