    Tell me about your livestock guardian dogs please!

    thank you so much for this! Awesome info. I haven't worked with dogs quite like this, but I've worked in dog kennels for many years and my current dog is a high drive rescue dog with serious baggage who's come a long way.

    Tell me about your livestock guardian dogs please!

    Hi! I currently have a small backyard waterfowl flock, but the 5-year plan is to be on a farm and have a much larger flock of chickens, ducks, and geese. I'm very intrigued by LGDs, but I really don't know much about them! My biggest question is.. how do you train the first one? I've heard that...

    duck bumblefoot but 6 weeks later?

    Thanks. Sadly I'm in Canada and there's no easy access to useful medications... It's also hard to find a bird vet. I'll look in local groups and see if anyone has one

    duck bumblefoot but 6 weeks later?

    so my muscovy duck was walking with a limp at the end of december- I caught her and found a lump on her foot with a small black scab on the bottom, so I went about treating for bumblefoot. I did about a week of epsom salt baths, polysporin, and wrapping, until the scab turned from black to red...

    Lavender epsom salt safe for duck bath?

    I have a muscovy duck with bumblefoot- it's my first time treating it since owning birds! I want to give her an epsom salt bath- I only have lavender scented on hand right now. I can get some regular stuff soon, but is it safe to use the lavender for her first bath? Thanks!

    Adding new rescue muscovies to backyard flock

    It’s a good-sized backyard… I’m not sure how big actually! The run is 8’x16’ but they don’t get kept in there unless there’s some particular reason. I’m in southern ON! Campbellford, about 90min NE of Toronto. Are you also a Canadian? I have a call, a Cayuga, two runners, and probably a Cayuga...

    Adding new rescue muscovies to backyard flock

    So it’s been over a month now and honestly they’re not integrating as well as it looked like they would early on. The original ducks will chase the muscovies and drive them away whenever the two groups cross paths in the yard. Interestingly the one girl original duck is the worst about this, and...

    4 week old quack sexing

    I brought four female muscovies home from the rescue I work at to help balance it out! I also have a run separated into two different areas so I can definitely do some rotating of the boys. I also have a goose in the flock who is quite good at breaking up disagreements, and I’m hoping she’ll...

    I’m not sure, but she’s gotta be at least part Sebastopol. She’s a rescue but she’s super curly!

    Odd blemish on goose bill- fine or not?

    I’ve had her since hatching! I’ve never seen an actual injury there or anywhere on her. She’s only a few months old.

    Thank you! Yes, that’s Elphie, my mare. She’s the best!
