    Call duck pair and nesting hen

    I've been able to gain a general understanding of mallard drakes' behaviors in the wild and larger flocks when there is a nesting hen, but I am curious if different behaviors exist when there is only a single hen (and the specific breed is call duck). Basically, I've been allowing my hen to...

    Dog Grabbed Chickens Leg....and Shook her

    Thank you! We have some greek yogurt we can give to her, and we can cook up some eggs a little later. Would adding apple cider or white vinegar to the water help at all? Would saline water work instead of hydrogen peroxide or the other chemicals listed? What about a neosporn cream/spray?

    Dog Grabbed Chickens Leg....and Shook her
