    Egg problems with Khaki Campbells in tropics

    Anyone else raise ducks in the tropics, specifically Khaki Campbells? Does the climate or perhaps the equator mess with laying? I bought them because they are supposedly the best egg layers but I have really been struggling with them not laying. They started laying and were doing well and then...

    The Duck Thread

    Incubating ducks question - all the things Ive read about incubating ducks is that they take 28 days to hatch (or start pipping at least) but are there certain breeds that take longer normally, such as 35 days? I have two duck eggs that were developing and were still moving when I candled beyond...

    Recipe for hand-rearing an African Grey needed

    I was hoping someone would have a recipe or two that can be made at home for hand-reaering a baby African grey. We adopted a baby but when we got it, it was much younger than we were expecting and is not weaned. I would just go buy some or order some pre-made stuff if I could but we are in a...

    Month old chicks dying during Cocci treatment

    I guess Im not sure if its resistant or not. No one here medicates their animals so I highly doubt an over- exposure but maybe its resistant? No idea. I was doing a full strength treatment. Corid is the only official med I have here for it. What is a preventative dosage?

    Month old chicks dying during Cocci treatment

    I HAVE to mix my own feed - there is no premixed anything here. We live in a remote village in Congo, Africa. I understand it could be a nutrition thing which is why I included the recipe so people could make suggestions, other than just buying pre mixed stuff which doesnt exist here. Believe me...

They seemed to be not thriving or gaining weight despite eating, drinking, and acting mostly normal. I...
