    Call duck breeding

    I know I'm late to the party but I was wondering if I could breed black calls (eventually) using East Indies.

    Debantic 50 WP for mites and lice

    I know this is really old but this is my (almost exact issue) 8 chickens southern Ontario. No treatment. I did find this and decided to go with invermcice or whatever its called because the other seemed super dangerous https://ruraldreams.ca/northern-fowl-mites-canada

    Goose egg rails?

    Winter hang outs

    Hi there. 1 have 2 large coops and a run shed. 5 geese, 3 ducks and 7 chickens. They won't hang out in any of these during the cold days and they seem like they're always cold (at least their feet) Do you have pics or ideas for hang outs they may use? (We had an old trailer they sat under...

    Floppy takes a walk

    I commented on your other post before seeing this. This looks a lot like how my Greyson walks now.

    Floppy takes a walk

    I know this post is a little older. I stumbled in looking for a solution for my boyfriend lol. (Sebastopol Male named Greyson) Sorry in advance for the length of this question. He was a class project we inherited from a friend. They didn't know about niacin deficiency and never added anything...

    No eggs and no ducks

    That's exactly the problem! Now they're just out and I'm hoping for the best until I build my new coop for winter.

    No eggs and no ducks

    Its funny they love me but act terrified of me lol. I have to walk them up then stand back or they think I'm gonna grab them or something. Geese nor duck will enter a small space with me.

    No eggs and no ducks

    No fencing for us. We have a large property away from any roads and they don't go far from me. Whatever area of the property I'm in geese and ducks and dogs are no more 10 ft away. I have to set up pools where I'm working or they won't use them. The neighbors laugh and say they can always find...

    No eggs and no ducks

    Good morning I have a couple of things going on. First, I introduced my goslings to their mother and she hasn't laid an egg since. I've searched the yard, followed her around all morning and put a camera out to see if she slips off to hide one but nothing. She was hiding them when the babies...

    Whats wrong with their beaks?

    I was able to get a few clearer ones. And the yellow guy. Sorry if thats too many. I'm hoping it isn't something contagious and I can help them. I also hope it isn't common or I've lost my faith in people. The guy who gave them to me is from a sanctuary and gave them to me as a kindness after...

    Whats wrong with their beaks?

    Sorry. There's a ton. The 2 seem to have it the worst. There's a yellow guy with just a touch but he wont stay still. I'll keep trying. The little black guy wasn't eating so i gave him a dropper of electrolytes and he's perked up a bit.

    Whats wrong with their beaks?

    Hi I was given 4 runner ducklings. When they arrived this morning they had sores on their bills. The people who gave them to me said it was the "pigment " (im super new and can basically be told anything until I learn) But it looks sore and open. Like a burn almost. I'm concerned about the...
