Sheesh. I've frequented other groups since I left here and don't remember it being like this here. Everything wrong with a duck can apparently be treated with niacin, and I'm an idiot for thinking otherwise. Feather loss, bill discoloring, sinus infections, bumble foot, wry neck, wry tail...

Scott noticed tonight that one of our ducks looked kind of like parts of her feathers have been chopped. She's fine, doesn't even seem to notice it, and she can still fly, but I'm not sure what could cause something like this. We of course checked the others after we saw this, but none of those...

I'm bored with and tired of my nick here. Gina wasn't available, Jade wasn't available, and JadeComputerGal was what I used for many years (please don't ask how long) in Internet computer chat/support forums I used to run. Please throw out some potential new nicks if anything comes to your...

We're going to be looking for another house in the spring. A natural pond isn't going to be one of our requirements, but we're going to list it very high in the "nice to have" category. One thing that's really puzzling me about that is how we can know what's already in it. We'd ask the owners...

I just got back an interim report on our little girl that died on Sunday. Most of the toxicology reports other than the AI test are still pending, The vet at this point thinks the cause of death was fibrous material in her gizzard. They sent me pics because I requested them, and I have no idea...

These tiny beauties are all from Holderread lines and are pet or show breeder quality. Prices vary from $10 to $25 each depending on sex and quality. We are selling only duck/drake pairs or drakes right now. They range from 4-5 months old, and all weigh less than 1.6 pounds. Varieties are white...

I apologize if this has been asked before and I'm not finding it. I did what I thought was a pretty specific advanced search and came up with half a million hits. I was about to post something (ducks) for sale in the BST forum and thought it was best to read back over the BST rules since I've...

We spent the morning going through our first batch of this year and will have many of them for sale soon, for local pickup only. I'm going to post something in the sale forum once I get their information into a spreadsheet, but I know many of you probably don't look at that often. The colors are...

We had an unplanned hatch from a bonded pair of one year olds, a Rouen drake and a Khaki Cambell duck. The ducklings are 5 weeks old and partly feathered now. We have 15 of those left. I've posted these ducklings on CraigsList for $5 each/discounts for multiples with a more formal description...

We typically vent sex our ducklings at one week, but everything I've read about sexing Bantams says it's very risky to sex them that early. What I don't find agreement on is when it should be done. I've seen people say two weeks, one month, six weeks, and I've even seen a couple of people say...

I apologize in advance for bringing this up again since there are hundreds of posts about this on the Internet. The problem is that I feel like I'm going in circles reading them. I see recommendations that range anywhere from 30% to 70% humidity before lockdown, and most of the people who give...

I have fallen in love with these after going to poultry shows last weekend and want to see if I can get the hubby to buy into the idea of getting a few, maybe next spring/summer. It might not be easy since he says they "creep (him) out," but the bigger problem might be the quacking. Runners...

A couple of people who couldn't make either show asked me to take some pics. They are here-->https://www.dropbox.com/sh/enms2fqbhigmaib/AACu6PHxmqzf_YbIY0v477eca?dl=0 in the Lebanon and Bloomsburg folders. About 95% of them are Call ducks, but there are a few others, including videos of Runners...

We need to find new, good homes for part of our flock. We are going to start showing and breeding Call ducks, and those plus the ducks we have now will put us considerably over the limit our township allows on property our size. I posted this on our local Craig's List about three weeks ago and...

I had to call around to several avian vets to even find one of those who can do it, and it's going to cost around $300. That's going to run into a lot of money if we have to have it done every month or two, so I'm really hoping some of you can give me some other alternatives. Thanks!

I've found a couple of places on the Internet that show they still have ducklings available but I haven't contacted them yet. I want to gather some names and ideas first. I'm willing to pay a good amount of money for them. Thanks!!!

Mama sat on the nest for five weeks. Now that all the eggs are hatched, mama seems to be wanting to be her old self and hanging out with our other grown ducks. All the 1-3 day old peeplings are huddled in the nest. Do we hang out a while to see if she comes back, or do we bring them in so they...

Hello. It's me, the pain, again. I really do research things before I ask here, but I get such conflicting results that I'm afraid not to ask people who know the correct answer. We have a mama peep sitting on seven eggs we candled last Saturday and found to have embryos. (I did another post...

I know there are a lot of threads out there on this site and elsewhere, but I haven't been able to find anything that matches our situation and was hoping to get some advice based on what's going on. We have four ducks that are four months old now. A month ago, we bought three Buff hens that...

This is something that became apparent last night in one of our ducks after my hubby ran the weed eater. He thinks that's related because they all go running in the opposite direction as fast as their little feet will carry them if he's in the vicinity with the weed eater, lawn tractor, even the...
