I plan on a bachelor flock of rescue drakes, further down the line. In the more foreseeable future I plan on getting a couple more girls, and possibly a small drake. Maybe a call, maybe something a little bigger but still fairly small. My girlies comfort and wellbeing is my priority- and then if they dislike him he'll be the start of my bachelor flock!

Khaki Campbell are smaller drakes. Peep is my smallest boy
My Swedish are huge

I have to remove the gleat chunks that build up on her urethra
I just don’t get why 3000 in vet bills including avian vets
All the testing. 4 antibiotics and now fungal meds and we have zero answers as to how or why
We have had elevated bacterial and now they say aspergillosis but not in the lungs
Some days I hold her in tears and pray she can get over this
She us such a sweet bird and put up with me bugging her. It hurts ti get the gleat off and not once has she ever tried to bite me
She does try to get away and quack
That’s when I feel bad that I have hurt her while trying to help her
But if I don’t get it off it builds up then blocks her

Poor girl. I'm sure I can speak for all of us when I say we hope she pulls through.
You're a terrific duck mum, with some of the best husbandry I've ever seen. You should be proud of yourself

Ooh I like that suggestion. I do love khakis
How much do your khaki Campbells weigh? I wonder if my girls are around the same size, mine aren't that big.

I don't know I'd drakes can prolapse, if by prolapse you mean can't put their penis back in. I know in dogs it can happen, but I can't say more, it would just be assuming at that point

They can prolapse
My boy was out for over a week maybe even 2 but I kept him separated and kept it moist
It did go back up itself
He was lucky and didn’t loose any
But my friends little call drake had his out and she Sydney notice right away
It went black
She had ti cut the dead area off
