    Bobcat on the loose; Need advice on our Lone Drake now

    Yeah I lost quite a few party ducks to bobcats. I mixed my ducks with pekins of different ages and they all did fine. I had to clear out the extra males a few times though.

    Bobcat on the loose; Need advice on our Lone Drake now

    First I would just double up your efforts to secure your duck and chickens. Once predators know where the grub is they keep coming back. That being said when I was raising khaki campbells, or I should say raising food for the local wildlife, they integrated with other duck breeds, male/female of...

    MY CHICKENS ATE EACH OTHER AGHHH!!!!

    I doubt cannibalism to that extreme unless you have a factory in your back yard. Predator is my guess.

Well about two hours later I CAUGHT SOMETHING! Yep our youngest cat was in there sleeping. Well the next night I'm...

    ANY AVAIN VET or persons who know about geese need help ASAP

    I wouldnt force feed him. Just keep wound cleaned out. As long as hes drinking water he'll get hungry eventually. Since the attack was recent he could still be in some shock. As for bandaging I tend to just clean the wound with peroxide two or three times a day, and just keep an eye on him and...

    I'm sure she'll be fine. Probably won't be picked on enough to be a problem if she is picked on at all. Just keep and eye on things and drink some calming tea.

    Hatching again after 3 years, questions

    Should be fine to put them in even if they are a couple of days apart. I'd run humidity way lower than 60% if your incubator has grooved for water, I'd put just a little water into one of the grooves and let it dry out before adding more water. Day 7 when you candle you should be able to get a...

    FLEAS!!!

    Sevin dust will definitely get rid of fleas. I wouldn't use it very often considering it is poison. Maybe try to DE first. Clean out coop, I put it under the bedding and mix it into it. Also put some where your birds like to dust bathe. Make sure it's not pool grade DE it's gotta be food grade...

    FLEAS!!!

    I put Diatomaceous earth all over to help with fleas. I don't know how well it will work after an infestation I think it's more of a preventative. I never see any bugs in their coop though. My mother said they used sevin dust to get rid of fleas. She said it never bothered her dogs. They would...

    Classroom Incubating Project - HELP!

    My hens are the same way. I only had one rooster that liked to "cuddle". Yep he loved to cuddle the back of my legs with his feet. As for ACV I've always added a tiny bit to water, never had a problem with adding to chicks water. I mainly use it to keep algae out.

    Just for anyone worrying about temperature.

    I could never find anything other than they need to be with heat until they are fully feathered. I hatched the last batch the 3rd, they were put out with the 1 1/2 month on the 9th. Temps dropped to 49 and heavy wind a few nights, but I do have a draft free chick coop I built. First experiment...

    Just for anyone worrying about temperature.

    I'll give my experience with chick temp. First batch I got was August last year. I hovered over them like a hawk. I checked the temp three times a day and made sure It was lowered 5 degrees each week. That was my parent stock. I didn't make it to fully feathered due to death in my family and...
