Hi again, I posted earlier about four ducks I rescued and worried about the silver appleyard. Just tonight I was holding her and noticed that 75% of her feathers are broken off. I’ve only just had them for a day and she actually let me pick her up. I realize ducks molt and I was hoping someone...

Hello everyone, Couple questions for you please.. I just rescued four pitiful ducks and I’m concerned about the silver appleyard. Her wings are in terrible shape, and I’m wondering if it’s normal to molt wings this time of year, or maybe over mating is the problem. I’m just not too sure but...

Hello everyone, Yesterday I posted after having an issue with my runner duck. Unfortunately she passed away a few hours later. I’m devastated. My concern today is that her partner, my male Pekin, is clearly heartbroken. What do I do? I have a flock of 11 now, so he certainly is not by himself...

Hello, This morning my runner duck is a completely different duck. She just stands in one place, drinking a lot. She will not eat, no matter what I try putting out. Her poop is watery, almost clear. She did lay an egg this morning, so that’s normal.. but her behavior is completely off. She’s my...

Hello! So my welsh Piggly will have limping spells pretty regularly. She will limp for a couple days, then be fine. Then limp. It’s a vicious cycle that I cannot seem to remedy properly. I keep trying to witness what causes this, but have yet to. Until... this afternoon she was laying in the...

Hi again everybody.. I have another duck that has started limping today. After examining her feet I did notice on her left there is a flat red area.. it is not raised, there is no “center” to it.. It just looks like a red splotch. Any ideas please? What should I do for it?

Hi everyone, I have a welsh harlequin that has had walking problems since birth. She just seems to walk stiff legged, if that makes sense. No bending, just straight, stiff stomps. A couple weeks ago she started limping and pretty heavily. She had to use her wings to stand and even then she...

Hi everyone, I currently have nine ducks, two of which are males. They always got along just fine, but now that they’re over 4 months old they fight. Anytime they are together there is a brawl, and my Pekin injured the Rouen during their last fight. I had to keep Ralph in the hospital wing for...

Hey guys, just curious what you think.. My two khakis are about 5 weeks old. One of them makes a perfect quack, the other still peeps. I don’t know how to tell the khaki females from the males.. opinions? And then we have my two welsh.. the lighter beak one quacks, LOUDLY. The other, well...

Hi again! Just trying to learn from everybody and get friendly advice and opinions.. Which treats do your ducks love the most? I would say for mine it’s peas, kale and watermelon. My pekin screams as I walk through the yard carrying treats.. he is very impatient. 😊

Hello! I have posted a picture of my mystery duck.. But I got a better picture of him in the sun. Is he a khaki? He just has so much yellow on his head and mixed in with the rest of his feathers. He’s about three weeks old, and was mistakenly shipped with a huge order of chickens. Needless to...

Hello! I’ve attached a picture of my mystery baby, any guesses on breed? 😊 this poor little guy was shipped by mistake in a huge order of chickens. I had to bring him home.
