Lol well that's good to know. I do like the medicinal benefits of yarrow for wound care and I wasn't sure if it was good for their bellies like it is for people
Hey everyone, I like to plant a decent sized herb garden that my ducks have free range over as well as myself. I usually plant run of the mill herbs but I put ecenacia in it this year and I was thinking of adding yarrow. Is yarrow duck safe?
So it seems my Rouen (cinnamon) is eating my one Perkins (Quackster) eggs. I'm not sure why, they get Purina duck feed and have 2 bowls of oyster shells in their coop. I put wooden eggs in their coop to try to remedy the situation to no avail. She was raised with the 2 boys who share a divided...
That was my thought, my one Pekin had a niacin deficiency that caused her feet to turn in so I wasn't sure on this symptom. I will get her on b complex asap. Thank you!
Also they're Just under 3 weeks old and I feed them dumor duck all life stage pellets from TSC and they got pre/post biotic as well as electrolytes for their first week in every drinker and now they get it in one drinker and they have a clean clear water drench bowl

Hey everyone,
My largest Pekin duck got a little too much attention from my khaki and he but her eye, it's swollen pretty good and is now starting to get a little foamy. It didn't have foam last night, just the swelling. I have been irritating it since I noticed it swelling with home made...
Yeah I was very much concerned that is what was starting, her timing is terrible if that's the case. But I didn't get her a calendar for Christmas so I guess I only have myself to blame.
I have 2 drakes and 3 hens. I got the 2 boys and one girl from a straight run and didn't know I had any drakes til they aged into their adult plumage. I know a 3-5 to 1 ratio is ideal and if it weren't so late in the year when they matured I would have gotten a couple hens. But since they didn't...
I thought that may be the case, but being December I didn't think she would be molting, but this in my first year owning ducks so I'm still learning a ton, thank you! I have seen them biting at each other when being mounted but it isn't very common and they don't typically take feathers out and...
