    Peking Duck Squaking while walking and biting towards his foot

    We have a Peking duck that has been running with the flock. Sometimes he will squak and bite at his feet. Almost like a dog chasing its tail or a dog that has an itch that he can't reach. Other than this occasional behavior, we haven't noticed any other odd behaviors. We brought him in the...

    Muscovy drake trying to mate with the broody female duck while it is sitting on the eggs?!!

    Hello, I searched a lot about this problem before deciding to post, and I didn't find anyone talking about it.

    How to comfort a duck?

She's not harmed, just a limp (bumblefoot is ruled out). and understandably she's scared and is hiding under anything she can, not coming out unless it's to eat or drink. not even spending time with her other...

    Possible bumblefoot?

    Hello, I noticed my duck limping yesterday which we have seen our other ducks do before and they usually come right the next day. However this duck is still limping on day two and sitting down a lot. She is a free range duck so not very friendly to just pick up. I noticed today her foot was a...
