    What Is Wrong With Her Wings

    Does she have access to daily fresh swimming water? That would be very important for ducks feather health! She will eventually molt and then can grow in better feathers.

    Help!

    Completely shell-less or do they have a paper thin shell or membrane? How is she doing today? Eating, active? If she has shown no improvement you should consider your vet euthanizing her. It might be best not to have her suffer :( Sounds like she may have a reproductive issue. It's so hard, but...

    Can you explain what you mean by laying runny eggs? Are they shellless?

    Concerned about foot healing please help!

    Awesome - I just saw that recently and wondered if it was easier to use. I will try that when my other one is empty!

    It's not Prid though - I have used that, but the epsom salt poultice works much better for me.

    What should a chicken keeper know about ducks?

    On that note, if you have pekins, supplement with extra niacin from the beginning!

    Concerned about foot healing please help!

    That looks painful. Do you keep it bandaged with a gauze pad? I would use this epsom salt solution linked below and re-bandage it every day with a fresh application, keeping her feet dry - taking it off occasionally to give her time to swim in clean water. Try that for a week and see if it looks...

    Working on new call duck pens.

    I'm just curious as to whether they stay in hutches all the time or are allowed to forage on grass? I adopted two from a breeder who was keeping them in hutches. Mine now forage with my standard size flock and they love it!

    Newbie here! Call duckling questions

    I feed my two call ducks Mazuri waterfowl and they also get treats of peas and meal worms, sometimes a little watermelon, or tiny chopped kale. They sure are adorable!

    New to ducks! Need help

    They are beautiful. Not sure on the breeds - the white one could be Pekin or Duclair or White layer. Please know that if you have a male duck they can not be kept with chickens as the mating parts are different and he could kill a hen. If you have one of each the ratio needs to be much higher...

    Possible mating injury

    Yes, definitely figure out a solution to protect your girls from injury. I've read of even worse ones. Maybe let them together only when you are standing right there to supervise.

    Help!

    Probably a reproduction issue. It might be best to euthanize her humanely so she's not suffering, if the vet's not sure and you're unable to test and get treatment. You don't want her to suffer!
