The Duck Thread

Don't forget to nominate four people by the end of this month!

oooh! Who should I nominate!

Look closely at the threads you participate in and nominate people accordingly. Think quality, not quantity, though some people do both.

Note that you should double check to see if they already have awards, and this can be done by viewing their posts while in desktop mode.

Help! My duck was born on the 9th of this month. It has been breathing a little odd lately. When I looked at its nostrils, I noticed one side is open and the other looks closed? Do they shed skin on their nostrils like my bearded dragons and it's just possibly skin that needs to be shed or is there a more serious problem.

Let him/her play in water and see if the splashing and bathing knocked out the stuff blocking his/her nose.

Usually 10 weeks, some say 6-8 weeks... I prefer Purina Flock Raiser for mine... don't need to add extra Niacin and is good from hatch to lay so no need to switch...

thank you ..sorry i missed this !

Hey guys I've had my ducklings and big ducks seperated by some hardware cloth for about a week now. Today I put the ducklings in the pen with my bigger ducks. So far it's been good. The big ducks have spent the day ignoring the ducklings lol. Last introduction the 2 drakes would hit the ducklings with their heads. This time they showed no aggression. We only have one duck house in the pen. If I leave the ducklings in there they would have to be locked up in the same duck house as my big ducks. Their is enough room but it's still a bit close quarters. What should I do? Put them in their own bed tonight or level them with the big ducks? Thanks..

Doing good! A 20 min swim in the tub and gentle rub with qtip cleared it. Thanks for yalls response

Ok thanks. Do you think it would be ok if they had a divider? Sorry didn't ask before. This just occurred to me.. we have a small crate that would fit comfortably in their house. I was thinking about putting the ducklings in that and then putting them in the house with the big ducks?
