fly

I was wondering if ducklings can learn to fly on their own. I have two ducks butter and oreo they are 5 months old i think, im wondering when they will try to fly or start flying.

I'm probably not experienced enough to post this so I deeply apologize if I broke any rules making this. What's this about? Well basically just take a photo of one of your birds flying. It can be a chicken, duck, peafowl, pheasant, ̶B̶o̶e̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶7̶3̶7̶, or just anything that can fly. My old...

I'm gonna raise new chickens (the old Alex went missing) and I'd like if some people can help me to give me some tips on raising chicks. Oh and I have questions too 1. I'm gonna get two babies this time. I'm gonna be raising them as pets 100% so if I get two, will they still turn their...

Just wondering what everyone does to help prevent/maintain flies in their coops/runs? I have chickens, quail and ducks and this year has been the worst for the little buggers in the past three years. I have disposable fly traps up in each of the coops, along with vanilla-scented car scents. (I...

Hi everyone :) My partner and I are relocating in December from Cairns, QLD to South Australia (about 2,600km). We have 6 hens, all around 2-3 years of age, who we love dearly and will definitely be bringing with us! I was wondering if anyone else here has transported their chickens similar...

Can someone tell me if this is flystrike on my hens chest? I've had chickens my whole life and never dealt with flystrike before. If it is flystrike, how do I treat it?

My chicken coop is a repurposed large room in my old barn that I fixed up for my first flock. They have plenty of roosting bars (made from trees) and places to "sit" if they need to, for example when they huddle up if it's cold. So even if they have several spots to choose from, they always...

My Buff Orphington, Lucy, has this strange sore on the side of her waddle.. it looks like an abscess.. Does anyone know if chickens can get cueterebra (fly larvae) ?? Im not sure how to treat this, so please any help would be greatly appreciated!

I just got some Muscovy Ducks. I know that they're able to fly but I don't know how well they're able to. Can they fly long distances like wild ducks do or do they fly few inches or feet off the ground. I ask because I don't want them to fly away and there is a small pond in the woods behind my...

I found a fly mask I like but it doesn't have ears. Would it be comfortable for the horse to put a fly veil under the mask?

I have 4 6 week old chickens. They are getting big fast. Due to small kids, we don't hold them frequently, so I'm trying hoping food scraps can help win their trust. We are prepping our coop and I think they would like it better outside (50-60degreed day, 40 night). In the interim, I'd like to...

So i have 8 RIR's and they have figured out they can jump/fly over their 4ft high run fence. Question is, would it be best fer my girls if i go higher fence or a cover net?

i posted earlier about how I thought something happened with my male Mallard. After searching my backyard even more I see no sign of struggle or harm, just an open hutch door and a few missing eggs (I’m assuming my dogs wouldn’t have found / been interested in all of a sudden eating those eggs)...

Hey fellow gardeners, Do you know what this bug is? I'm not worried about it and it's leaving the chickens alone, but I'm curious. It has a beard! It seemed a bit aggressive so I took a photo and left. It's about an inch long and was eating a dragonfly? Thanks! Chelsey
