    OUTFITS FOR DUCKS & GEESE

    I’m going to add every listing on Etsy I can find, I’ll keep updating. If none work you can always reach out to the sellers, if they’re already making some sort of costumes for chickens they’re more likely to be able to make something else. Also I have no idea who’s goose this is or who made...

    Gander crabby AGAIN???

    Most species besides corvids and parrots “to my knowledge” don’t really preen each other as adults, most of mine don’t really like being snuggled once they reach full maturity, though that raises an interesting conundrum because some do. It’s not natural for their species yet I’ve had a few...

    Rats🫩

    Terriers are the #1 best ratters, but my old Aussie was excellent as is her half golden cross daughter Bailey. Pretty much any dog that has average agility and willingness can make a good ratter. I have a mastiff that is enthusiastic but he’s too big and slow to really do anything and he ends...

    Gander crabby AGAIN???

    lol I do that too when they’re extra naughty, I call them “tail squidges” and warn them that if they keep it up “I’ll squidge your tail again!”

    Rats🫩

    As you found out even removing the food doesn’t work. Rats are smart and when they learn there’s a cozy place they can get into but predators can’t, like a coop, they set up shop food or not. I use no kill traps, in my experience kill traps only work two or three times before the rats learn to...

    Need help, should i intervene

    It should be fine under the lamp, if you’re worried about shrink wrapping from the membrane you can mist with water or apply water carefully to the outside shell. Two years ago I had this happen with one of my ducks, Bee killed her first ducklings as soon as they started to pip so I had to take...

    Ended Memories of Summer—2025

    I had a lot of new experiences this summer, from raising coturnix quail chicks for the first time to my old duck Bee finally achieving motherhood by hatching her adorable son Bramble, but you can’t have the sweet without the bitter in life. At the start of summer Leo “in the pic” and I lost our...

    gander squeaks, shakes head, sneezing

    I use powder because that’s the only kind I can get without a prescription, this stuff in particular https://birdpalproducts.com/products/tylosin-powder-for-birds?_pos=1&_sid=3da5a729e&_ss=r I measure out what I need with a gram scale and mix it inside a syringe with a little water and...

    I think my duck has bad arthritis

    I would follow Jenbirdee’s suggestions, if there isn’t noticeable improvement a vet can prescribe meloxicam which will manage her pain. You can also try glucosamine /cosequin, the dosage for small dogs is about right for a duck. Another thing to try is tart cherry extract which can relieve...

    Duck limping

    Also sometimes it can help getting them to eat again if you mix their feed with enough water to make soup, it encourages play and foraging behavior which can get them eating again.
