I have a 3 year old Bantam hen who is covered in lumps and scabs that flake off leaving raw pink skin underneath them. The skin seems to split open easily over the lumps. She's been treated for mites with ivermectin and seven dust. I've tried a round of penicillin and a round of baytril and...

I know the topic of insulation has been discussed often, but now I'm seriously considering insulating my coop and I'm wondering if I need to insulate it like I would the walls in my house or just a little to see benefits. I live in PA and the past few years we've had some brutal winters. Last...

Hey everyone- stick with me this is long but I'm trying to be as descriptive as possible. I noticed about a month ago that our 1 year old Ameraucana hen Snuggles was looking a little thinner than usual and that she had stopped laying. I didn't think much of it because some of the other girls had...

6 Ducklings hatched 8/16/17. Momma is a Black East Indie call duck mix and Daddy is a Welsh Harlequin. Six available. They are very tiny and currently can squeeze through 1" chicken wire so be prepared! $2 each. Located in Shippensburg, Pa, about 1 hour south of Harrisburg.

These three were all rescued together, the female khaki's upper bill is shorter than her lower but she has adapted well. I have had them for two years and they have always been together so they must be re-homed together. They were young adults when I got them so I do not know their exact age...

I have 12 muscovy eggs I started in my incubator and a hen (chicken) who just went broody. Since she's sitting on nothing right now can I give her a few eggs to brood or would that be harmful to the embryo and affect the hatch rate? Thanks!

I have a silkie hen that I've had for approximately 8 months who started hiding in a nest box with half of her face swollen three weeks ago. I brought her inside thinking it was just a respiratory issue since she had a lot of nasal discharge but she didn't respond to Tylan. Then I noticed a scab...

This has been going on for about 6 weeks now and I've tried everything I can think of, so I need your help! Copper aka Wobbles is a banty rooster, age unknown, who is a rescue that the neighbor girl brought to me with a bunch of others to add to my rescue flock. I've had him about six months. He...

Many of my chickens have started sneezing and rattling with this odd weather we've been having. I've heard good things about Denegard and wanted to try it out but was wondering whether it would be safe for ducks or not. My chickens and ducks all live together so it is impossible to medicate...

This will be long and detailed so I apologize in advance... All of my ducks are rescues and came to me in not so great condition. I've had most of them for a year now and they have all appeared healthy and happy. We took in a few chickens the neighbor girl had rescued that she could no longer...

These ladies showed up and made themselves right at home with my flock of Muscovies. Anyone know what breeds they are? I'm pretty sure this one is a Rouen. It's not he best picture but the one in the front has hints of gray on its neck and back. The back right looks like a Khaki Campbell...

I have two Red Ranger Roos (hatched on Easter) and three other roos-1 is a bantam- that I dont know breed of or age that need homes. They are beautiful birds and active breeders I just I have too many for my hens! I also have 10+ Muscovy drakes that need a good home, too many males and not...

I have a 6 week old duckling who was raised by her mother and has been out and about with her siblings. I noticed recently that she was falling behind the rest of them, didn't run around as much and that she was getting trampled at feeding time and didn't make an effort to get out of the way. I...

One of my muscovy drakes stupidly flew into my fenced backyard while I had my 230lb English Mastiff outside and of course my dog grabbed him. Thankfully I was able to get Owen (my dog) to drop the duck and go inside. This happened on 7/8. I checked the duck over thoroughly for puncture wounds or...

So this little guy (or gal) wandered into my yard yesterday and made itself at home with my muscovies. I watched him run his beak along the ground attempting to eat and after not being able to pick any food up he'd lay down somewhere. He looked really dirty and rough and was getting nipped when...

One of my bantams eggs hatched a day early. Thankfully I checked under her today because I found this little one with the side of her head bloodied and she wont open either eye. I have no idea what happened to her, she could only be12 hours old. Maybe the roister thats been after momma? I...

One of my muscovies had a nest due about 10 days ago. About a week before the due date she kicked a few out of the nest that were bad. But nothing hatched and the smell coming from under the big fuel tank where her nest is at is godawful. She is still sitting on about six eggs and refuses to...

This is my first summer with Muscovy Ducks and I just realized something: WE HAVE NO MOSQUITOES!! We live in the woods at the base of the Appalachian Mountains so normally we are bombarded with mosquitos, you get bitten just walking out to get in your car. I just asked a friend if mosquitos...

Muscovy ducklings, 10 available, more due soon. $3 each or all 10 for $20. Located in Shippensburg, PA.

One of the muscovy ducks I had rehabilitated from my despicable livestock dealer neighbor, a girl I named mohawk, disappeared a month ago. She had started following a stray drake from the neighbors around and I had a feeling she followed the drake back to his house and got trapped. I was...
