I add ACV in the water everyday as well as minerals because we only have rain water so totally void of minerals....

She does eats slugs... I'll observe more.

Thanks! She is 8 months old approx. She eats bugs, slugs she finds around and in compost + I give her greens that I grow organically, papayas, wheat sprouts, cooked peas & lentils, sometimes a bit of oats.. she has a bathtub that's filled with clean water everyday. She gets to clean her nares...

Hi! I've noticed in a couple of occasions that one of my female Indian Runners have like a mucus snot hanging from nose/mouth. She is super active and is eating well .. everything else looks good ... but I wonder if I should do something about the snot... maybe early signs of respiratory...

I'm so allergic to Neem! ... but I talked to my friend who has ducks and geese. He said that Sulfur is the best at killing feather lice. I think that's what I'll try on coop and do the Sulfur bags .. I'm going to mix in some activated charcoal in the food, just to help to detox the Spinosad..

The rain came down so hard for so long, I think it helped to wash it all off. The sun has come out and they look MUCH better. They are eating and preening like crazy getting all the oil back everywhere. Thanks for the care.

Same thing with the Elector PSP. They are not bound to disclose what the other ingredients are because they are not active ingredients per se. They are ok... The sun came out and they are preening so much which I see now is bringing their feathers back to life. The Spinosad I got is actually...

Hi! Thanks Jen. I cleaned their house and put Permethrin powder under the bedding as per bottle instructions. Now, Elector PSP is just Spinosad so I did my research and bought Spinosad ( same kind as teh Elector PSP), made a solution as per instructions and sprayed it all over their bodies...

My 8 week old gosling and my runner ducks have feather lice. I've dusted them with DE and cleaned their house and put DE there but they are still suffering. Feathers are starting to look raggedy! I can see the suckers on their feathers! Yikes! I've looked around and some people use Ivermectin...

Well, I have pictures of her and the babies but separate ... it's just hard to take pics of them with mama being so protective .. but she is sooo happy and proud!

So I ended up candling the eggs and then I gave her what was obviously good ( at night) and she finished the job... she is SO happy!

Thank you so much :)
