My dark khaki campbell duck, Nettle, suddenly layed a rather green-ish shelled egg after her entire reproductive career of slightly off white eggs. She is almost 7.5 years old, though she was a pond rescue and so her exact age and breed could be off slightly. I know some ducks have colored...

Tuesday evening I watched a webinar: Avian Influenza: what poultry owners need to know to protect their flock. This is specific to Washington State, and more focused on chickens. However, I asked if it affects ducks and what the symptoms are and they said yes. Plus they go into detailed...

The short story is that I'd like to buy some delicious treats for our neighbor's peacock. I know for my ducks that snack would be mealworms. Is there an equivalent for a peacock? The long story is that we went to our neighbor's fenced backyard yesterday for socially distance dog playdate. My...

My 5+ year old khaki campbell hen stopped eating last week, and got dehydrated and lethargic. We took her to the vet and did blood work, fecal, started antibiotics, and gave her fluids. They taught me how to tube feed her and sent me home with the supplies. I've been tube feeding her...

My crested Pekin is 4 or 5 years old, and has never been healthy. She had a rough start in life. When I found her she was abandoned, most of her flight and tail feathers were broken and stained with blood from over mating with wild mallards. I have had her for the last 3 years, and she has...

My 3 year old welsh harlequin duck has some light brown crusty stuff around her vent. The skin under it is white and wrinkled. My initial reaction is that she sat in poop all night and it got dried to her. But perhaps this is a symptom of something else. Does anyone have ideas of what this...

I have a flock of six adored duck hens. They follow me around and make me gorgeous eggs. Unfortunately, I do not enjoy the flavor. My good friend told me quail eggs have nearly no flavor. Have you experienced any eggs with a very mild flavor? I have been vegan my entire life, and do not...

I have a flock of 6 pampered ducks in Western Washington. When I hang out in their areas, and especially when the ducks walk on me, I get bitten by these little bugs. It is startlingly sharp, stingy and painful. Are they lice?

Hi everyone. My sweet crested Pekin was behaving tired over the weekend, then on Monday she was resting instead of foraging, didn't come when I called her, was not excited about treats, and then pooped blood. I am lucky enough to have a 24 hour avian hospital in my area so we went in. Her...

She is laying every other day at the moment, and has a voracious appetite. I like to spoil and dote on my pets so I tend to overfeed, but I don't want to make her have weight related health problems so I'm checking in!

Hi everyone! I am happy to be here. I have a little 5 acre hobby farm an hour east of Seattle. Two months ago I picked up 3 Silver Welsh Harlequin and 3 Cayuga ducklings from a feed store - and fell madly in love. I blocked off a little area of our house, lined it with towels and blankets...
