    Rooster with part of toe black cannot find a vet

    At night while he was roosting they would peck at him and I think they may have removed some of his feathers on his head. Then it seamed that when his foot was bad (before I put him in his cage) they ganged up on him during the day a few tail feathers was the damage. I am hopeful after he foot...

    Hello and Thank You for your advice. I do not know if I got it too tight or not. I shall start the soaking shortly. Would 3 times a day be good or more often?

    I shouldn't have looked...

    I just want to chime in and say I started reading this thread and I could not stop. This has started my morning with a big smile on my face. A week ago I walked into our local feed shop and guess what they had just gotten in chicks. Well I had to look and I bought 10. Its an addiction.

    Ducks confused about their identity

    I will try and get some pics but they usually run or fly away. The group thing I did think about maybe its an age difference thing. I don't know how old the two newer one is. I will keep my original duck in with the chickens that way they can be on different sides of the fence and still see...

    I have a single male duck, he is old and his only mate die two week ago. He lives with 3 Geese and they pretty much ignore him with an occasional bite if he gets too close. So I found a person that wants to sell 3 male ducks that are 4 months old. I wanted to know if you think the geese will...
