    I Need to Buy 2 Mallard Hens This Spring.

    I live in Central, MO and there's a hatchery in IA, about 280 miles away. I would like to buy 2 female Mallard ducklings from them and am willing to make the drive to get them since I don't want the Post Office involved, but I don't know if I can trust a hatchery to provide healthy babies. My...

    Is it normal for a duck or chicken to have convulsions after they pass?

    Yes, I'll never be the same again. I don't know what to do.

    I never had children and she was the closest to having one.

    My Molly died last night at 9:12PM CST. She was 14 1/2 years old.

    My sweet angel from heaven passed away after a pretty rapid decline. She did not appear in pain or distressed. She was vocal until the end. I will never be the same after this. I have her wrapped in cloth and plastic and she's in the freezer until the ground thaws so I can give her a proper...

    Mallard Turning Into Mini "Vulture".

    She lives indoors and has a window for sunlight and a heating pad that's always on for if she gets too cold. When she tucks her bill under wing to nap, her bald neck can't be seen.

    Mallard Turning Into Mini "Vulture".

    Oh yeah, her birthday was July 18, 2010 and she's been with me every day since hatching. I don't work, so I have always had the time to care for her and sing her little songs.

    Mallard Turning Into Mini "Vulture".

    Makes sense since she is otherwise perfectly healthy and talks a ton.

    Mallard Turning Into Mini "Vulture".

    Hi, Here's Molly again. She'll be 14 years old in 2 weeks. I have taken her to an avian specialist and they are stumped. She is bare skin bald under both wings, around her legs, and as you can see in the photo, her neck is bald. Skin is baby smooth and has no irritations. Her behavior and...

    My baby Molly is 13 1/2 years old and She's going BALD.

    The vet drew blood twice and did an x-ray, physical exam, and prescribed antibiotics because her white blood cell count was elevated. Molly's brother is the same age and he looks the same as he always has. Nice green head and great feather quality. Even though they hide illness well, the one...

    I'm really sorry about your loss. I never had any children, but I consider Molly to be my child.

    My baby Molly is 13 1/2 years old and She's going BALD.

    I did adopt a female Rouen about 10 years ago from the Humane Society and she's very healthy and has all her feathers. I can't adopt after my babies are passed. I'm too old and my health is not good, so I can't make a long term commitment and be able to provide a good life for others. 13...

    My baby Molly is 13 1/2 years old and She's going BALD.

    Thank you so much. Your explanation is the best I have sever heard. Too bad the vets don't know half of what you do! I do keep her warm. She has two heating pads and we keep her area at 78 degrees. She gets a bath every other day and then I wrap her in a towel to dry her off so she doesn't...

    My baby Molly is 13 1/2 years old and She's going BALD.

    My Mallard hen named Molly has been going BALD for a few months and the vet ( a Cornell University Avian specialist ) says that we are in "uncharted territory" due to Molly's age. After a thousand dollars in vet bills, NOTHING has changed. Molly is my baby. I never had children, but she's...
