    Duck's bill and tongue injured in predator attack

    On the recommendation of someone knowledgeable, I had her euthanized at the vet. Ducks need their tongues to manipulate their food and to swallow. Unfortunately, the raccoon got most of it in the attack. If it had just been the bill, I would have given it a chance to heal. Thank you for the...

    Incubation Period for Roman Tufted Goslings ...

    Hello all, This is my first time posting, though I've read these forums for many years. I'm a kindergarten teacher. I've been hatching in my classroom every spring for the last 14 years. I started with chicks and then moved onto ducklings, which I fell in love with. So much so that I kept some...
