Thanks @Wyorp Rock i have been putting her in a empty pot with a towel in it so it sort of holds her body up but let's her legs hang down to stop her from being on her legs all day haha. I sent the pic you sent me to my husband and asked him to build me something similar so thanks for that, what...

@Wyorp Rock excuse the poop but I thought it better to post pics of it instead of describing.

Thanks for the replies. I haven't redosed yet @Wyorp Rock must have missed that step. I think it's only been about 10 days since so I can do it now. I hope I didnt throw out the ivermectin I have attached some pics. I have to bathe her every second day as she poos on herself and gets it all...

Posted on here a while back about scaly leg treatment, I gave her the ivermectin as she was lame and has severe scaly leg. I've been bathing her every two to three days and putting vasolene on. However she is still lame, it's been about 3 weeks. I feed her and give her water and am hoping she...

Ok thanks so much for all that @casportpony shes asleep now so I will dose her tomorrow. She's not eating but is drinking water. I will let you know how I go. Thanks so much for all the information and for your time.

@casportpony shes 1950grams so 4.299 pound? Im scared I'm gonna stuff this up. So the ivermectin is 18.7g/kg and just to clarify I put it in her mouth not on her neck?

Ok she's back on food and drink today! Still lame though. So how how do I work out 0.2-0.4mg of ivermectin paste per kilo? And do I put it in her mouth or on her neck @casportpony @Wyorp Rock Thanks for all your help everyone :)

@Lady of McCamley @Wyorp Rock@casportpony So he doesn't know what the other one died of. He said all his chickens end up doing that. Just stop moving and then he cuts of their heads usually or they die naturally. One of its feet is really red, I have taken new photos today I will attach. The...

Thanks for the replies @Lady of McCamley and @debid and @Wyorp Rock I have some ivermectin but I have accidentally bought the horse paste, will that work or do I need pour on stuff? So she's lame and not eating or drinking now. Won't eat scrambled egg or anything. Looks alert and not in shock...

hi everyone, my neighbour has given me his chicken as he doesn't have the time to care for him as his other one died the other day. From what it looks like to me this chicken has a horrific case of scaly leg mites. I treated the other day with Vaseline and then again two days later and today...

Thanks @misslydia Ok I think I will have to re home the Muscovy drake (he's my favourite though ) as he is the one who has been what I thought was mating my runner mix all the time and trying to mate my chickens. The runner mix has always been such a gentleman I didn't even know he was a male. I...

@misslydia it is about 1year old. I believe it is a male as I finally heard its hissing this morning,it seems the new girl has brought out his personality. So if it were you would you get rid of one drake? I haven't seen any sexual behaviour since this first occasion yesterday. I have to go out...

Thanks for the replies, my fear is them mating with her too much and hurting her or something as it would be two drakes to the one girl? Or Do two drakes and one girl sometimes work out ok? @junebuggena @misslydia

Sorry to post again but I have some pics that I was hoping someone could tell me the sex of my Muscovy x Indian runner. It's the large black and white one. I always thought it was a girl but she's never layed any eggs and yesterday she appeared to mate with a new girl I introduced I need to...

So I bought new Muscovy duck today for my male as he was giving the other "female" (Muscovy x Indian runner) a hard time along with my chickens, trying to mate all the time. So when I let the new girl loose, as soon as they saw her they BOTH mounted her and now I feel I must have had two...
