    Are these duck nails normal? Or anything to worry about?

    Hi! It's been a while since I've been in here, and I was curious for people's opinions of my boy's nails. Without looking closely they seem fine (and honestly, my initial instinct is that they are) but I'm new to having ducks so I want to have other other people's opinions. I never really...

    Runner is laying down a lot

    One of my runners hurt her leg a little while back and I’ve had to put up our male since he kept making it worse. It has healed since then but now she lays around a lot more than normal but she walks just fine and keeps up with the other girls. She also seems to be molting so I don’t know if...

    Indian Runner duck just started limping

    Hi! I have 8 Indian runner ducks (females). Today I noticed one of them starting to limp. I was worried it was bumble foot, but upon inspection, the only thing we saw was a tiny wound on the top of her foot. This is my first time raising ducks (and first post!). Is there a spray or an ointment I...

    Is this wet feather?

    Hi! My duck seems to be wet on only her neck. I have picked her up and checked her over and she is dry everywhere else but her neck is wet to the touch, I have some photos I will attach as well. Has anyone seen wet feather only on the neck? I've tried googling this but can't find anything.

    Creaking runner?

    Hey all! So I think I may have asked this question before, but what does this weird creaking sound mean?! I finally caught a video of Frances while he was grooming and you can clearly hear the sound. However, my other runners make the same sound when they're just standing in the coop! Any ideas?

    Ducks constantly sick

    Hi all, I have been taking my runner duck and mallard to the bird vet every 6 months for checkups - especially because my runner suffers from low calcium and needs an implant every 6 months to stop her laying eggs. However this is not the only problem, it seems they both always have something...

    Indian Runner Confusion

    I purchased 6 straight run indian runner ducklings off of craigslist this spring, they were hatched on mother's day from a mallard runner drake, a fawn hen and a blue hen. It looks like we had 3 males and 3 females judging by the tail curl. Lots of different colors! I found it hard to voice sex...

    Runner duck with funny leg?

    My boy Frances is almost 10 months old. He struggled to hatch alone due to humidity problems in the incubator, so we helped him out. He was born with a slight limp, which at first we thought was just due to him struggling to hatch, but as he grew it never changed. I did so much research online...
