    Is this feed moldy?

    This a Manna pro duck feed I’ve been giving my duck lately, but it seems kind off.. I don’t know, there are some black spots there after looking closely, so I’m a bit worried. It doesn’t feel weird nor does it smell bad, but was there always black dots on the feed? I don’t know. I have noticed...

    Is there undigested food in this duck poop?

    Today and yesterday I went down to my broody ducks nest and noticed egg shells outside of the nest and broken!?

    I went down to my ducks nest and found broken egg shells two days in a row!? Do you think it was the mother that did this or something else? Has anyone else had this problem ever?

    Duck with very hot beak and cold-ish legs?? Please help!

    Her beak has been very hot for the past few days. We believe it’s because it’s summer now, but the AC is always on and though it isn’t cool during the mornings, it’s fine at night. However, her beak is ALMOST ALWAYS hot even during nighttime. She’s panting and her beak is hot, to the point it’s...

    Advice needed! Do ducks with liver disease from wrong nutritions and malnutrition require medication to get better or are just vitamins good?

    Please help! Is a lump of squishy fat behind her legs and green liquid beside her poop a symptom of water belly??

    Please help! This has been happening for awhile now, but the green liquid issue is becoming more often and I don’t know why. She eats a good duck feed and has chicken or salmon everyday, so there’s unlikely to be anything wrong with her diet.

    Is my raw diet for my ducks okay?

    I ran out of all the feed I had, n I don’t know when I can get more. So I’ve been making feed out of stuff at home. Before I use it, I research if it’s safe. I only feed them vegan, ofc. And I change it everyday (yesterday was eggs, carrots and lettuce while today it was lettuce, carrots and...

    Have any of you ever had khaki Campbell x Muscovy crosses? How common is it? What did they look like?

    How common is it for Muscovies and Mallard-derived breeds to cross? Is it less likely to happen if there is a muscovy drake around? I did not separate my muscovy duck from the khaki Campbell drake, I don't think the drake would have bred her because for whatever reason the Muscovies sort of...

    Fussy duck i think

    My eldest muscovy (15 weeks) has stopped eating his grower pellets but will eat everything else like worms, grass, fruit (gave as treats) but wont even touch his pellets anymore even though he use to eat the pallets fine. Unsure if he has become fussy and doesn't like his pellets anymore (fancy...
