    Hey question - in places where you say flesh only (bell peppers and tomatoes), that makes me think sans peel, but the context makes it feel more like you meant without leaves, vines, seeds, etc. Obviously, it would be way less work to not peel a bell pepper or grape tomato, but don't want to...

    Accidentally becoming a homesteader

    I live in the UK, England. Homesteading is really an American concept, and we sort of fell into it. Over time our life choices have slowly led us to homesteading. The last time we moved we wanted land to grow trees, we bought an ex farm. We started to build an arboretum,. The land was flat, the...

    Duck stopped eating.

    IDK, Paul, I watched that video and my runners don't act like that when egg bound but maybe because the duck in the video was Pekin (I'm assuming) and I've got runners. When my girl gets egg bound this is how she stands. Her butt just about drags the ground and her neck looks like an "S"...

    @jevans1 I'd go to TSC and get calcium gluconate a vet prescribed this for a member who duck was egg bound it works to bring on contraction to help pass the egg. .2ml per lb of body weight. Very sorry she is going through this . I know how helpless you feel. :hugs

    Can Feed Affect Laying Issues?

    Hello, I'm near Possum Kingdom, Tx. About 2 weeks ago is when the heat and humidity really started here. I asking from experience. Do the birds have enough space at night? It's pretty hot and they need to feel comfortable to rest. #2) they will not drink enough if the water is warm. See if...

    Duck is lethargic and stays away fron the other ducks

    My 8 year old duck is acting strange, she went out to the duck yard with the others this morning but shortly after that I noticed her walking slowly back into her hut. When I went to check on her she tried to run from me but didnt have the energy. I looked her over and did not find anything...

    My Duck's (Hen) Keel bone/ Chest bone exposed with large hole .....Help!

    ——————- Update 7/9/20 So after 3 long weeks of bandage changing Jane finally developed enough granulation tissue as the skin started to adhere and heal around the exposed keel area. An attempt to close the wound was completely inevitable but she did great walking and got around fine. However...

    Feeding a sick duck?

    They didn't examine your ducks or do an xray to see if she was egg bound? they could have given her a shot of calcium gluconate to help her pass an egg. I'd go to TSC and get her some calcium gluconate and start giving that to her it would be best to give it to her over something like peas but...

    Can Feed Affect Laying Issues?

    We've had chickens for 3 years, and this is the first time we've had a problem with these three girls at the same time. One looks uncomfortable and possibly egg bound, another was looking that way a week ago, but is improving. Thank you for your guidance. We do change the water frequently...

If you already have an established flock or haven’t started yet and are still in the planning stages – this article is definitely for you. Before I got my chickens I spent the better part of a year researching the breed...

    Hormonal Implanta and Bumblefoot. My gal can’t catch a break.

    Scratch is cracked corn, wheat, and lesser amounts of other grains - basically lower in nutritional value and less robust than the layer pellets you would normally want to feed to laying ducks. Yes, usually it is given to chickens. My vet said the wood chips like aspen or pine bedding aren't...

    Daphne’s reproductive issues have returned

    Thank you. I’ll have to dig through my cupboards, as I’m sure that have calcium citrate on hand as I know I’ve bought in the past with the intention of taking it myself, a plan that never lasts more than two days, for whatever reason. I will say that I already feed her Layena pellets with...

    Hormonal Implanta and Bumblefoot. My gal can’t catch a break.

    Thank you so very much. This is all so very helpful. I’m going to ask my vet about the sedative they use. Losing Whitebeard (Loretta’s sister) was so very traumatizing on all of us. It was just so unexpected and she was one heck of a duck. I still tear up when I think of her. I have been very...

    Feeding a sick duck?

    Thank you for the link! They said that doing an X Ray was possible but the total costs would be about £500 for everything which is quite a lot as I’m not the one directly financing it! They did examine her and some sticky clear fluid came out of her which they thought could be egg white, and I’d...
