The problem childTM (Colby) has started laying eggs for this season, laid 6, then hasn’t layed for 2 days. She’s not isolating, she was swimming and eating earlier. I checked on her now and she doesn’t seem to be eating she’s drinking fine, I sat outside with them for 30ish minutes and didn’t...
So my problem child aka Colby (2.5 female Cayuga duck) seems to be having some eye problems as of today, both eyes were looking teary. Her companion Sammy seems fine. We’ve had to bring her to the vet a lot lately, so I’d love to try to figure this out and treat it on my own. I’m assuming it’s...
Anyone have advice on how to help a duck with diarrhea?
My ducks will have occasional diarrhea, but it seems really bad for one of them this time. I’m wondering if it’s because they splashed a ton of water out of their pool, made a huge mud puddle, and drank a ton from it. I put them up in...
My girls are almost 2 years old now, so it’s time for an introduction lol. We got them at Tractor Supply so we can’t be 100% certain on the breed but we’re pretty sure they’re Cayuga ducks. They are playful and love to roam around outside whenever I can let them out (I can’t free range them...
My Cayuga ducks are almost 2 now and one of them has had some egg trouble before (laying soft eggs or eggs with just membranes) that was last year though and she’s been totally fine this year until today. The ducks get layer pellets and oyster shells so i think they’re getting good calcium. The...
If it’s not one duck it’s the other 😅
Just posted something the other day about Sammy and tonight I went to put the ducks up and noticed red droppings. I watched both of them until I watched them poop and Sammy is thankfully fine, but Colby is having red poop. It doesn’t look like pictures I’ve...
So here’s the thing, when I let my ducks out this morning, one of them didn’t want to come out and was acting egg bound, but I checked the nest and all the eggs had been laid. I have two Cayuga ducks and each duck gives me an egg a day. There were two eggs in the nest. She’s got her feathers...
I have 2 Cayuga ducks about a year old and they’re molting, I’m stupid for this and can’t stop blaming myself but I didn’t cover their pool and I went outside to shut them up in their coop and found my sweet girl Colby in the water. I pulled her out but she was soaked to the bone, I’m thinking...
I have 2 three week old Cayuga ducklings and they both seemed perfectly fine, they eat, drink, swim in the bath, and play. I have recently noticed that one seems to be panting quite often and I know that he isn’t overheating. This morning I noticed the other one panting but she has since stopped...
