    Worming (Fecal) and herding dogs

    Amiga! Howdy! And thank you! Think it's time to get a fecal. They aren't laying, eating like they are starving on double the feed (some are molting so not entirely surprising), and have seen indications of creatures. Darned bird are addictive :) I now have two Welsh Harlequins, 3 Khaki...

    Worming (Fecal) and herding dogs

    I haven 't been on here in ages! I have 11 ducks, 2 geese, and 2 chickens. Have never wormed them, but suspect they may have worms. Not sure how to go about collecting sample for a fecal? I assume all 25 birds would need to have samples collected? Any tips? Does anyone have a livestock...

    wing problem?

    I don't know, Amiga. I don't feel any sort of a mass, but it could be. Thanks for the heads up, I can examine more closely and see what I find. Thanks!

    wing problem?

    This is Mildred. She is my almost 3 year old Khaki Campbell. She has been through couple nasty bouts with bumble foot and come out a fighter (one tough cookie!) This morning I noticed her wing drooping. You can kind of see it from the picture. She flew out of the duck house this morning and...

    Marans and weather?

    I am contemplating getting some black or blue marans (love those eggs!), but I wonder how they do in Pacific Northwest weather? Anyone in Seattle or Snohomish County, WA have marans? I have ducks, so chickens will be a new endeavor.

    Corn, oats, and barley?

    I was given a new bag of corn, oats and barley feed. I know corn is not the best for ducks, but seems to me I heard they couldn't eat barley unless it was sprouted?

    Mildred!

    Mildred's doing really well - no more bumble foot and she's happy, healthy, and bossy!

    My happy boys!

    Indeed, funny how that "pile of happy" makes me happy as well! Well, maybe not so funny for those that have ducks. We understand. Silly beasts.

    Duck laws?

    Definitely make the phone call. In doing research I have found the ordinance may say chickens are legal, but other poultry/fowl are not. May not specifically be addressed in the municipal code. Better to check ahead of time than have the problem with the city later.

    Just wanted to share my brief video of my happy boys swimming in their pool. Seriously need a bigger pool for them.

    bread ?

    This article pertains to wild birds, but the same holds true for domestic ducks. Think bread = junk food. http://birding.about.com/od/birdfeeders/a/feedingducksbread.htm

    They grow up so fast!

    Yes, they are delightful! Good choice of words,Amiga! I have Khaki Campbells too, but they are a bit high strung compared to Magpies.

    They grow up so fast!

    My sweet little babies are grown - drakes! Why don't I learn not to get straight run ducklings??? So love my Magpies!

    The ladies are going to kill each other! Hormones or something else?

    This morning I put Mocha in the run when the other ducks were free ranging (because she was attacking everything that moved). Mildred headed straight for the run and attacked from the outside of the tractor. Mildred - mild mannered little, sickly, low on the totem pole, Mildred (love that...
