Thank you for the advice. I didn't realize it would be unhealthy to use every day, we have for 6 years 😳 I do tend to worry to the point of probably overdosing them with such things. We will keep it for stressed/sick ducks in the future instead of dosing all of them every day. I really...
After 6 years of ducks, this spring we have something very strange going on. A runner started limping and I noticed her foot pads were swollen and warm to the touch. Upon inspection, they seem hard on the bigger swollen areas and soft and pink where it's slightly swollen. Now, 2 days later, we...
Thank you again for saving me with all the info in this crisis! We used the poultry dust and I'm keeping an eye on her, I had the boys take the ducks for a long walk in the woods because there is some really deep water, better than their swimming pool. We treated her and will neem treat their...
I've never used poultry dust! Is it this? I don't have any on hand but will try to get asap. I only have diatomaceous earth. Thank you SO SO much, my 5 boys are very worried. I can get the neem, but unsure of ratio of oil to water (I'm a paranoid duck mama). ❤️❤️❤️
Our 1 yr old female Black Swedish has a bald neck and light scabbing, bloody pin pricks where the feathers are missing. We don't have any drakes but they still jump atop each other and I thought this was a result of too much of that. But she is dropping tons of feathers, too, like if you pick...
Thank you SO much! We don't have any drakes but my husband is adamant chicken layer feed is fine. I will be getting the brewer's yeast immediately! They haven't been on niacin since they were 5 weeks old. I will order it and I am very grateful for the dosaging information as well!
I give under the dosages I'm pretty sure, they get about 10 cups of food per day, pellets and crumbles, same brand. I sprinkle about half a tablespoon of dried oregano split between 2 feed bowls.
My last batch didn't get sea kelp or vitamins or oregano. A vet receptionist said it's a 3 week wait...
The worst possible scenario for me with no vets, none, able to help me because of the avian flu. Called 4 vets this morning. 50 percent of our first batch of ducks 6 years ago succumbed to this through the years. I was so worried about this when we bought more pets this summer. Now one of them...
