Hello,
I have a duckling that hatched and has been having a slow going at it. all his mates are in the other pen but this little guy seems to be having a harder time. I have now noticed that he only uses one leg as the other one seems to be limp along with the webbed feet. has anyone ever...
He is doing so good !! He is puffy and fluffy and chirping ☺️ I’m so happy he made it. Since he is the only one out of 15 eggs so far that is hatched he seems to want to be with me all day and chirps when I try to put him in his pen.
Hello, I have a female Muscovy who hid a nest and I found it today because I heard chirping. She had one egg that was cracked open and the duckling was next to it she has not been in the area for days and when I tried to. Ring her to the nest to assist the baby she was very violent toward it...
Hello. I have three female ducks and along the way two males were an abandoned as babies so I took them in. Long story short my female ducks and hens get along great but the boys cause chaos and are too aggressive with the females. I don’t want to get more females so as of now they have a...
I brought home two Muscovy ladies and one crested female. I was told I would have to train them to go in the duck house at night. Yesterday I had to guide them in and it was not bad at all……today I went out and to my shock the Muscovy ducks put themselves to bed 😂 the crested duck was still...
I have separated them. They have been with the chickens since they were a few days old and seem to sit at the fence wanting to hang out with the chickens 🥲
Hello, I am new to keeping ducks. I have two male Rouen ducks about 16 weeks old and currently live with my four female chickens. I didn’t know till now that they are male since I has them as tiny ducklings and they were abandoned in a box at tractor supply. They share a huge coop with my female...
Hello,
I have a set of two female turkeys each with babies. They are not so much small but I would say they are young but old enough to eat on their own and be silly. Sadly one of the female mothers was hit by a car today. These turkeys come here everyday and I noticed o e female with more...
Thank you for saying that❤️ I use first day lime in the dust bath, all around and in coop regularly. To treat them I used the premo poultry spray and will dust them them this evening with poultry permethrin powder. It’s strange though…I have four girls and only one has this happening but it...
I have had my sweet peas for a year now. Last spring they had the start of those nasty red mites but I quickly made sure to take care of that….now I noticed my one lady was molting but I felt like it’s too early in summer to molt…I checked her and I believe she has feather lice or mites. I had...
Hello,
Any advice on how to move four ladies to our new place? Anything that will make it less stressful. New house is about an hour away and I want to make sure i transport them safely and I definitely don’t want to stress them out.
I have four and so t have contact with new chickens or plan on bringing any in. Birds are everywhere though, I can’t stop all birds from landing on my property or inside my run…this is so stressful
So far what I have read on here is making me so anxious. What can we do to prevent or help. Someone said they literally come and kill your flock…that makes me incredibly sad and scared.
