    De-worming Ducks

    I'm pretty positive my guys have them, unfortunately. They eat earth worms EVERY time I flip their pool for cleaning which is how they get tape worms. I also give my guys squash when I can but there's no way to guarantee that they're all getting enough to "naturally de-worm" them. I'd rather...

    De-worming Ducks

    Hello! I've seen a few threads on BYC regarding deworming ducks but none have really answered all of my questions. I have a flock of 11 free ranging runner ducks. They range with my chickens and turkey. A few of my ducks are looking a bit thin to where I can almost see breast bone. I don't have...

    San Diego Chicken meetup and Chat thread

    Hello! I have a trio of really nice non-bearded show quality silkies that I'm looking to sell. I usually keep all my silkies until they're 6 months or older but I'm not looking to breed these colors (I'm currently focusing on buff and lavenders). Anyways, the roo is a nice blue partrdige who's...

    Is water treatment necessary?

    If you're going to put anything in the water, put Apple Cider Vinegar. It's a natural way to clean out their insides and keep them healthy. We have pretty hard water too and we just put 2tbsp ACV per 1 gallon of water and everyone is happy as can be. Sorry don't have any direct advice on the...

    If you truely want a real shamo or o-shamo get them from a legit breeder on Ultimate Fowl. A friend of mine bought shamos from Ideal and then brought them over to show us since we have orientals, they weren't shamos at all. They were egg layer crossed to shamo.

    New San Diego County Oridnance On Number of Roosters

    Thank you guys for the kind words, I apologize for airing my frustrations. I guess I'm just a sore looser but this ordinance meant a great deal to me and I am truly dissapointed that it passed. On a brighter note, the North County Times has contacted me and are interested in doing an article on...

    New San Diego County Oridnance On Number of Roosters

    I agree, I was very disappointed with the lack of people who showed up as well but they have no one to blame when their roosters get seized and euthanized but themselves. We tried to warn them, we tried to encourage them to do something but ultimatley it's their own responsibility to show up. We...

    New San Diego County Oridnance On Number of Roosters

    Quote: I've known about this for a while and haven't even bothered defending myself since the claims are so ridiculous. They're targeting me because I'm leading the fight, so I expected some sort of backlash. What makes me really upset is the fact that this was copied and pasted to an email...

    New San Diego County Oridnance On Number of Roosters

    Quote: The ordinance may be "aimed at cockfighters" but it affects everyone. There is no exemption for hobbyists or breeders, THERE ISN'T EVEN AN EXEMPTION FOR NON-PROFIT RESCUES SUCH AS MYSELF and I get calls from shelters day in and day out asking me to take in birds.

    New San Diego County Oridnance On Number of Roosters

    Quote: FANTASTIC RESPONSE! I know exactly who "QuietPlease" is and she's the entire reason this ordinance went through. When the ordinance was read the August 2nd meeting she was one of the people who spoke in support of it. She's also the person who has a facebook page dedicated to people who...

    New San Diego County Oridnance On Number of Roosters

    Quote: Exactly why I encouraged people to send their letters to me directly so that I can present them to the Board directly when I address them at Tuesdays meeting. If you still have a copy of your letter, email it to me please! Thank you!
