You're one of the best duck moms ever. If you were into Calls, I'd just give you some, same as with Buff. I love the fact that you love them so much, and that's what I care about with mine, not about the price.

Welcome, Mandy! I've been away for a few days and hadn't gotten a chance to say hello!

I promise you the people who've commented on your post, at least the one I saw in this thread, aren't mean people. It just scares the life out of us when we hear things like like this because the outcome is so predictable. You're lucky you caught this as quickly as you did before she was more...

I hope you do something better with it than many do. Not that I often agree with you or anything, just saying, ummm... Sorry. What was I saying?

It's being caused either by the tablet you're using or by the keyboard you're using on the tablet. It worked from my iPad but not from my Note Pro, which is an Android tablet. That might be because I'm using an alternate keyboard, so I'd have to test that more.

My goodness, @duckies1230 , I'm so sorry to hear you're going through this. I'm kind of behind on BYC right now. Are things any better? You've gotten great advice here, and I just wanted to add that, like others here, I am not a proponent of giving oral or injected antibiotics unless they're...

That's going to be really nice, and I'm so glad they have a good home! Odd about the bathtub thing. I'm trying to figure out why anyone would bury a bathtub in the backyard.

She really does look fine. I was starting to wonder if she wasn't a Pekin. They both look absolutely fine.

LOL. Massive is right for Pekins. That's a lot of the reason that they're one of the main ones raised for not living long. Well, that and the light skin that presents well if you're into that sort of thing. The BO cross sounds very possible with yours based on the way you describe their...

Could you get a current pic of them both side by side? I'm actually starting to wonder if she's really a Pekin. Also, are you able to get her weight so you can monitor that?

Do you have an accurate scale? You could get a ballpark on it if you do, but normal Pekin range is very wide. An adult duck would be 8-11 pounds and an adult drake would be 9-12 pounds. JoJo being short of the adult weight doesn't mean he's ill since he might get a little bigger by the time he's...

Miss Lydia already got to how to find the keel, but I just wanted to mention that it might not be that JoJo is thin but that Lily is fat. Remember me telling you that corn is very fattening and should be fed sparingly if at all in warm months? Considering the way they were feeding her, she might...

Looks pretty neat, but I'll have to take a closer look later. All I looked at was the duck category. I remember having seen that on Pinterest as well, probably because I have birds listed as one of my interests, but I had never gotten around to checking out the site.

You can usually get it at feed stores and pet stores, but I'd call around if I were you both to make sure they have it and to find out in what sizes. We keep an assortment of sizes around just to be prepared for whatever. It also comes in a lot of colors, and I don't recommend the "cute" colors...

Julie, you really need to see what's best for you, not go on my word for anything. I'm not a doctor, but I'm okay with that because I don't care much for a lot of them. I know a good bit about nutrition and some stuff about alternative treatments, but part of the latter is because I've worked...

Interesting. I actually mostly stopped eating spinach myself because of the effects on humans. What makes a difference in anything is how bioavailable elements are, not whether they're present. The oxalaytes in spinach block the absorption of calcium from the spinach itself and from other...

Absolutely. That's one reason I never say just "dark leafy greens" and try to give specific ones. I always say never give spinach in any amount because there's really no reason to. As much as I used to love spinach myself, it's very rare in the past few years that I even eat it myself.
