Hi everyone! I have 3 ducks i found with symptoms parallel with botulism or toxicity of some sort. I am aware how to treat it but my issue is that I am worried it’s a magnesium sulfate toxicity. I had to do an epsom flush on my ducks yesterday morning as recommended by my vet for some...

I am sorry if this has been covered before, I am just not finding a situation akin to mine. I have duckling that just hatched. It was a little early but clean hatch, no weird spots in the egg or anything. It’s been over 24 hours, it is all fluffed up and dried in the incubator and about ready...

I have a duck egg I took from a broody hen because I thought it was rotten. When I candled it again, I saw movement, but there is liquid around the air sac. I placed it in my incubator to see if it would set and this morning I checked on it again. There is A LOT of movement, the duckling is...

Hi everyone, I saved a duck egg under a broody hen that had cracked 2 weeks ago. I had no expectations for it to survive with a large crack but i must have caught it in time. I sealed the crack with candle wax and placed it in the incubator and have been manually turning it. My issue is that i...

Hi all We have a 7 month old duck that we found this morning in the coop, she couldn’t walk without toppling over and when she stood, she stoop straight up and sometimes fell backward onto her back. Her neck was completely tucked in. Obviously we were panicked. We separated her immediately...

Hi all, Thank you for all of the support on my last thread. I have some photos of his feet and I believe he has bumblefoot, but I have not seen it like this before. I am wondering you guys believe i should cut off the dead tissue or leave it be. Thank you!

Hi everyone, I just rescued a Jumbo Pekin drake from a not so great situation. I believe he is about a year old and 9 pounds or so. He has some sort of injury to his leg(s) that we have not yet been able to fully evaluate since moving him in. This is leaving him unable to walk much at all...
