Partial/Full Clipping peacock wings
hey all, I have two juvenile peacocks (roughly 9 months old) who learned tonight as we were putting them up that they could get 3 stories up in a tree. Tonight also just happens to be the coldest night - they’ll be okay, but sure will be miserable. has anyone tried or had success with... -

The big question - sex of peafowl?
Hi all, I have two peachicks that I got about 5 months ago. I’m certain on the sex of one, but still a bit uncertain (perhaps it’s more a little wishful thinking) on the other. They’re both roughly 6 months old (exact date of hatching unknown) I was hoping for a male black shouldered and... -

Paper-like & wrinkly coating on eggshell
I do have oyster shell as well as some crushed eggshell out for them to use as they desire. I don’t see them touch it much, though. Every now and then one will munch on it. I’ll start adding some oyster shell into their feed bowls to at least get some into em. I’m sure it wouldn’t hurt my other... -

Paper-like & wrinkly coating on eggshell
One of my girls laid an egg and it’s the oddest one I’ve gotten. The egg itself seems totally normal in the spots I can see the underlying eggshell. On top is a sort of coating - it’s dried & wrinkly and feels sort of like if someone coated the egg in wet paper and let it dry. This egg took a... -

Wonky duck stance
This is Dessa, short for Iridessa. She is the one closest to the camera standing awkwardly. The stance she is in is her default and she is constantly walking like this or with her head to the ground when foraging. Now, she hasn't always walked like this. As a duckling, she walked like a totally... -

Silver appleyard drake sound
We’re a bit suspicious that one of the eggs of my last batch might have come from one of my silver ladies instead of from a cayuga like we planned. So we think that one may be a silver x Cayuga cross based on size and demeanor. Today he started to make a different kind of rasp. Just curious to... -

Duckling with squishy and soft belly
I’ve been keeping him around 95F but the heavier breathing continues even when cooler so I don’t think it’s temp related. He’s definitely improved overnight - I’ve been waking up every couple hours to feed and his appetite has really kicked in. Got a boot on it and so far so good. I’ve simply... -

Duckling with squishy and soft belly
Hopefully these uploaded right. The belly looks less orange IRL. It was Red yesterday. There’s a scab where the naval is. Belly doesn’t seem hot like an infection so hopefully it’s not. Did put some bacitracin on it just to try and help. Always using clean hands and q tips. A bit of an... -

Duckling with squishy and soft belly
After googling more and physically examining we’re thinking it’s mushy chick disease. Just checked the belly again and it’s red and irritated. -

Duckling with squishy and soft belly
One of the ducklings that just hatched has a soft, squishy, somewhat distended belly. None of the other ducklings have this. This one is weaker than the rest - we had to assist in hatch. Rocky was able to internally pip but did not progress at all. Rocky wasn’t positioned right and we removed... -

Fox during day
I am in need of your tried and true methods of fox repellent. This fox has appeared consistently the past week. ALWAYS during the day! Not early morning or dusk. Bright and sunny out. My ducks no longer get to free range after the fox made its first move and took my favorite duck. I'm still...- 0iseau

Nurture right 360 temp issues
On day 7 of a very very special clutch of eggs. The NR360 has been going okay - temp bounces a little bit but typically stays steady at 99.7. Today it’s either 100 or 99.1. I can’t get it to stay anywhere in between. Doesn’t help that you can only adjust the temp the incubator is set at by .5...- 0iseau

Which thermometer to trust
I simply don't trust the incubator's read due to using it in the past. I cannot find the thermometer I used in the past and am scrambling to figure out which one to trust. I've got two in there, one reading 99.4 and one reading 98.2. Grabbed a third meant for a terrarium and it reads 98.6 These...- 0iseau

Duck in “labor” when laying egg
Sorry for such a long wait! It’s been a crazy couple of months with vet visits for Vidia (she had a cyst in her toe D: ) and my cockatiel and trying to get things done haha. So he believes that it’s the egg pressing on the sciatic nerve. Which is uncomfortable at absolute minimum. I’ve noticed... -

Duck in “labor” when laying egg
She should be getting enough calcium. I feed 50% purina duck feed and 50% layer feed along with oyster shells and crushed eggshell. Her eggs are average size for the breed and so far no egg abnormalities. I’ll definitely run out to TSC and grab some calcium gluconate. I’m actually familiar...
