How do you manage iced water?
Here in northern Wisconsin (down to -30) I stick with the heated dog water bowl. I do have a premier1 heated nipple drinker but the nipples freeze up at a certain point even when I keep it inside the large coop. I found that the dog bowl is the most simple and easiest solution!- Bmb

What kind of duck?
Finally found the little guy a home! He’ll be going to another family’s hobby farm this weekend. Lots of other ducks to keep him company.😊 -
What kind of duck?
Would we need to get him more than one female to live with? I’m having no luck rehoming him so I’m thinking he’s just going to stay with us. I’m also having a tough time finding other ducks! One CL ad for a single pekin but I’m not sure if that’s a good option. -

Thank you! That information is very helpful. We used to have geese but waterfowl aren’t my preferred farm critters. It’s snowing up in the Three Lakes area this morning.- Bmb

Wisconsin "Cheeseheads"
Good afternoon! Would anyone in the Northern WI area be interested in this little guy? I believe he’s a white Muscovy.

What kind of duck?
We were given a single rescue duckling that someone found on the road. (Currently on the hunt for duckling friends!) I’m not sure on age. Anyone have any idea what kind of duck it is? Thank you! -
African goose hurt eye-infected and blind
Also how do I tell that he’s in pain? Poultry seems to never show it. And if nothing works and he is suffering (needs to be put down), what is the best thing to do with his mate? -
African goose hurt eye-infected and blind
How would you go about applying the Terramycin? He’s not exactly a friendly sort of goose.😅 My husband can go in and grab him which is what we did to check it out but I’m not sure how actually touching the eye would go. -
African goose hurt eye-infected and blind
Waiting to hear back from the vets office but I don’t think they deal with any type of farm animal. Thank you for the advice, I will look for that soon. Any thoughts on vetrycin for this?
