If your duck’s beak looks anything like that, it’s totally normal.

By the way, Nancy who made the duck diapers passed away this year. Her husband still makes and sells the duck diapers now.

Best,

I have my fingers crossed that the Sam and Lily will make a full recovery so they can put in weight and go to a 4-ever home where they will never want for love or food.

I think Sam would not be capable of such deep and heartfelt disapproval if he was not feeling better. I am sorry that I was only able to give a small amount to the rescue fund, but I hope to spread the word about these ducks and the amazing work you do!

But as the saying goes, 'it is what it is' and we have to concentrate on Sam and Lily hopefully having a full recovery. Thanks for the updates Tiff.

I wonder how this all could have gone so out of hand. Breaks my heart to hear that Jane was starving, no animal should be starving (it's all caused by her not eating because she was so ill, or has the fatct that they lacked good nutrition made them extra vulnerable for illness?). I'm sorry Sam and Lily didn't get their clean bill yet, but I hope they are on the mend and will be okay soon. Good for you to keep them apart from your ducks for a while, you don't want to take any risk. Thanks for the update, looks like they will need yor care for a little longer. Good kids, thanks for taking them for another check up. I'm so sorry Jane, rest in peace sweet kid. Poor ducks. I wonder how this all could have gone so out of hand.
