This is all I did for feeding my chickens/ducks around my goats and they don’t get into it. But my goats are pretty mellow.

Sorry if I’m replying twice…I’m in AK and would love to get some Hedmoras.

Hi there, I’m in Alaska and looking for Hedmoras. Do you have an hatching eggs available?

That’s great advice, thanks so much. That is really close to what it looks like. A little raised cauliflower growth like you sometimes see in a red color on peoples bodies

Definitely not frostbite..

I’ve wiped it down before and under the dried blood, it looks just like a fat raisin. It has a bumpy, cauliflower texture. There’s nothing on the other side of the foot.

It’s been there at least 6 months or more. Seems to bleed when nicked or when she’s been sitting and warms it up. It’s cold here in Anchorage now so it doesn’t bleed when she’s out feeding in the cold

I added a pic to my original post, thanks

Hi, I have a 3 year old Silver Appleyard and I noticed a growth about the size of a large pea on the webbing of her foot. It’s on top, not underneath. It bleeds quite a bit when it’s warm, stops when it’s cold (her feet). It looks like a tiny piece of cauliflower. Any ideas? She doesn’t limp.

I have 4 Welsh Harlequins, 3 ladies, 1 drake. The drake only mates with one of the ladies and they all lay in the same nest. One has gone broody and I’d like her to hatch a duck and only one egg looks fertile out of the 9 she’s sitting on. Will I risk her abandoning the nest if I take out all...

Duck egg question: I left town for 5 days. One duck was already broody and sitting on 9 eggs. My duck sitter didn’t collect any eggs from our other two ducks. While I was gone, they all laid in the broody girls’ nest. Came home to two ducks happily sharing one nest full of 26 eggs. I had marked...

I put a packet of save-a-chick in their water and squirted a little in the mouth of the two I was worried about. In 20 min they started drinking, then eating on their own. Now they seem tons better. It's crazy. I feel so responsible. I'm keeping this in their water for the next month or so to be...

Thank you, I'll try and find that. I'm waiting for the feed store to open at 10 so I can get vitamins of some kind. You can see the size difference of those front two is massive. They are at least 2/3 bigger than the little ones. And I feel at two weeks of age those big ones are probably growing...

I've been giving the niacin for about 1 week. I had emailed Scratch & Peck asking if their chick starter had enough niacin for ducklings and they said it did. So I didn't supplement the first week. Then they said it was a little low (25mg/lb, Storey's guide says they need 30) I've been giving...

I'm really hoping I'm feeding my ducklings correctly. They are 10 days old and 2-3 are starting to act weird. They fall over and seem to have seizures. Legs go straight back and they get stiff all over. After 20-30 seconds, they come back around. I have been feedling them Scratch & Peck chick...
