hello all -- i figure for the younger ones, they unfortunately must've passed away from the quick climate changes that was happening. i try to forgive myself but it's a little hard since i was the one taking them out and putting them back in. the older ones didn't have an issue with this...

it gets cold in the mornings, about 40 degrees to 50 degrees, but for this past month we've had 60 degree weather when i would let them out. i dont let them out when its below 50. the temperature where the heating lamp is is about 70-75 degrees. i can assume thats enough to put them in shock...

they’re just pretty small still, so i assumed they would need a heat lamp, but that is a good point. they really could be, we will take the heat lamp out! we do provide grit in a side dish for them, the water that they have in their enclosure isnt able for them to dunk their heads in, but the...

hello! my duckling recently passed away, and a few days ago her sister also passed away along with their older sibling. in total, we had 5 ducks, and now we only have 2. the older ducks are pretty older, theyre 3/4ish months old, and the little ones were about 2 months old. there is a heating...

she is maggot free now but we’re dealing with her eating at her wound on her wing. is there any way we can fix this? we had her patched up but she tore it off.

these were taken before they were cleaned to the best of my ability.

hello! this had happened about a week ago; my brother and my cousin were working on the outside play pen for the chickens, fixing up and holes that were found. at night, the chickens go into their coop to sleep and the turkeys go inside their play pen to sleep. one morning, i woke up to let...

thank you all for your replies! my ducks are perfectly fine now. we got rid of our 2 dogs who did it, since they were still fairly young. he is okay now & we even bought him 3 more ducks so then he has a flock! 💖 they all get along greatly.

my ducks were recently attacked by my dogs last night. one looks like it has a broken wing and is bleeding from his nose; it is continuous and dripping. we did not notice it because there was a feather stuck to his beak and he refused to let us try and take it off. when we did, that's when we...
