Hi all. I've attached a video. She (Delta) is in her enclosure in the video but she's quacking in the same way when out in the garden with me, they get about 5-6 hours supervised a day outside to forage and free range. She's turning 3 in June, our other female started laying just over 2 weeks...

Hiya We have 3 mini appleyards, they are two years old, so this is their second big moult. I don't remember them being this sleepy and eating less last year. Both our females stopped laying about a week ago and the featherpocalypse has begun. We've been giving them extra protein food like...

Hi, I've attached some pictures, came out to see the ducks this afternoon and one of our ladies has blood around her nostrils, I had gone out as I'd seen a rat inside the enclosure so not sure if that could have been anything to do with it Checking the cameras today she's been sleeping a...

Me back with yet another question 😂 We're going down to -4C tonight in the UK, our ducks like to sleep outside in their enclosure usually, when it gets below 0 like a month ago cold we put them in an inside section of our outbuilding with thick straw on the floor, some water and food, to keep...

So we have 3, 2 year old Mini Appleyards, 2 females 1 male, we know the optimum is 3 females to one male but we are in Flockdown in the UK due to bird flu so they have to stay in their 2x3m run atm which we think a 4th duck would cause space issues. We think this is exacerbating the issue. One...

Hi all One of our ducks decided to try a little fly and she came back down she grazed her leg on some stone border by the edge of the garden. I've attached some pictures, we used a pet swab and then we tried a wrap with vetericyn and vet wrap but she pulled that off after a bit. We wasn't sure...

Hi all Apologies for another thread, I've just found this place to be the best for info! We have one of our ducks in the house atm due to wet feather, she's currently got a small bumble on her right foot which we are treating. I noticed today that he left foot is periodically shaking while...

Hi all I've attached a picture of one of our ducks feet, we noticed it looked odd and after a close look saw this. I'd like to know if it looks like bumblefoot? She's a miniature appleyard so about the same size as a wild mallard. It looks like a small one so would bathing her in Epsom salts be...

Hi all. So bit of backstory, we have 2 ladies and 1 male miniature appleyard ducks, one of the girls prolapsed earlier this year with her first egg, we brought her inside and treated that, then during the stress of all that she overpreened and got wet feather. We've kept her inside until her...

Hi all One of our Ducks, Delta (11months old) who is temporarily living inside with us (prolapsed, then overpreened and developed wet feather, with us till moult) has started to limp yesterday. It's gotten worse today, we've checked for any cuts or abrasions and bumblefoot and her foot looks...

Hi all So a week ago one of our 10 month old ducks had a vent prolapse when laying her first egg. We brought he inside the house and treated her for a few days, she's healed up and back to her usual self now, we're just keeping her inside until she lays her next egg so we can make sure she...

Hi all, Just looking for some advise on if the feathers on our drakes head require any treatment. Shortly after he had his green feathers on his head grow in we noticed his feathers below his eyes seem to be a little thinner and could see his white skin underneath. We thought it could be down...

Hi all, attached a picture of our 21 week old Drake, he got his full head of green feathers a few weeks ago, since then we've noticed what seems like a small balding area under each of his eyes, the other side looks the same, he scratches at that area occasionally when preening but that's about...

Hi all So we have 3 Miniature Silver Appleyard ducks that are around 17 weeks old, we got them at 7 weeks old One of the females seems to shiver (micro shake? Best way to describe it) her head whenever being given a treat like mealworms or peas for example. She's done it as for as long as...
