OK I know you say not to over think but would it be better to remove while they are there or when they can't see?

I have 2 female Aylesbury ducks. They've just turned 1, they have both made individual nests and lay most days. I'm fully confident the eggs are infertile. The issue in having is that their nests are not in the safe place where they sleep meaning it's a lengthy stressful process for me to get...

Yeah it seemed to clear up in a couple of weeks, didn't seem to cause her any distress or issues and there is no sign of a lasting mark.:)

Thanks @Chickenchick11 I think they do just have callouses as they have lumps but there's no scan or black dot and causing no pain.

I just soaked there feet every night for as long as they'd let me. Then my partner put the triple ointment on any areas that looked unfriendly and they seem to be fine now. I think I caught it really early but I'm still soaking there feet in Epsom daily to keep it away. I think if soaking...

Thanks for your reply. I took them to the vet who told me she couldn't see or hear anything wrong with either of them. She prescribed some antibiotics for one of them and we also wormed them. The cough cleared up and its only every now and then now. Thanks!!

Hello! I know this is an old thread but I was wondering what happened with this as my ducks has something similar, she has a small scratch then this. It's not causing her any issues it just looks painful and uncomfortable! Thanks.

Any tips would be great! Mine are Aylesburys, my partner wrapped her in a towel and held her close while I bathed her foot. We only managed a couple of minutes then they started to fuss and wanted down. I dampened a towel with the Epsom salts and water and got them to stand there for a little...

Penny and Polly our of first ducks so when we got them we didn't know to keep handling them, we thought we would be stressing them out. We didn't realise until they were too old. They are friendly enough to feed out of our hands and come sit with us and they do enjoy a love too. They like us to...

I've ordered some bacatracin zinc with the other ingredients you added. It's due to arrive next week. Okay so could a callous be painful for them and how do you tell the difference between that and bumblefoot? Sorry for all the questions I just hate the thought of them suffering. Thanks again!

Thanks for the advice! Okay in regards to the triple antibiotic ointment will Germolene suffice? I've attempted to add pictures but because I'm using it on my phone I'm unable to put them on. I have looked into callouses and they do look similar to these. I can attempt to use my sisters...

I'm a total novice to bumblefoot! I suspect both my ducks have it mildly. Penny has a lump with a black line on the opening of what looks like a dried up cut. She's not limping and its causing her no issues, I only noticed as she was stretching her legs out the other day. I thought it best to...

This is a genius idea!! The video is brilliant! I'm definitely going to try this. Marcelineduck yeah it's the circle of life super fast. Maybe your ducks will get more interested in bug hunting the more you try with them? I think it's really sweet your little girl is so close and able to touch...

Thanks for the advice. When we got them we were advised to worm them at 6 months then 6 monthly after that. Is there a certain age to start at? I worry If mine are too young.

Yeah fingers crossed it stays that way eh?!

That's so cute. :)

Yeah I took it as they were going through there moody teenage years. They're warming up again now. Haha. Thank god I was starting to think I'd done something wrong.

Yeah I'm glad I got them for summer cos I wouldn't have the heart to move them out while its freezing. What kind of water source do you have for the ducks?

Wow decent sized flock then. I'd love more but it wouldn't be fair with the space we have. It's comfortable for my two. Can I ask do you leave them out all year round? Its just mine are due to go out any time and the thought of leaving them out with frost or snow etc makes me uneasy.

Hi I am! I'm from Leeds in West Yorkshire. I have 2 12 week old Aylesbury ducks. :).
