Something attacked Olive
I just found my duck outside. She came waking up to me but not quaking when I was calling her treats. All the skin and feathers are gone off her neck. It looks like just muscle. I cleaned her wounds and put Blu kote? And vetericyn and she's in my bathtub with food and water until I finish her... -

Oregon to Texas. Advice on anything appreciated.
Hello! A few of you might know me and Grady who live in Oregon on the coast. Well, we might be taking the journey back to Texas where I'm from but I'll be moving down by the border. I grew up in Dallas so it's a different world. I have no clue on predators or specific things I need to do to... -
Vetericyn and blue kote application on my hen?
One of my hens got attacked by something and she has little puncture wounds on one side so I got the two things listed above and put her in a safe place in the shop. So I've read that I apply the vetericyn first to clean the wound then I fanned it dry and apply the blue Kote. My question is how...- LilyS

Anyone else's runner duck morph into a scrapping savage when the treats come out? Mine does! Olive starts vibrating and I can't explain better than she turns into Jean Claude Van Dam🤣 She used her feet as weapons! Then she stood up with her beak open turning in circles. She only does this with... -

I have a gosling who is 6wks old. Today while I was bringing his peas over to him he ran ahead of me and to my horror took a nibble of fox glove. It's a poisonous plant that grows here. This happened at 4pm. It's now 1am. I've given him active charcoal and he's in bed and has been acting fine. I...
