    Bumblefoot and doxycycline

    Hello, I am treating a goose with bumblefoot. I have been soaking her foot twice a day. I don't want to cut into her foot because I don't think the infection is very bad. I did get some of it out today but I'm having a terrible time keeping her foot bandaged. I plan on soaking her some more...

    Abandoned peahen in my lawn

    What do I do for an abandoned peahen? I believe she was dumped a few days ago at the bottom of my lane. She has made her way up to my house. I'm guessing she hears my other birds.

    Hello, I want to get a premier one electric fence to do rotational grazing for my chickens, ducks and geese. I have many foxes in my area, but they leave my permanent run alone because it's electrified, has a predator apron and motion detector lights. Will foxes dig under a movable electric...

    Bumble foot?

    I have treated bumble foot before, but I have not seen one like this. The foot is swollen but there doesn't seem to be a real plug or scab to cut out. I have been soaking the foot 2 times a day for 30 minutes thinking that if that black thing is a plug it should loosen. Any insight would be...

    Male duck aggression towards chickens

    Hello, I have 4 ducks. 3 females and 1 male who free range with my flock on 19 hens and 1 rooster. Most of the chickens are not fully mature yet. Recently I have noticed my male duck grabbing hens when they are free ranging. He doesn't mess with the adult hens. They have enough food and...
