    Gosling in trouble- any ideas appreciated.

    Developement concerns in gosling

    thank you, yes, I do believe it will have been a niacin deficiency too but exacerbated by added weight bearing. I will try to get some brewers yeast asap. In the mean time I have just upped the vitamins and minerals in the water. The bowing seems to have improved a little over the past 2 days...

    Hi, My friend has hatched out her second lot of Welsh Harlequins and one of the babies is crested. The adult ducks came from me and I have not had anything crested in the 4 years I have had them. I get the Karki Campbell throwbacks but never anything like this. It is too cute. Fow whatever...

    Duck house egg drama's

    Sadly this wee baby was just too young to cope with the trauma of having a crushed shell. How far along do you think she would have been? Can't win them all. Any hints on how to keep the chooks out of the nest?
