    Feeding after Superlorin implant

    Thank you for the replies, I have got growers and luckily they seem to be tucking in, it wouldn't normally have been something which financially I would have considered given there's no guarantee how long they may or may not live as they are ex commercial and we have had them 1.5 years at the...

    Agressive drake?

    Hiya, I've tried to have a look and see if others have asked but I couldn't find a thread quick enough (apologies if it's a popular question) my male Cayuga has recently started chasing my mum and really pecking at her feet and ankles hard to the point where he broke the skin recently, the first...

    Loud Cayuga

    Now you have mentioned about the foraging, they do that also, sometimes they won't touch their food at all or be bothered about it until we are out and all will start foraging through the grass or suddenly run to the food and eat, we were outside all day for 4 weeks straight while building their...
