How to Conduct a Duck Health Check

Everything you wanted to know (and some stuff you probably didn’t) about duck health checks!
The Igualdad Sanctuary is located on the outskirts of Santiago de Chile, in a commune called El Monte. This non-profit foundation provides shelter for farm animals who have escaped from the meat, dairy, or egg industry. As of 2022, more than 80 chickens, cows, goats, sheep, and pigs live in harmony at the sanctuary. For more than ten years the sanctuary has rescued, cared for, and protected farm animals who are victims of abuse, cruelty, and abandonment. At the same time, they raise awareness about the complex emotional lives of these animals through storytelling, inspiring people to be more compassionate and kind to animals. While rescue and awareness work is an important part of their mission, Igualdad Sanctuary focuses its efforts on providing a safe space where each of the animals who arrive is protected for life.

Potential Duck Health Challenges

An introductory guide for common duck health issues, illnesses, and diseases. When in doubt, always contact an expert or veterinarian for evaluation!
Dean Farm Trust is a non-profit charity in South Wales based on 62 acres of pasture and woodland and is currently home to more than 180 animals. The residents of Dean Farm Trust come from a variety of backgrounds: Some were unwanted pets, others were neglected, abused, or abandoned, and some were rescued from slaughter. Many of the animals at the sanctuary are extremely vulnerable and need extra care and support. Recognizing this, Dean Farm Trust cares for each animal’s individual physical needs as well as their psychological well-being. Pig residents Jeff, Billy, and Linky are real standouts. Living together in their own “Bachelor Pad” due to their various health challenges, including blindness, deafness, foot issues, and anxiety, they all look after each other and love a good cuddle.

Fun Facts About Ducks

Ducks have the ability to control each of their eyes independently. The information they take in with one eye is stored in their memory on the opposite side of their brain!
Waterfowl will communicate with others in the nest to synchronize their development in order to try and hatch around the same time. They also learn to recognize the sound of their mother’s voice nearby.
Their bills of ducks are highly sensitive with many touch receptors, similar to those in our fingertips and palms!
