    Any advice for me?

    Situation is that my neighbor of 7 years has up and decided that free ranging his peafowl was a great idea, I am here to tell you, it surely is NOT. (likely let them out because he built the aviary too damn small). Anyhow, about a month ago, I finally got the nerve up to inform them about the...

    Muscovy Moms sharing care of ducklings..

    Yeah, it was really strange to see. I've had Muscovy for a few years now. I would think that the babies have imprinted. Mom (4) hatched Tuesday and Mom (15) hatched Friday. I think I have caught the babies trying to sit under the lonely Mom while the main one gets a meal and a drink..but not...

    Muscovy Moms sharing care of ducklings..

    I've seen this a couple of times with my ladies. First time was two sisters, shared a single nest and the care of their babies. This time, also another pair of sisters, had separate nests but I decided to get all together in one hut (easier that way) one had 4 and the other had 15! I went in to...

    Duck eye problem

    I was just looking up the same exact thing. My Ol boy has one on each side-looks more like a yellow/white bubble in the corner closest to beak..a bit concerning since I don't know what it is and no 'bird' doc either. :(

    Very Sick Duck - Coccidiosis

    Hi, thank you for the information. I will see about getting some of that to have on hand or Corid -- I read was also something to use for Cocci. Sadly, she went last night. In the end, I am not sure whether it was illness or if she had received an injury from an Eagle attack we had a couple of...

    Indian Runner Ducks

    Gosh, thinking I am replying a wee bit late..Indian runners are def good egg layers, the eggs I get when they are cleaned up are kind of a minty green color, roughly about the size of a decent chicken egg. They do not put themselves to bed like Chickens do (nice thing about chickens)..usually I...

    Some causes of EARLY CHICK MORTALITY

    Hi there, so sorry to hear about your chicks. I am not sure what kind of chicks you have or if this even relates to you..however, I had a horrible experience with our last batch of broiler chicks (all were vaccinated in the shell)..came from a reputable hatchery and started sneezing maybe two...

    Some causes of EARLY CHICK MORTALITY

    Currently dealing with high fatalities (30%) in my broiler chicks who are 3 weeks of age. Suspect that they were chilled during transport and have not seen much on the subject other than this posting. Do you know how long can one expect to continue to lose birds after such a thing has happened...

    Entire clutch of duck eggs...Poof! Gone!

    On the upside of all this...looks as though a new clutch has been started under my hen house now. Crafty ducks! And soon will have a yard full of babies. Momma duck (my pic) was very successful with her first batch~laid 18, hatched 17, only one dud. She had so many, she actually lost track of...

    Entire clutch of duck eggs...Poof! Gone!

    Thank you, I will go to that BYC section and look. I do like the game cam idea and has crossed my mind. We have lots of animals here that would take advantage of an easy meal, initially I thought it was a Raccoon with nifty fingers! Ravens are everywhere here, Crows, Mink(nasty lil things)...

    Entire clutch of duck eggs...Poof! Gone!

    It was such a shock to come out this morning to do my rounds and discover that one entire clutch was gone! Was unguarded, not being sat on yet. I have all my ducks as far as I know (one is likely sitting next door). We have all kinds of predators....have found occasionally the odd egg yolk here...

    Indian Runner Ducks

    I think you have a Mister Duck in the bunch!! I too get a little worried when I see someone's head under water..but it is mating...or if you have two males (eww) then it is domination~as in who is going to lead the flock..as far as I know. Since this was posted awhile back..did you get some...
