    Went to go and let my ducks out for the day. It's pouring down.. I thought the ducks would be happy. I open the door and took cover as they normally come flying at me.. nothing. They're all just sat looking at me I thought ducks were meant to love rain? They've been out in worse. I've left the...

    If you haven't heard. Anyone in the UK needs to keep ducks/chickens and geese inside and safe. Water and food must be kept away from wild birds for 30 days! Keep an eye for any signs of illness and report any dead bird/duck. Read the link below for more details. Mine are still tucked up in bed...

    Everyone I've spoken to thinks I'm nuts but my boy Eddie keeps closing one eye (even when walking about). He does open it but it's closed mostly. I can't see anything visibly wrong with the eye. He's shed a few tears while I've held him out of the one eye but it's not gooey and I can't see any...

    Yes, unfortunately it is liquid. I managed to do it tonight with the bread again but he really does hate it and it takes waaaaay too long! He also spits some of it out. It's not ideal as he needs the correct amount. I'm going back to the vets to get his stitches out tomorrow, I'll ask if they...

    Just an update for everyone that gave advice on Squidge. He's doing much better today. He's finished his meds and is eating again! Poop is still a little green but back to normal state (other than colour) but it's no longer fluorescent. He's finally back out in the duck house tonight, after...

    I rang the vet, they said it's because of the antibiotics and the fact he isn't eating as much! He's nearly finished the antibiotics now. He will be off on Saturday. I've been told it should clear up, if not to bring him back in. I rant

    PLEASE HELP. My lovely duck Squidge was bitten by a jack Russell that had dug it's way into our garden. I took him to the vet, he got cleaned up! He's been fine for the last 3 days, he's been living in our house so I can keep close watch. I wake up this morning and his poop is fluorescent...

    My two boys are pecking at each others necks whenever I'm around them. Any reason for this? (pretty new to having ducks, less than a year) I thought I was making progress with them as they are now comfortable with me and love following me around and having cuddles. But whenever I go to see them...

    I can't stop thinking about it :( poor little lady. I just hope she's safe and being looked after, tho I haven't had an update. I'd drive down myself if I didn't have baba ducks to look after. Never even seen this happen before.
