    Anyone in WA State need an Indian Runner duck?

    Thank you! That is a long, long drive for me. I wish I was heading your way. She is talking so much looking for a mate. I think I found a free male for her yesterday. My daughter lives that direction so she is going to pick it up so I don't have to go so far. I hope she is ok until he gets...

    I would hate to ship her that far. Thanks for the offer though.

    Anyone in WA State need an Indian Runner duck?

    No takers? She is lonely. Will she survive with just the chickens?

    Anyone in WA State need an Indian Runner duck?

    We had a pair of Indian Runner ducks and one of them died today. They hatched in 2011. I think it was the male that died so we have a female. I am worried she will die of loneliness. She was hanging with the chickens a little bit today. We've lost 4 animals in the last month and that is too...

    WA St - Brother died last night. Need companion for goat. How can we reduce stress until we find a

    Yes, that is the hard thing to figure out. She has never been alone and is out there crying all the time. I am sick this week so have not been able to be out there except to give her a treat.

    My preference would be an older one rather than a young one.

    Yes, he broke into the duck pen and ate the food so I am guessing toxicity. He seems better Tuesday night, but was dead Wednesday morning.

    No, we don't. We used to have 3 goats and 3 horses, but now we only have her. Thank you!

    WA St - Brother died last night. Need companion for goat. How can we reduce stress until we find a

    Snowy has not left her brother's side since he got sick on Monday. We thought he was better last night, but he was dead this morning. Both were born here ( posted BYC in 2009 when they were born) so I think rehoming her would be too stressful. She is on the shy/nervous side. We are downsizing...

    Rooster attacking me

    We've always had pretty docile roosters until now. I read the rooster behavior article in the learning center and understand that our others were carried a lot by our daughter and this one has not been carried as much (Daughter moved out recently). Rooster sees me as a threat, but not my...

    Single duckling

    Thanks for all the thoughts. Hopefully the duckling is still young enough to bond (6 days) and aggression won't be a problem. Imprinting generally occurs in the first 5 for ducks, but hoping we can get a bit of imprinting going on here. Wish I would have done this earlier. This was going to...

    Single duckling

    Thanks. We went and picked up a chick. Duckling isn't too sure. I held them together to try to get the duck used to it. Isn't quite so scared now.

    Single duckling

    I think he is still too little and he follows us not them. He would be able to get out the fence in at least one spot. Also temperature although our days have been warm. I am thinking a chicken. Do you think that would be ok?

    Single duckling

    We had one Indian Runner Duck egg hatch that some chickens were sitting on (they sit, but they are horrible mothers). Duckling has been in our house since it hatched a week ago. Completely imprinted on humans. We do take it outside to run in the grass for a fee minutes each day and we hold it...

    Achilles Brace - was Dog Knee Brace

    Thanks. I hope to get her into the vet tomorrow. Anyone know how expensive the achilles surgery is? I am hoping it is easier and cheaper than the CCL, but I can't find nearly as much information about it as the CCL.

    Achilles Brace - was Dog Knee Brace

    Actually - we have changed our mind and now think it is achilles tendon. That was my original thought yesterday, but she wasn't walking at all so I went with knee. So now instead of knee braces does anyone know anything about Achilles braces? Anyone have any experience with dog knee braces...

    When can they go outside?

    Our three Indian Runners are now 11 days, 18 days, and 4 weeks old. When can they stay outside? Evening temperatures are still in the mid-40's. Will a heat lamp keep them warm enough in their box outside? We are leaving them outside during the day and bringing them in at night, but they are...

    Brooder/heat question

    We have three Indian Runner ducklings. One is 3 days old. One is about 10 days old. One is 3-4 weeks old. Right now they are in a small container, but they need something bigger ASAP. Tomorrow we are building a bigger brooder for them. How big should it be to get them to 6 weeks when...
