    Hope

    This is hope. Three days she laid lifeless like this, I honestly thought she wasn’t going to make it. But with a little TLC from my self and my wife, we managed to give her a glimmer of ”HOPE” She is now the head duck and she is so beautiful with a really perky personality. My favourite

  9. Injured Duck Wing

    My Khaki Campbell has a seemingly injured left wing. She keeps it mostly tucked in and cannot flap it. Right now an avian physician is not an option. I've just let it be for around a week to see if it's just a sprain and will heal on it's own, but I've had little improvement. I think I should...

  14. Not sure what’s wrong with my girl :(

  18. Missing-Duck Scare - Story Time

    I’ve had my fair share of “missing-duck scares,” that is, thinking a duck is missing, when really they’re just around the corner, doing their own thing. Usually it’s my elder drake, Cherry, who likes his alone time. Today, however, I went out on my back porch to count the ducks, and someone...
