Male call duck is hopping around on one foot while his other foot is curled up. His eyes are also watering, making his face crusty.
It started a week ago and at first I thought it was bumblefoot but now I'm not so sure. I've been soaking his foot in salt water every day for the past week and it...
I find myself raising 13 ducklings and a gosling, and pretty soon need to decide who to keep. We’re pretty set on keeping the gosling because it’s so, so sweet and then would like to keep all one gender of some of the ducklings. Five are drakes, and I am considering keeping them as a bachelor...
Oh my goodness I'm hook line and sinker in love with ducks. I got 2 white campbell ducklings bought for me as an early 30th birthday present and they love nothing more than a snuggle, their little feet have been a bit sharp but nothing too terrible but my goodness tonight I look like I've been...
Hi all!
I have three Peckin Ducks and one White Chinese Goose. The ducks are almost four months old and Frankie (goose) is nearing two months.
When he was a baby, the ducks picked on him A LOT, so we kept them separated. As he’s gotten older and bigger, we let them socialize more hoping they...
I'm looking for ideas on coop/run design for a "larger" combined flock of ducks and geese. We are looking to get 10 Indian Runner ducks, 1 Cayuga, 1 Rouen, and 2 Pilgrim geese at the beginning of June. Right now we're in the planning stage, and are needing to build a new coop and run to house...
I don’t think I can keep a family of eagles from attacking the ducks whenever they want. The geese can give a warning, but I just don’t think that gives them enough time to get under cover especially when the trees have no leaves. There are 3 eagles all together. 2 adults and a juvenile. I am...
Ok spring is in full swing of things here. My trio of Toulouse geese have always been a little grumpy towards other members and animals on our flock. Nothing I didn’t expect. Yet, never really thought it through with spring time and including them while everyone else hatch’s and sits and does...
Hello!
I am about to place my order from a local hatchery. I am a 1st time duckling/duck owner. I currently live on a small hobby farm. My family and I have decided that this is the year we will start to get animals for our farm. I am currently getting 20 chicks, and 4-6 ducklings. At this time...
We have 3 American Buff Geese who are <1 year old (born in March). We think we have 1 female and 2 males (based on size). One gander is not super friendly (also not aggressive), the female is sweet but sometimes a bully to our female ducks, and the other gander (and the biggest goose) is a total...
