How accurate is wing sexing based on the shape of the wings? 1step wing vs 2step "w" shape wing. I have 7 week coturnix quail.

Thank you! Yes I know a few local resumes as well.

There are several abandoned domestic ducks at Lindo Lake near my house. They aren't doing well. Many have angel wing and one looks like it survived an attack. I have 5 ducks at home and fully capable of taking one or two in. Am I aloud to rescue the dumped ducks?

What's the white one with the black bill?! I've been searching for a all white duck with a black bill and feet, but I have no idea what breed it is😂 I've seen pictures, but still don't know the breed🤷‍♀️

Definitely a blue swedish. I have a male just like it. It can take a while for the bill to change if it's a male. If it's a female, the bill will remain the same color. The tail can also take a while to curl. I would base it on quack!

This comment is exactly what I needed!

Good to know! Thank you! Maybe activated charcoal isn't the way to go.

5 ducks. They are currently using a 90 gallon stock tank, but they will be upgrading to a 2,000 gallon stock tank that I will probably install a filter on. I used the 2,000 gallon before with more ducks and I was able to go longer without cleaning, but yeah I'm sure a filter of some sort would...

Has anyone used activated charcoal in their duck pool/pond for filtration purposes? Curious... I put the pond shock bacteria in there yesterday with fresh water and already looking dirty. Don't know if it's even possible to keep it clean without a filter, but I'm determined until we upgrade...

Yeah I agree. Probably a leak. I have never had an issue with either of my stock tanks!

Yeah I'm pretty mad at myself. I feel like I let this happen since I knew the fence needed to be more sturdy or stronger. Until we replace it, I'd rather keep them safe in their run. Thank you so much for your help🙏

Yes, they're run is fully predator proof. It's covered with chicken wire across the top and some wood/tin on one end over their house for rain. but their open area where they get to free range where their pool is is not predator proof, but there is a "fence" to keep my dog away. He's done fine...

Thank you guys! Your advice is more than appreciated!

Hey duck buddies. I just moved my ducks pool inside their locked run. They usually get to go in and out as they please and I lock them up at night and their pool is usually just outside their run. However, until we have either a chain link or sturdier fence, I want to keep them in their run...

I contacted the company I got them from. They said it should be fine since it's been a month or so since I've applied the DE. So....🤷‍♀️

I released 10,000 fly predators a couple weeks ago, but something just occurred to me. All my ducks bedding which is covering the whole floor of their run is mixed with Diatomaceous Earth🤦‍♀️ I realized that if DE kills flies, it probably kills fly predators too. Looked it up and sure enough, it...

My mallard was found by my neighbor thank goodness. She just went a little adventure, but she's home now.

Sadly no🥺

Good point. Thank you.

That makes sense. Thank you! Yeah I'm gonna check Lindo Lake close by🤦‍♀️ Hopefully she won't blend in with the others.
