A Ute is a farm truck -it’s got a tray in the back to carry bales or soil & water tanks and stuff - I think they are also called pick-up trucks ?

I have a Muscovy duck and she has taken over a birdcage that the cat used to sleep in (I know all dysfunctional on our farm) and made a nest and started sitting- problem is it is in the carport under the tray of our farm Ute - the cat used to like it there -problem is another duck can’t be...

Thanks that is a great article. I have now idea how long my lil ones would have been at or above the lethal temp of 105°F = 40.6°C just that it was alarming and the day was very got earlier so may have even a few hours- will have to hope and wait watch and see.

I left home very early today (5am) and have some eggs in the bator- they are day 19. The temp is set 36.9 and the humidity is hovering around 45% Icame home at 7pm and the alarm was ringing "HI" and the temp reading was 40.2'C I turned the bator off and let it cool to 36.5 but apparently it got...

Any thoughts ??

Am Oh Amy- I decapitated my ducks when I tried the broom method too- :( I also bought a neck breaker and I guess my chooks and ducks just have rubber necks- I couldn't get them to break the neck and die- I would feel a crunch and they looked dead but after a few minutes hanging upside down...

This is the group with my big male.

I recently bought 3 young Muscovy ducks and they said at auction they were 3 young females. I am actually wondering if they are 2 drakes and a female because if the eye redness pattern - I have a large drake and they all look like him with the redaround the eye extending to the face whereas one...

Sorry I just knew that you all would get a chuckle. :)

They made it out!!! My first guineas!!!

I just had the same experience - so tough - i am now really worried about my furst guineas in the bator- how the heck does the lil keet get thru that?! Do you have to raise the humidity a lot at hatch time or just the same as chooks?

My first muscovys- I have a very patient husband!

Thank you -all i had was some soluable aldi style berocca so i made it up & gave the duckling 1 ml by syringe & then gave it as the drinking water choice- within a few hours of vitamins in its water s/he is still squatting a lot but has stood & walked many times. Will keep fingers crossed!

Also a/he has been in the bator all day and is not fluffy- more like wiry & it's fluff is coming off.

When held up on the standing position the duckling doesn't "take" any weight or stretch its lil feet out. Should I make lil shoes like for chickens??
