Nope and no unfortunately. I do think it's because she is ill and having her first moult right now. Both of those must be putting a strain on her little body. I haven't seen anything in their feces though. But I know it's not always visible

I might see one already but it might just be bent-

Thank you! They are free fed. She's just choosing not to eat as much. I have been giving her raw egg and fresh k*lled insects for protein after learning she's underweight. I just wanted to make sure the keel is actually a way to tell and I wasn't going to make them obese

The vet said Azula's keel is prominent and that she's underweight. But I've heard chickens don't usually carry fat on their keels? What do you think?

Oh I'm sure they will haha. Be careful. If you have any drakes they will likely harass the hens

They sound like very lucky ducks! They tend to grow attached to their owners so I would let them inside from time to time to hang out. They really appreciate being with their giant flock member haha

So sweet! Also consider offering orchard grass hay. Ducks benefit from forage

I see. They likely broke the feathers off on the tub. Once they are out with a lot of space they will grow back and be fine

Bobbing for food in the tub would be great. Frozen peas are fantastic for that

What do their sleeping quarters look like though? Is it a kennel? Everything else sounds great

It happens. Are you using a vitamin supplement? What are you feeding them? What is their home looking like?

Both showed good improvement today so I let them back outside for the day

Yes I was thinking the same but I need them to finish the two month regime of the medicated chick feed

So I was right. They have a respiratory infection. Had their second dose of Doxycycline today and haven't noticed much improvement yet. Azula is apparently underweight so I'm hand feeding her raw egg yolk and will be getting fresh k*lled feeder insects as well

They have a mild respiratory infection they are seeing the vet for tomorrow so they are inside basking under a growlight today

Sorry long time no post! Both babies are fully vaccinated! They are doing so well! I am considering getting a third since this is going to well, but I want it to be an intake to my rescue that I decide to keep

Thank you! They love the sun!

The girls are enjoying their second day of being outside! Today it will be for the majority of the day. Also their first day eating proper chop like birds!

Azula just tidbitted! I was tapping the ground like I usually do to announce treats. Azula runs over, and starts doing that sound they make to announce food!
