    Older peacock, both leg joints swollen and soft.

    I’m robbing someone else’s picture because I have both his legs bandaged up and used an antibiotic ointment called mupiricon. No breakage on skin/scales. He was limping on one leg for a while so I isolated him and fed him full of good food, some vitamins, ACV, and added green/blue mold from...

    Ducks eat garlic? Mine apparently do! They used to turn their beaks up to it.

    I've got a waste bin in the kitchen. A lot of times it is full of garlic, onions peels & pieces, tomatoes, cabbage, peppers, etc... They eat up the tomatoes and cabbage, and peppers every time. I had planted some garlic and it disappeared. Last night I dumped the waste bin into their pen and...

    Dogs are killing my ducks and chickens. How do I safely repel them? Ultra sonic?

    Green / yellow egg whites! Almost neon in color.

    I noticed one of my chickens is laying bad eggs! They smell fishy. I haven't eaten any eggs from any chickens. I've had about 8 so far. What's going on? The egg white runs from one end of the pan to the other, and the yoke itself is very flat. :( Is my chicken a goner?

    Ducks, they seem to be terrified of me!

    I purchased 5 ducks that were about a day or so old. Two are Pekin, two are female mallards, and last one is a mostly black duck with a white breast and green tint in the head. Anyway, they are about 3 months old now, and always run away from me. I try to feed them treats but they simply aren't...
