That's the thing about ducklings.... They grow fast.
As for a waterer. When they get bigger I use tote.... I cut out a window and set a old crock from a crock pot as a watering dish. It keeps the mess contained.
I have a small hole cut in the tote for the winter and replace the crock with a...
Don't get me wrong I love Ravens my favorite bird ..... Crow and Ravens are both smart as can be. They can even perform math..... But here some are just huge. Every bit as big as a bald eagle...... And when they are hanging around I watch my tiny dogs.
I don't know Rav I'm proud of you.... Because even we have clashed over my dislike for wolves. But you had to do what it took even though it's against your nature..... To protect your flock.
That in itself makes you a loving duck owner. It's the same thing when a person has to put a suffering...
Thank you. I just looked real clear to the eye. It's okay but seems to be slightly swollen. My drake are p
Pretty aggressive but I don't think it's just an injury. I'm going to the pharmacy to see about triple anti biotic ointment also.
Hi...I have a duck that seems to be having an issue with its right eye. Not red or full of pus. Just missing the feathers around the eye at this point.
Eye looks okay. I've seen on another thread they talked about putting Apple cider vinegar into the drinking water.
But they didn't say how...
I also have too many drakes. I lost ducks to a dog attack. That left me with top many drakes. It hasn't been a problem until I try to introduce my other four duckling girls. The two drakes are hyper aggressive. I'm working on it though. But those two boys hang up on one hen at a time. Pisses me...
I think you have time...like I said my girl her wings were sticking out there....she wouldn't take being wrapped...I have no idea how those people did it....lucky she turned out okay.....I gave up and figured it wasn't going to hurt her anyway and she is basically a pet anyway...you need some...
Rav did you ever look at the Angel wing thread? I keep looking at the pics but I cannot tell anything from them....but I'm pretty sure the only fix is to wrap her. But she seems kinda little to wrap....but I don't know maybe it's easier to wrap then at her age. Someone will eventually answer...
I have them in two separate pens...the three adults I have are let out to roam the world during the day....the four young girls I would like to let them have more freedom. the two pens share a chicken wire wall...so they get plenty of face time. I'll just keep playing it by ear for a while...I...
Any ideas what I can do with a duck that just wants to be mean....He gets a long with my oldest hen but that's it. Have 4 more girls I want to integrate with the rest and he just attacks them. My other drake defends them but now the two are just fighting non stop. They are K.C.s my wife...
