I just noticed it this morning
How soon can you tell the sex of Rouen babies? I have three, almost four week old ducklings. I had them outside the other day I can see the startings of one of their heads turning green. Males have green heads, females do not, correct?
Hi first time duck owner here I have 3 Rouen & 3 Pekin they are just a couple weeks old . Our land is sort of an island type with a decent size river around us my question is once the get older if we let them out on the river will they come home?
Hi...hoping somebody can help. One of my 3 Rouens has been sitting excessively. When it walks, it is perpendicular to the ground (straight up and tall, like a person) and looks like it is struggling to move feet forward. Still eating and drinking but looks really thin compared to the others so evidently not getting enough. I moved them(7) from the coop to outside with the 2 month old chicks a few days ago. The other six ducks seem to be doing fine. It has been raining excessively here, as an added note.
Ok....I have checked and watched. The conclusion I've come to is the duck is not bending legs when walking. Bending to lay down and does a lot of that, but when walking....very stiff legged.Is there any cuts or bruises on it's feet? Make sure to check the bottom of it's feet too for any signs of bruising or raised areas as it could be bumble foot. How long has it been doing this? Since you moved them outside or before?
The feet look fine.....maybe a little folding under on the sides. They are being fed chick egg laying pellets. Should I change? Saw something about adding brewers yeast. Was planning to get some. I used to have brewers yeast in tablets. Does it also come in powder?Hmm.. Did you check it's feet over really well? Is it still doing it? What kind of feed are you giving?
I really think the problem is where the leg meets at the it's back. Something painful that it can't support it's weight in a normal position so hence the upright position with little movement, if any, at it's hips. Is there anything that would cause that?
