Ahhhhhh fantastic, what a relief! Actually we just started to see new neck feathers on duckface, so we suspected this....such a relief as about 5 of our ducks do indeed look quite terrible right now and I worried that we were feeding them wrongly or something but couldnt think why! Thank you!!!

Ah ok yes great idea ill try these things and keep you updated. Thanks again, so much :)

Yeah unfortunately no, we're in yemen where theres hardly any vets letalone vets with xray equipment! Sedation is a good idea though...illl see if we can try that, thanks

Her poop seems fine I think tho there was a time when it was a white liquid. I think the likely thing is that she does have something in her throat like plastic or something as although her appetite is great now and shes always hungry, she seema to eat a bit strangely, from the side of her beak...

Some of my ducks have started to look a bit ugly as their feathers have lost their sheen and are breaking. Is yhis normal? The thing is that half the ducks are fine looking but the older ones are losing their looks. These also dont want to get in the pond and run away in the rare occasions we...

Thanks for all your advice. We still are none the wiser about whats wrong with lucia...but after 3 antibiotic injections from the vet she seemed to have gained appetite, especially for watermelon! And put on weight. But we realise that she keeps spitting something, like mucus, she nods her head...

Thanks for all the advice I really appreciate it. Just an update, ive given her her vitamin water and charcoal and she seems to have more energy now, shes been munching on tomatoes but was having trouble swallowing at first...so maybe theres something stuck in her throat...also she weighs next...

Oh thankyou...I hadnt thought of the pesticides and stuff...ill wash it all more carefully from now on. Her poop seems pretty normal, havent spotted any worms, I have a bottle of apple vinegar, which I think is the same thing more or less, what should I do with that? Put a spoonful in her water...

Haha yes it certainly is a long way but my birds keep me sane! She seems generally ok to be honest, I tried her on some meal worm pellets earlier, which she was quite keen to taste but paco wouldnt let her so im not sure if he's helping or hindering. Theyre both keen on cabbage and theyre...

Thanks for the advice...ill see if I can find that, im sure it will help...she doesnt get any grass unfortunately because it really isnt available here in yemen but she does get plenty of other greens. Im not sure how old she is, ive had her for nearly 6 months but she's yet to lay so she must...

Hi ive seen my lady goose lucia sleeping with her neck on the ground a couple of times lately, rather than tucked behind her in her feathers as she usually does. What can I do? She still usually sleeps normally and doesnt seem to have any other problems, she happily walks around with her head in...

And one more for now...here's Duckles on the left with her only surviving baby out of 4 she laid. Tiny Tim is on the right, so called as he was the tiniest of 9 ducks and didn't grow properly, but now he's catching up, while they're all big and strong though, he looks like a miniature version...

OK I'm doing badly with uploading my photos...but here's one I managed yo take of the only bird who likes to pose...Paco the goose

Heehee thanks, I promise I'll post photos soon...I just got a new phone and all my nice photos are still on the old one. Anyway, chicken is djaj...guinea fowl is something like hajaj...any others? I'll ask my friends

Thanks everyone! I'll post some pics of my birds soon...I've got a lot of pictures! And the Guinea fowls and one goose have just made a cameo in a short film here too!

Hi thanks for the links...I'll try giving them some more protein and see if that helps. They're all kept outside in the garden and get regular sunlight (6-6) but protein can be hard. There's no special foods available here so we feed them grain, veg and whatever else we can find.

Shukran! I've been checking the forums here for some time and now I have a guinea fowl question about eggs...just posted it!

Hi I have kept a pair of guinea fowl for 8 months or so and started getting eggs maybe 2 months ago. But recently the eggs have started changing in size. I got a really big one the other day. And yesterday I found a perfectly formed, miniature one. The one in the middle of the photo is normal...

Hi I have 18 ducks, 2 geese, 3 turkeys, 2 guinea fowl and some doves in my house in Yemen, they're lovely :-) Hello to everyone (and by the way, batha means duck in Arabic)
