    The chickens are eating the goat alive

    Hey guys - That's what this is all about. Getting some advice. The obvious solution is to separate them. How stupid would you be not to know that? What I am asking is 'is there another solution?'. And one possibility is the bandage with the super glue - a great idea - thank you. The rest of...

    The chickens are eating the goat alive

    I guess I have to spell it out for some of you. The goat is not 'suffering'. If she were, she'd have done something about it by now. She's not going to "die a painful death". She's perfectly fine except some chickens are pecking at her. She's a freakin' 200 lb goat, for God's sake. These are 8...

    Quote: What a great idea. Surprisingly this wound is as clean as a whistle and shows zero sign of infection. It's large, but it is only skin deep. And I would think a chicken beak would be full of nastyness...

    Quote: That's an interesting idea...I wonder if the other goats will bother it. Are you serious that I should use super glue?

    The chickens are eating the goat alive

    Assuming once she's healed and hair has grown back, I wonder if they'll just create a new sore? The dark purple colored wound doesn't seem to stop them. They already know it's there and is delicious. I think it might be easier to pen up the chickens rather than the goat. Thank you all -...

    They have no problem eating the blue kote to get to the flesh. I have it on her all the time and sometime I wonder if they might even like the taste.

    The chickens are eating the goat alive

    Okay - here's a good one - and I cannot make this stuff up. The goat lays on the ground and has a little sore on her side. The chickens have discovered that goat meat is delicious and peck the sore until she is dripping blood. The goat does nothing to defend herself. She can never heal...

    Mating Issue

    Well I took her back to the previous owner. He has loads of free-ranging birds of all kinds, and I tell you, the Pekins there immediately ran up to her and started gabbing with her. Seriously. Two other ducks in particular were all over her, chatting, rubbing necks, nibbling at one another...it...

    Can ducks go up ramps onto a deck to get in a pond?

    Took my Pekins some training but eventually they got it. Treats going up the ramp did the trick. One fella stick isn't great at it, but eventually he gets it

    Mating Issue

    Getting rid of the new girl will only give the old girl more work, no? I think it's going to be much more difficult to find the male a home than it is to get another female. I already think I'm at my limit with housing ducks, so I can only get one more, max. Do you think that would help the...
