    Bumblefoot Help

    It's a long process, seems like you have done a great job - lovely pink feet! :) I have a couple of hens with the same lingering healing.

    Baby chick on side

    Hi, I had this issue with a Muscovy duckling this year - she hatched without fully absorbing her yolk and was led on her side for almost 36 hours. In the end I made a kind of valley out of some small towels rolled up and "forced" her upright between them. Within 3/4 hours she got it and was...

    Mink massacre

    We just lost a couple of our Muscovy ducklings to a Mink attack, horrible and sad day! They were the only two to hatch this year.

    Embden Goose, sudden lameness and ultimate death - QUESTIONs

    Hi, sad day for us today - one of our 2 year old, female Embden geese passed away in the night and was found dead in our pond. She has been unwell/borderline lame for a few days - we treated for worming when lameness was spotted (4 days ago) and gave vitamin boost daily since, sadly it didn't...

    Sore / Boil on Underside (Infected?)

    Hello, any ideas what this may be? She's otherwise healthy and eating/drinking fine. We did de-louse her from small grey mites a couple of weeks ago.

    New Muscovy Duckling Stuck on One Side

    So, quick update - stacking her up inbetween the ridges in a towel seemed to do the trick. We're three days in now and she's stronger and healthier than her hatching twin!

    New Muscovy Duckling Stuck on One Side

    Hello, I've popped her in the brooder and propped her up between towels to encourage her to stay on her belly! Fingers crossed.

    New Muscovy Duckling Stuck on One Side

    She's otherwise healthy, but seems curled in the embryo position on one side. Any tips? She's about 8 hours out of the shell and kicking, squeaking as usual.

    Hen leg issues

    I'd say this is 90% scaly leg mites from the images, you should quarantine the hen, bathe the leg in tepid clean water and apply generous amounts of Vaseline to smother the mites. Some scales may fall (or be encouraged) out... Fingers crossed!

    HELP NEEDED! Enticing my Muscovies into a new duck house...

    Thank you, one drake and three hens. The other side is fine chicken wire from halfway up, for ventilation! 😃

    What breed?

    I'm 99% sure she's a Black Copper Marans. Thoughts?

    HELP NEEDED! Enticing my Muscovies into a new duck house...

    I get the feeling that one of our Muscovy hens is broody, but I can't get them to go into the new house I've put together for them... Tried walking them in, tried with food, tried with encouragement - nothing works! Any hints, or tips?
