Do all breeds of ducks dislike being picked up and carried around?
Maybe Truffle is the exception because he was spoiled growing up watching cartoons on his beanbag. -
Runner Duck labored/heavy breathing
The green is likely a result of her not eating much of anything and the electrolyte water. You might try mixing the feed with a enough water to make a soupy mash, it will encourage her to play with it which might encourage her to eat. -
Runner Duck labored/heavy breathing
Voice changes. Respiratory infections of any kind can alter their voice and make them sound more gurgly and they may be quieter anyway so don’t be alarmed if she sounds like she’s been gargling syrup. Asper changes the voice in a different way, if it is affecting the lungs and trachea it... -

It’s definitely good news that a bacterial infection was diagnosed, at the least it’s cheaper to treat. I will warn you however that asper isn’t necessarily ruled out, asper is sneaky and is difficult to diagnose until it’s progressed so it can require a lot of different tests to find out if... -
Runner Duck labored/heavy breathing
If you can get a bag of 30% game bird start or any 30% feed, dry cat food also works in a pinch, start feeding her that as well as a B vitamin mix. It will help get her weight back up. 30% feed isn’t good for waterfowl long term but it’s excellent as a recovery formula for underweight birds. -

Do all breeds of ducks dislike being picked up and carried around?
Once they’re fully mature they usually don’t like to be picked up, usually. I have a three year old drake who does like to be picked up and snuggled so personality can play a role in it. Maybe if they’re handled every day they can learn to accept it as routine, but mostly they’re not into it... -

Hormonal Roos in winter?
All my quail girls ceased laying around early October and my Roos stopped crowing, not too surprising as I know sunlight affects their hormones and by extension somewhat of their behavior. Except in early November Saffron “one of the denizens of the bro coop “Roos only” started crowing again... -
Devastating bird flu culling
I’m getting the sense that I’m a third wheel in a conversation between more people than I need to know about again. I’ll see myself out. -
