Hey everyone, what do you do when you find your duck bleeding? From say a feather or you can’t find the exact spot? We have a powder to stop the bleeding, but is there a spray that does the same effect to stop the bleeding? Sometimes the powder doesn’t stay great. Right now our Pekins tail...

I bought these feeders to install into a 5 gallon bucket, but it seems like the ducks are having a difficult time getting the food from them bc of the curve. Is there another type like these that are easier for ducks? Or if it just a learning curve for them? They are trying to get the food out...

We need some help from anyone that can help. We discovered our duck kennel that is around their coop roof caved in overnight. Thankfully they were in their coop and they are safe! We made a support beam for the meantime so they were able to come out, but we want to make a new roof, or come up...

Winter is very much upon us, especially where I live. Very cold night which only means one things. I thought I’d make this post so everyone can share their tips for the winter time with ducks and share your set up of your coop area for the winter! First year duck owner heading into winter and...

We currently are purchasing these vitamins and minerals for our ducks and adding it to their water everyday, but our tractor supply is a hit and miss having it in stock. We want to keep giving something very similar to them if possible. Does anyone have any recommendations? We would like to get...

Really hoping someone can help us. A friend of our’s was holding one of our ducklings (about 5 weeks old) she was sitting so calm on her legs and as fast as you can blink stole her stud earring right out of the hole and swallowed it. It happened so fast there was no stopping her. She reacted...

I have 2 almost 5 week only ducklings and our Cayuga’s legs seem to be shaking, almost trembling. We aren’t sure why? We are giving them extra liquid b complex every morning and night because we thought it might be a niacin deficiency, but now we aren’t sure. If anyone has a suggested or input...

Hi eveyone! So this morning we brought Dewey out of her coop and she was walking completely fine. We came down and had breakfast and hung out in the yard for a while. All of a sudden we noticed she is limping. Seems to barely be putting weight on her right foot. I’m not sure if there is...
