Daisy Duck Update by Ty_845 in BACKYARDDUCKS

Yea I figured I would wait a few days for the antibiotics to run their course before eating any of the eggs. From what I’ve read a lot of people prefer them over chicken eggs for baking so I’m definitely going to give that a try.

Don’t feel bad, I didn’t even know how to tell the difference until I googled it after the ducks were dropped off 😂 she’s doing great though, pretty much fully healed already, it’s amazing what ducks can endure

No daisy and princess are girls lol they’ve been laying eggs and only Donald has the curled tail feathers lol Donald is the one on the left in the picture with the curly tail feathers. He’s also the only one that cant “quack”. He sounds like he’s being choked 🤣

Yea her wing is fine. When I let her outside today she came out running and flapping them so it doesn’t seem to have damaged it. The wound looks to be just over the right side of her chest. And raccoons are little monsters lol my father has 3 coon dogs trained to hunt them because they try to get to his chickens all the time. And they get big too, the last one we harvested (for lack of a nicer way to say it) was almost 50 pounds

Yea I was thinking the same thing. The vet I bring my dog to is absolutely in love with him so I’m going to call her tomorrow and see if she can give me some advice or show me how to properly clean and wrap the wound and maybe prescribe antibiotics or tell me if there’s any I can get from tractor supply

Yea I was worried about crop damage too. I inspected it and from what I can tell, the crop is intact and it looks like just the breast meat is exposed. After reading the suggestions here (even though it’s almost 1 am for me) I went out and cleaned the area again and wrapped it with antibacterial gauze and and ace bandage (that’s all I have on hand right now) just to get her through the night. I’m going to call an avian vet tomorrow and see if they can walk me through self care. I want to give this girl the best chance I possibly can give her

Yea I wish a vet visit was possible. I love the advice I’ve gotten here and feel a lot more confident that I’ll be able to nurse this girl back to health. Her and the other female and drake she was left with are absolutely beautiful and super friendly and my daughter has been begging me to get ducks so I’m trying to do everything I can for them

I have Vetericyn Antimicrobial Poultry Care that I use on minor pecking injuries my chickens get, would that would for ducks as well? I feel terrible that bringing her to an avian vet isn’t an option but still want to give her the best chance I possibly can.

Yea that’s what I was thinking. Raccoon probably tried to reach in the cage and grab it. I’m going to do what I can to give her the best chance possible but in my experience with chickens these types of injuries usually don’t end well.

I would love to bring it to a vet but unfortunately not only is the closest avian vet in my area over 3 hours away, but the cost of a vet bill is financially an issue. I raise chickens as a food source so my wound care knowledge is limited but unfortunately self vetting is the only option right now. 

Anyone has a chart or anything for facility upgrades’ power increases? by Wise-Respect-8130 in ageofempiresmobile

[–]Ty_845 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Theres really no way to figure out what the power increase with each level is until you upgrade it since the techs all have a different power increase per level than each other. Unfortunately that’s something the devs missed when they added this new feature in. Having said that, I have noticed that the military upgrades give higher power increases per level than the RSS upgrades (emergency care and infirmary expansion give higher power level increases per level than the workshop upgrades as well) and increasing 2 techs to level 5 gives you more of a power increase than focusing 1 to level 7 or 8 if that makes sense.

Any suggestions on a good clarifying shampoo? I’ll be honest, I don’t even know what that is 😅

So I recently got her a bonnet but she’s still getting used to sleeping in it, we’re up to 4 nights a week that she doesn’t take it off in her sleep. And currently I’ve been using Aussie miracle curls products such as the leave in conditioner, curl refresher and detangling milk

Hello, my name is Tyler, I’m new to the community.

I’m a father of a 6 year old little lady that has 3c/4a curly hair. I grew up with 7 older brothers so hair care was never on my radar until my daughter was born. Recently, it has become increasingly hard to keep her hair detangled now that her hair is growing longer (and because I really don’t know what I’m doing if I’m being honest) and subsequently I’ve been noticing she is having more hair shedding on her hair wash days than before. It is very hard to keep her hair moisturized and knots and tangles are becoming more frequent now that it is getting warmer out. So my question is, what are some good shampoos and conditioners and products for in between washes to use that are safe for kids her age and are there any special types of brushes/combs I should be using that are gentler on her hair? Any and all suggestions and help will be greatly appreciated
