Welcome!

Welcome. It's very timely that you mentioned Carolina Waterfowl Rescue. I was up looking at their site last week. They have a great sanctuary.

hi~ nice to meet you and welcome!
do you ever worry about the crows sharing parasites and/or diseases with your flock?
I have several crows that like to hang out with my ducks and chickens too. They occasionally steal an egg but I dont mind b'cuz they are keeping the hawks away. however Im wondering about parasites/diseases possibilities?

I do now! Haha. We’ve been lucky to not have any issues too close with the recent bird flu wave, and now that I’m not hyper aware of that stuff, I didn’t even consider the crows passing anything along! They seem healthy tho, so I guess I’ll research some of it and keep an eye out!

Salve (Latin for hello)! I love all your animals! Carolina Rescue is wonderful - they offered to take two of my previous ducks even though I lived 10 hours away.
