The Duck Thread

Aww what a sweet thing to say, I do love my Scovy's and they really do like the heat better than the cold.

Yup, why I don't have any. I'd be putting Vaseline on caruncles all winter

It's the first set of the year, (and my first duck set ever) I haven't seen the boys real active lately so honestly 22 with growth is good by me!

My Muscovy is ill again.
My 3 year old female Abigail.
I believe what she has is what he had before, a fungal infection. Has anyone else dealt with this or something similar. I currently have her Sporanox and have brought her inside, cranked the heat and have fresh food and water. She seems to almost sneeze and she shakes her head a lot and sometimes water comes out. I have dealt with this before... but I don't know if it was a fungal or ammonia? I live in Canada

and the weather here is damp and cold, we aren't having much a winter currently and there is no sun.
Has anyone dealt with this or something similar, if so what did you do?

In this article the writer talks about using Oxine ah with his duck who had respiratory issues. Can you get it in Canada? Here is the article http://www.shagbarkbantams.com/oxine.htm

Hi everyone! Hope you all are doing as well as possible.

I need your input here:
https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/1150128/suggestions-for-a-first-aid-kit-preliminary

That was post number 50k for me, and I'd like to make it a great collection of first aid items that we use. Please reply there with your suggestions and I will update the list. For now I'm trying to stay away from medications and just want to focus on the basics.

@casportpony according to this info It's best not to use the activator with Oxine ah http://www.shagbarkbantams.com/oxine.htm
