I have a mixed flock of fancy pigeons that is one female short. Now the male will not leave the other girls alone even though they're not interested. They can't catch a breath without him chasing them all around.
The majority of the birds are Lucerne gold collar, I have a few giant homer...
My parents have a couple muscovies that are bullying their geese and pushing them out to the road. I've offered to take the ducks at my house instead to give the geese a break. However, I live in town. I've already checked; ducks are allowed. I plan to clip their wings and let them free roam in...
Penny was a bit lethargic this morning when I let everyone out of their coop and standing with her wings slack and other feathers all fluffed up. I brought her inside and she is relatively alert but still clearly has something going on.
I'm trying to attach a video of her vent. It seems to make...
I have some young bantam chickens that I've been raising for a few months now. I've been on vacation the last couple of weeks and returned yesterday - my neighbors who used to have chickens were caring for them while I was away.
I went to put my birds up for the night last night and one hen was...
Hi all. My duck is an inside duck, and I've noticed a couple of times now that she dips and fluffs herself up and flaps her wings a bit in the middle of my living room floor. It looks exactly like what she does when she's in the tub. Sometimes she does it after drinking from her water too. She...
My duck injured her bill last week. I think she caught it in the wire of her cage and the end got ripped up a tiny bit. She was reserved the day of and a little bit the next day, but now she's back to normal. She still comes out and runs around like normal, she drinks normally, and is back to...
I'm just wondering what you guys do for your ducks for enrichment and toys? Ducky is a house duck, so I'm on the lookout for things she can play with which will help keep her entertained (mostly when she's in her cage, but also when she's out). She's a curious little girl who loves to check out...
Hello! I'm new to BYC, but not new to chickens and other fowl. My family has always had birds outside and free range, be they chickens, waterfowl, turkeys, etc. But now I'm in college, and I'm renting a small house with no outside area for birds. A little while ago, one of our Muscovy ducks...
I have a house duck (She was a late hatch and her mom abandoned her. By the time she grew up, our harsh winter was upon us, so she became a house duck). I moved her a few days ago from the tote she was living in to a bigger wire cage. She struggled a little bit with the move because she could...
