    mascovy duck nest question

    Sounds like you can start doing the count down!! Just be sure when they hatch that when they cross the road to the pond that you and your girlfriends stop traffic or you'll never be able to sleep! Just like you throw her the bread, throw her the mealy worms. I'm sure she won't know what to...

    mascovy duck nest question

    She's doing what she is supposed to even though it may not be where YOU want her to lay! She may lay a few more eggs and then she will pull her down feathers from her chest and start sitting! Once she start sitting it will take about 36 days from then. She will come off her nest probably...

    Muscovy trying to sit on just 3 eggs?? Whats up?

    What I have found is that they lay every other day. I've also learned Muscovies lay in the morning. She's probably laying her egg and 'making the bed' to keep it tidy. I don't think she is 'sitting' on the eggs yet. I think she's concerned about the cold and is debating what to do. If she...

    Stinky Dog part two

    My dogs get flea allergies every year. They use Advantix, but even if one fleas bites my dogs, it's starts. It starts with itching for fleas, licking paws, and smelly ears. Then we get the overall 'ewie' smell! The vet says when the flea bites (even one), the dog is allergic to the saliva of...

    Has anyone ever seen a Congo African Grey this dark??

    This is the first time I have responded. I've been reading this sight for a while and was so happy to have joined on such a special day for BYC! Congratulations to them and to all of us that get to reap the rewards of the new design! I have raised large parrots in the past. Yes, the young...
