    Runner duck bald patch?

    My Runner duck Storm is 6 months old and I noticed this bald patch around her eyes and down her neck. She's the only one with the bald patch, my other girls and boys are fine. I have also noticed my ducks are molting their feathers, along with my chickens, which I suppose is down to it coming up...

    Runner duck with dislocated hock

He was laying down and stretched his leg behind him and the leg then stayed that way when he tried to get up. I picked him up to try to see what the problem was and I felt the hock pop back in. I took...

    Help! Strange spot on duck bill

    I just noticed this strange spot on my runner ducks bill. It puckers around the edges, there’s no bleeding or oozing. She’s eating and drinking fine and has lots of energy. My other duck seems fine. Anyone seen this before? Any ideas? Should I be contacting a vet?

    Runner duck over mating?

    I have a lovely Muscovy girl that I believe is being overmated by one of our runner drakes. He constantly follows her around and mates with her. He first tried in the pool but I think he couldn’t, erm, make it work mechanically, so now he chases her around on land. I didn’t realize he was...

He seemed to think it’s because...

    6 mixed ducklings in New Orleans

    We had an amazingly successful duckling hatch last week- so much so that we have more ducks than we need or want! The ducks are straight run (we’re not confident enough to try to sex them ourselves) and are a mix of mostly rouen and various runners. They hatched between 12/1-12/3 so they’re a...

    Indian Runner with a really large crop? Normal?

    I have one Indian runner female duck that I have noticed has a large “jiggly” crop area. Has anyone on here had to help their duck clear their crop? I’ve read where some people make them throw up, but I’m scared it may hurt her. I noticed it looked full and jiggly yesterday, but I didn’t think...

    Grit Availability Question

    Hi there! So I have two 12-week old runners, one drake one duck**, and I am having a tough time giving them grit. I have tried to keep it out and available to them, but they either get food and water mixed up in it OR when I separate it from their food, they poop in it. I will probably end up...
