    ISO Female Fancy Pigeon - Southern WY or nearby

    I have a mixed flock of fancy pigeons that is one female short. Now the male will not leave the other girls alone even though they're not interested. They can't catch a breath without him chasing them all around. The majority of the birds are Lucerne gold collar, I have a few giant homer...

    Banding Adult Muscovies

    My parents have a couple muscovies that are bullying their geese and pushing them out to the road. I've offered to take the ducks at my house instead to give the geese a break. However, I live in town. I've already checked; ducks are allowed. I plan to clip their wings and let them free roam in...

    Is this a prolapsed vent? How to treat?

    Penny was a bit lethargic this morning when I let everyone out of their coop and standing with her wings slack and other feathers all fluffed up. I brought her inside and she is relatively alert but still clearly has something going on. I'm trying to attach a video of her vent. It seems to make...

    Comment by 'CrazyCritterGal' in article 'Top 50 Herbs for Your Chickens'

    Is there a "dosing" recommendation? I'd love to start adding a few of these to my flock's diet but will only be able to with the stuff from the store for now - no free range garden

    Hen can't keep her balance and her legs are stretching behind her

    Thanks, I'll get some of those later and try that. Can I overdo it and give them too much B vitamins? If so, how do I dose it?

    Hen can't keep her balance and her legs are stretching behind her

    Would I feed those B vitamins in addition to the electrolyte water and how do I make sure they eat them? Should I crush them up and put them in the water? The poop is coming from the blonde chicken, as best I can tell because she has been eating. And it looks normal. I think I may feel a tiny...

    Hen can't keep her balance and her legs are stretching behind her

    I have some young bantam chickens that I've been raising for a few months now. I've been on vacation the last couple of weeks and returned yesterday - my neighbors who used to have chickens were caring for them while I was away. I went to put my birds up for the night last night and one hen was...

    Can duck bills drop and grow back, like a fingernail?

    Well, for better or for worse, it just popped off. But she's not even skipped a beat, even nibbling at hard objects (which I would think hurt!). It's a bit deformed, it looks like, but I think we'll be okay!

    Can duck bills drop and grow back, like a fingernail?

    I haven't been able to buy that glue yet, but I'm getting it as soon as I can, regardless! I give her mushed food, which she eats. She was refusing to drink the ACV water, no matter how diluted it was (apparently she's very picky :rolleyes:) and would just go drink the dog water while she was...

    Duck acting like she's playing in the tub... on living room floor...

    Hi all. My duck is an inside duck, and I've noticed a couple of times now that she dips and fluffs herself up and flaps her wings a bit in the middle of my living room floor. It looks exactly like what she does when she's in the tub. Sometimes she does it after drinking from her water too. She...

    Can duck bills drop and grow back, like a fingernail?

    My duck injured her bill last week. I think she caught it in the wire of her cage and the end got ripped up a tiny bit. She was reserved the day of and a little bit the next day, but now she's back to normal. She still comes out and runs around like normal, she drinks normally, and is back to...

    Hello!

    I check all of my plants for toxicity first thing so that I can keep an extra close eye on my critters around them. But thanks and glad to be here! :)

    Duck With Injured Bill - What Can I Do?

    Thanks for all of the tips guys! She's doing much better today and I'm thinking it won't need glued - it's still attached pretty well. But I will be putting that glue in my Amazon cart! Also, glad for the burrito tip - as a Muscovy, her nails are insane!

    Hello!

    Oh yeah, she and the pug have both put each other in their respective places, and now they've got that uneasy peace happening. You read my mind in terms of which kind of duck friend I'll be looking for. ;)
