I need to find out some info. Over the years, I have been able to save my large white ducks after an owl or hawk would try to get them, leaving a back of nasty raw flesh. I have always sprayed peroxide and water mix to the injury over several days/weeks many times a day and they pulled through...

Good mornin' folks, last night a few people told me that my Golden Comets are also called Golden Sex Links. But I couldn't find them on McMurray. Are there other names for these. They look identical to the Golden Laced. Are they the same? Someone help me out. These are my favorite. It is so...
I can't find my Golden Comet breed in McMurray. do they go by another name? I know someone out there will know. I really like my girls and I find them easier to tame down the RIR. They always seemed tense. These gals I have can be carried in one hand up in the air. They are used to it. Never do...
