    Duck suddenly not walking

    So the night of my last update she was back to not standing and her head was moving in an odd shaky way and she was just very off. So I ran to the feed store and bought the vitamin B and meal worms. My ducks have never had meal worms before, so she had no interest in them. But by morning they...

    Duck suddenly not walking

    She is standing this morning! I couldn't afford the emergency B medicine yet so just kept doing the Epsom salt baths until I get paid this week. Hopefully just a sprained leg but getting the emergency med, yeast, and calcium regardless as we need them all

    Duck suddenly not walking

    Amazing information thank you! So, to be clear I understand, the liquid niacin is for during a deficiency and then brewers yeast is for after and oyster shell in a separate bowl is for all the time?

    Duck suddenly not walking

    Thank you for the feedback and suggestions. No, I don't give them anything other than the Purina Duck Pellets. They seem to be scared of everything new I try to give them and refuse to eat it. But I will try the niacin on meal worms and see if I can get her to eat it. Unfortunately, no vet...

Yesterday my husband went outside to change out the pool water and play with them by letting them play in the hose mist. They all had fun and behaved like normal. Approximately 6 or 7...

    Should we get more?

    Ya, I have a bigger feeder and waterer in their outdoor pen which is 6 foot by 8 foot and they swim in their pool every other day. But they already are walking around in a swamp by the end of the night because they play in their water even with it so hard to play in lol. I have to completely...

    Should we get more?

    Ok, I just found this video on you tube. My ducks all make the sound of his black male runner. None make the loud quack of his white female runner. Guess I have all boys since their voice is apparently not a real quack and they all have curly tails...

    Should we get more?

    I will try to catch it on film. The quaking sounds are easy since they talk loud when I feed them, water them, change their bedding, etc lol. The coughing sound is more randomly made and harder to get on film, but I'll try.

    Ya, they are super fun! We have never had birds before and are learning as we go. Glad we got runners :) here is a picture of our babies in their night time indoor brooder/pen. We have an outdoor pen that we planned on them being in full time by now, but their first night out something attacked...
