    Just paid $300 for antibiotics! :(

    I have several Muscovies with bumblefoot. I've been treating with drawing salve and wraps but have not seen any improvement. Tried surgery and it was not effective so we took one of our worst drakes to the vet. $300 later and she put him on antibiotics and painkillers. She says she can't give me...

    Free ranging without a fence?

    Hey there! I'm new here. My very first batch of ducklings are supposed to arrive in 2 weeks, and although I have plenty of time to get things figured out before they move outdoors, I just want to be prepared.
