    I think my duck has bad arthritis

    My Blue Swedish duck Stormy is 7yrs 3m and can barely walk anymore. She mostly stands in one place or sits and quacks for the her friends to back. Her right leg is turned in a lot. Is there anything I can do? Thanks

    Miracle baby gender reveal + photos & videos :)

    I posted 5.5 weeks back that one of my ducks had a surprise baby. I named them, “Miracle.” I thought I’d know their gender much sooner, but this baby has been one heck of a fooler. Miracle has had a mix of raspy-boy and honking-girl voice for the past few weeks. Finally, at 5 weeks, they picked...

    Lethargic ducks

    I have six runner ducks and five chickens. The chickens' routine fecal test came back positive for roundworms so I started deworming both flocks. They don't live together but they share a fence. I've seen no real symptoms other than decreased egg production in both. I'm day three into Aquasol...

    Adult duck had seizures but miraculously recovered, what was wrong with her?

    Hello. I have been a longtime reader on the duck forum but have never had an account or posted, so hopefully I’m doing this in the right place. Firstly, this is not urgent.

    What is wrong with my duck?

    My duck has been breathing like this for a week now and it seems to get worse then it’ll be better but I’m worried now she isn’t going to make it. Could it be aspergillus exposure? I have 1 other duck and 5 chickens that are all perfectly fine. What can I do to help her?

    Age related wet feather - how do I fix this?

    Hey y'all, I'm worried about my houseduck Wobbles. He turned 11 this year and he's got some issues going on, he's developed cataracts in both eyes and he's generally slowed down a bit. But for the last couple weeks or so, he's been suffering from pretty severe wet feather. His oil gland is just...

    Whoops..

    Well, I clearly have not been keeping as good of an eye on my ducks as I thought. Someone has been very sneaky. I’m not even sure how they did it, either, as my ducks usually only have access to the coop overnight. Conditions must’ve been just enough for this little one. As of 2 days ago, we...
