Hello, I don't see much improvement, she is limping and likes to sit down. I placed her in the bathtub filled with water, she can swim and move her legs, but she can't walk on land.
Thank you so much! I want to keep her, I have a back yard that I can make it safe for her to stay and getting a female duck is a good idea :) do you know where I can purchase adult ducks?
One more question, when I put antibiotics to her eyes, first I wash it with saline water and then apply...
Thank you! she is limping, I thought it might be from sitting all day. I placed her in bathtub and filled the water to where she can stand and walk around, I left the room and came back to check on her. she jumped out of the tub and was standing by the window. Seems the limping is getting worse...
Thank you!!! I give her Purina duck food, which has prebiotics and Niacin. My concern is her eyes. do you think she will get her vision back? Also, I am traveling in 10 days and don't have anyone to watch her, do you know if any places that might take care of her until I am back?
Hello, I live in a house facing a lake, there is a white Pekin duck that comes to my backyard and I have been feeding her for years. On April 1st she was sitting on her eggs across the lake in the neighbor's yard, she got attacked by 7 drakes all day and all night. When she came to my yard for...
hi thank you for your reply, i decided to leave her alone. she is 2 weeks old and very attached to her mom. I don't feel separating her is a good idea. Best Regards!
Hi, a muscovy duck hatched 10 ducklings in my backyard 2 weeks ago, and I have been taking care of them. one of them started limping real bad, I think the other ducks stepped on her. I was thinking of bringing her inside (with one of her brother/sister) and watching over her for 2 weeks to see...
Hello i wanted to follow up and see if the chicks got better. A ducked hatched 8 duckling and let one behind. The duckling can't stand and can't hold his neck up. I made warm place for him and gave him water and sugar water that was suggested by BrattishTaz. not sure what else i can do. I...
i rescued 4 baby ducks and purchased one brown duck from store. I introduced them to the back yard lake last night and they seem to be doing well. 4 of them used the ramp i built for them and came back to the my yard. the brown duck didn't follow them stayed in the water chirping. the other...
my backyard is facing a lake with a lot of ducks. I rescued 3 ducklings, they are 3 weeks old. can I let them free in the backyard? I have been keeping them inside the house at night and during the day, in a playpen area (fence with door) with sun shades, so they can't get out to go to the...
of course, I have a outdoor play area with a small pool ready for them and the mom doesn't go anywhere, I feed her every day multiple times to make sure she stay and when I bring the ducklings out, I can see they communicate. I will leave them in the play area and see if the mom comes near and...
My house face a lake (not a real one) there are a lot of ducks live here. sometimes ducklings get separated from mom and I bring them inside and take care of them for 3 to 4 weeks before letting them go back to the water (I raised 22 ducklings since 2020). One pekin duck hatches babies every...
I read somewhere that Ducklings can swim at hatch, but they haven't yet developed the oil on their feathers unless they hatched under a mother duck. I found 3 ducklings, they are 10 days old, if they go back to the water, can they stay on the water for a long time? or they lost the oil since...
