They ate like 4-5 pellets each probably while I was scrambling around to pick it up. The active ingredient is Morantel Tartrate. It also contains supplemental copper (As far as the goats dosage, I isolate them so I know exactly how much they get. We only have three of them)

My chickens did...some spilled on the ground while I was dosing the goats. It’s the Manna Pro pellet kind in the yellow bag. What do I do? Did I inadvertently poison them?

Are black marans a different bird from black copper marans? I have a solid black one. What color eggs will she lay?

What are some tough breeds of ducks that are relatively good layers? (Tough meaning good foragers, good candidates for free ranging, intelligent enough to evade aerial predators whenever possible, etc)

Ok so an update for anyone reading this with a similar issue... It's been two weeks and the bird is still alive. I did give her some electrolytes concentrated a little bit than they normally would be. At that point, she was so bad off that I didn't think there was anything to lose. I don't...

So it's reasonable to still be in shock at this point? I've had birds have similar reactions before but never lasted this long. Now, we did have two days with wind chills below zero over the weekend so maybe those two things combined just weakened her more

Well she's a 1 1/2 yr old hen that was "played with" by a dog on Friday. No obvious external injuries but acting weak and lethargic. Checked for egg binding... no dice. I've been trying to get her to drink electrolytes to get her energy up. She will drink if I put her beak to water, but she may...

Does it have to be used at the recommended concentration of one packet for one gallon of water? I have a bird who doesn't seem interested in drinking much and I was wondering about dissolving it in a smaller amount of water and giving it to her through a dropper

One of my hens who was already low in the pecking order went missing Sunday. I assumed she got picked up by a hawk, but she showed up last night relatively unscathed. Now, some of the other hens are pecking her almost like they don't recognize her. She's got bloody wounds on her comb and her...

Your pond looks amazing! Did you do it yourself or have someone install it? Did you happen to take pics of the process?

If their wings are clipped can they still get onto low branches, etc. to escape roaming dogs?

My plan was to remove the Khaki eggs from the nest and only allow the Muscovies to hatch their own eggs. I hadn't even thought about not being able to tell the difference. I would've thought the Khaki eggs would be smaller since the birds are smaller. Any Muscovy and MD owners want to weigh in?

Certainly!

I'm thinking if I get three, the odds are much higher that I'll have too many drakes. If I get five, I am much more likely to have enough females...

I want to add some Muscovies but don't know how many to get. I want them for pest control in the garden, a few eggs (maybe), and hatching ducklings to sell. I can get them straight run from someone locally. I have three Khaki Campbell hens already. How many Muscovies should I get? Three...

They look a lot like my Khaki Campbell ducklings

I looove this. There's nothing like the smell of wet shavings mixed with duck mess. Does the pan get really heavy when you have to empty the water?

Picked up three Khaki Campbells today and bought this yellow one as well. No idea what breed it is. Ideas? It's slightly bigger than the khakis.

I think pullets, too. For anyone referencing my original thread, they both turned out to be pullets and are laying up a storm!

My husband and I processed 5 chickens last Sunday. Nine days ago. I let them rest in the fridge and then went out of town for the holidays-completely forgetting to freeze them before I left, so they're still in the fridge. Should we freeze them or throw them out?
