Hello! We have housed our Ducks(12) and Guineas(12) together for over a year now. They have a large walk-in house and a covered outdoor run. The Ducks have a kiddie pool. I cannot let them free-range due to predators. However, I have a large chain-link fenced area......1/4 of an acre, that...

Very Weasleymum! Our 4 year old Grandsons dog loves to dig them up and eat them. It really grosses him out! Of course we think it is hilarious when he runs screaming like a girl!

That's cute!

Hello! Welcome to BYC. I think the chickens would love them. From what I have read, grubs are high in protein. There is a lot of information about raising and feeding Black Shoulder Fly grubs to supplement their feed.

What breed of duck do you have? How old are they?

If you are still looking for a companion try Pigeon Talk http://www.pigeons.biz/forums/. There are a lot of great people and a lot of great information on this forum. They have several sections where folks list Pigeons for adoption and Pigeons for Sale. There is a good chance of finding someone...

There is a lot you can do about it!!!! Did you sign a lease? Does it state in the lease you cannot have animals? Is the paper he showed up with legal? Does not sound like it to me! Take a deep breath and do a little research. You may still have to move but that does not mean you have to get...

Just saw your thread this evening. I will try to upload some pictures tomorrow. I love talking about how special Pigeons are!! I also appreciate your intentions, but for some.... this may be repetitive. After all, BYC has already dedicated a whole subcategory for us. Don't be discouraged...

Sounds like he has lots of options! Since he is already familiar with the hutch in the garage.....I would leave the door open and see if he comes back to it. Well....has he used the door to go out when you have let him out of the hutch? What ever he has used will be what he is familiar with...

Pigeons are so smart. Yes he may use the bird bath for water and bathing. Just keep it clean. They always taste the water first. If it tastes okay he will jump right in! They are so funny too. Stand back or you will get wet! For a house.....he might come back to the hutch at dusk. Leave...

He looks young to me. Pigeons need a deeper water dish. They use their beak like a straw. They also love to have a pan about chest deep to bathe in. Your perch looks fine but they really prefer a flat perch. Wild bird seed is a decent substitute feed. Provide grit in a separate dish. Thawed...

Hello all. I need a little help please. I know very little about Turkeys. We live in a very rural area. Occasionally, we see wild turkeys crossing the road or in the fields. The last three mornings, before dawn, I have been awakened to a strange noise. This morning, I decided to try and...

Do you let them free-fly? Do you race the pigeons? If they are out exposed to the elements, this could make a difference if they need deworming. In Ca...is your climate dry? In dry climates, Ivomec given orally every 6 months is recommended. I would have a vet check a fecal sample first...

IMO..... it looks like a Komorner tumbler/homer cross. Definitely, that yellow did not occur naturally! Poor thing has been dyed. Did the shelter give you any information where it came from? My guess it was dyed for some "event" that did not fare well for the bird. I would offer this bird...

Doves are not the same as Pigeons. They have no homing instincts at all...none what so ever. If they return to the loft....is only by chance. Increasing your nest boxes will not help. If a pair of Doves are raising young they should not be allowed "free-flight". It takes both parents to...
