What’s a good way to dry up mud/water fast
Cool. I’m headed out to get some duckling crumble feed in a bit so will see what they have -
What’s a good way to dry up mud/water fast
So here in north AL we have had a lot of rain so far and to say the duck pen is a muddy mess is an understatement Drainage is normally good but the retention pond in my yard the pen drains into is also flooded over so water is just backing up into the pen Normally I wouldn’t mind too much as... -
Virginia creeper
So over this last week a vine has consumed my duck pen. It went from a couple strands I pulled off the side to covering half my pen in just a couple days A Plant ID app I downloaded identified it as Virginia creeper. Going to try to pull it off as much as I can today and tomorrow but is it... -
Need advice
I would give my ducks some type of treat each night. Peas, lettuce, blueberries, ect But only in their coop area and only at night just before sunset. After a while I just have to go outside just before sunset and they are all in the coop area waiting for me -
Can I feed my ducklings Blueberries?
Maybe cut or mash them into small enough pieces if they are larger berries, til they are big enough for them, but my ducks LOVE blueberries. I’ve given most of my ducklings I have raised blueberries and never had any issues other than them getting mad when I didn’t have blueberries for them -
Duck not doing well
It’s possible and that was part of why I put her in the dog crate. To separate her. It sending missing a lot of feathers on her neck so not sure? Will keep her isolated for a couple days and see how she recovers -
Duck not doing well
My sweet girl Arya has been losing weight I noticed yesterday. She was just sitting in the back corner of the coop. I went and checked her out and she was thinner than normal and very dirty As I went to pick her up. She of course tried to scurry away and she was very wobbly and was using her... -
My Ducks’ have a super fun new game they invented…
This is just a new thing and it’s funny and weird. 4 years and this week is the first time they’ve ever done this like this. -
My Ducks’ have a super fun new game they invented…
A couple do but they have a couple kiddie pools they can go into and they all use them. -
My Ducks’ have a super fun new game they invented…
It’s called “let’s fill the water dish with all the straw we can til it becomes a clump of solid muck” 4 water dishes and all look like this. They started doing this a few days ago. Then squawk angrily at me when I come check on them because they have no water to drink 🙄 -
Weird thing on ducks mouth
It doesn’t seem to bother her or affect her eating or drinking Gonna keep an eye on it and see how it goes and if it gets worse find a vet willing to see her. Not many around here -
Weird thing on ducks mouth
Thanks. I don’t think it’s an abscess, at least not one I’ve ever seen. When I can open her mouth that bubble is not filled with pus. It is more like an air pocket. And the skin there is dry and leathery. It’s weird -
Weird thing on ducks mouth
So my girl Arya, I noticed last night she had something sticking out of her mouth. Thought it was a leaf. But as I picked her up and checked her it looked like an abscess. But when I opened her mouth it looks more like the skin inside her mouth stretched and is sticking out the side. It’s not... -
Floppy takes a walk
Absolutely. Everyone here has been so helpful in my duck adventures I love to help others when I can now To be honest it’s been about 3 months and she may never be able to go out in the pen with the other ducks as a male on top of her mating her may be too much for those legs to bare, but her... -
Floppy takes a walk
So Floppy is the duckling I took in and raised that someone had dumped at a marina and had a sever niacin deficiency Her legs and feet were like cheap plastic and felt like she didn’t have any bones at all. We’ve given her niacin regularly but 3 months later and she still couldn’t take more... -

Inside duck and flies
So one of my ducklings I took in with the severe niacin deficiency has been getting slowly better. Her legs have mass and bone now. But she may never get to be an outside duck. One leg is almost like it’s fused and doesn’t bend well. The other the leg has formed straight but the knee joint is... -

Anyone ever use a duck wheelchair/hammock for injured feet?
Have a puppy pad under her but she wiggled around so much it comes loose. We have the backend backed into a Walmart bin on its side with pads under her to catch the poop. First one we did we cut and opening for the poop but she wiggled so much she wound up tearing the shit and I found her half...
