    Open Contest Memories of Summer—2025

    I had a lot of new experiences this summer, from raising coturnix quail chicks for the first time to my old duck Bee finally achieving motherhood by hatching her adorable son Bramble, but you can’t have the sweet without the bitter in life. At the start of summer Leo “in the pic” and I lost our...

    gander squeaks, shakes head, sneezing

    I use powder because that’s the only kind I can get without a prescription, this stuff in particular https://birdpalproducts.com/products/tylosin-powder-for-birds?_pos=1&_sid=3da5a729e&_ss=r I measure out what I need with a gram scale and mix it inside a syringe with a little water and...

    I think my duck has bad arthritis

    I would follow Jenbirdee’s suggestions, if there isn’t noticeable improvement a vet can prescribe meloxicam which will manage her pain. You can also try glucosamine /cosequin, the dosage for small dogs is about right for a duck. Another thing to try is tart cherry extract which can relieve...

    Duck limping

    Also sometimes it can help getting them to eat again if you mix their feed with enough water to make soup, it encourages play and foraging behavior which can get them eating again.

    Duck limping

    The most concerning thing at this point is that he’s gone off his food. Skin infections of the foot don’t usually cause that unless they’re in considerable pain, lack of appetite is usually from an illness, being very sore from an attack, or vitamin deficiency. He still could have a foot issue...

    Is there any chance the hens or rooster could have attacked him?

    gander squeaks, shakes head, sneezing

    Tylosin works well on CRD. Keep in mind CRD is a chronic illness that will reemerge after from stress or other illness so you may have to retreat him at some point in the future.

    Duck limping

    If the others suggestions don’t resolve the issue try cleaning the feet twice a day with hydrogen peroxide. The last two years a few of my birds have come down with some sort of skin infection that causes limping in the wetter months, it isn’t bumblefoot as it lacks the obvious bullseye but it...

    Help identifying geese!

    They could be two pilgrim girls or possible mixes, they could be production Toulouse also, though pretty much any unidentified grey goose falls into that last category. If whoever sold him to you knew the breed they wouldn’t have sold them as a breeding pair of pilgrims as they would know that...

    weak cockerel with posible respiratory illness help me to diagnose it, please

    If this is what you have on hand it’s worth trying, if you can’t get him to drink any water with it the oral dosage for Tylosin is 40 ml per kg twice daily. Tylosin has a broader safety margin than many other drugs so overdosing a little isn’t the end of the world. Oxytetracycline is an...

    gander squeaks, shakes head, sneezing

    Is a vet in another area an option? Many different respiratory illnesses can cause squeaky coughing and head shaking, CRD is one of them, irrigating his face could indicate something obstructing his sinuses, but the most concerning thing is the loss of his honk as voice and pitch changes are...

    Let’s Talk About Bird Flu

    The CFIA is holding it against the farm that they haven’t provided any legitimate evidence that the birds are involved in research but that very hard to do considering the CFIA will not even allow them to their own testing. There are numerous aspects that warrant further research, like to see...

    Support Group for Abused Duck Keepers

    This summer mine liked disappearing into this mound of smartweed that took over part of their lawn. Other than that they like to hide in the lavender or in some shrubby roses.

    Quail growls?

    He growled at me again today, he was happily gobbling some seebs from my hand, but then I spread the seeds out so the two shy girls could get some and he got all upset with his snacks being on the ground and gurgled at me.

    The thread for bad farm dogs

    I think he did have some sort of mental illness, he came from a puppy mill that one of my neighbors also got a few dogs from, the dogs being shepherd Lab mixes. I’m pretty sure they were his half siblings or cousins. One of them was alright, the other was like Hunter but she was much worse...
