Thanks for the info! We have found more bumps/nodules on her under side and by the vent. She seems to be healthy other wise (eating/drinking fine)

Our bantam chicken has had some feather loss and now today her face started to swell! Is there any home treatment we can try?

Home Depot or Lowes both carry cement mixing tubs in two sizes. I believe they run about 6 for the small and 10 for the larger one.

Ok!! I have to confess our head female Muscovy does seem to have some connection to the local coyotes. We have seen multiple occasions where chickens she is mad at have disappeared with only feathers left behind. Maybe it wasn't coyotes at all but the dreaded terrorist Muscovy's. I can only...

Thanks everyone!! It dosn't appear to have a tail or maybe just a little bushy fur. It might have gotten bitten off. It does have buck teeth and feet for digging but its face is cute unlike a mole. The nutria picture looks about right without the tail. My husband just got home and thinks it...

We found this in our yard already dead. It has claws like a mole and is about as big a football.

Thanks for info... I knew taking them to the fair was probably a dream after researching. However she thinks she's the duck whisperer because she had the calmest calls at the fair last year. She does have muscovies and calls so that should keep her busy. I'am hoping to build a nice home for...

I'am picking up some adult mandarin ducks today and was wondering what traits to look for. I'am hoping to get two females and a male. My daughter is hoping to have babies next year and hand tame enough to maybe go to fair for 4-H. What kind of feed should we be feeding them? Any other...

Our dog does great with the older ducks but has a hard time controlling herself with the babies. I guess they remind her of squeeky toys. Just keep an eye out when the babies are born. She's fine once they are 4 or 5 weeks old.

I'am new to call ducks but we did have a female return to laying after we took her babies away. She actually just hatched out 8 more ducklings. Good luck!!

Our Muscovy hen will take rotten eggs out of her nest usually taking them to the water. She has kicked out a couple of ducklings that didn't seem strong. We usually raise them for a couple of days then we give them back. Have you candled the eggs at all I wonder if she knew the one egg...

Worms!!!!!!

I have same problem with one call duckling. Have hatched out alot of Muscovy's and never had a mean one. "Grumpy" as we call him/her is 8 wks old and is constantly pecking at siblings . He is much happier out in the pasture by himself. I've considered putting him in with the older ducks and...
