Yes there is a drain in the pool it’s a 50 gallon live stock rubber made tank I drilled a hole in the bottom of it and have a 1-1/2 drain line coming down then out the side of the deck where I hook a hose too it and run it right out of the pen
This is our new addition too our back yard flock we had the bright idea too get our selves some ducks (witch My wife and I did not mind too relive our childhood memories of growing up with them) But once we got them as little duckling I did some reading on keeping them with chickens and I did...
I have a 50 gallon horse trough I use for there pond can I use the heating rod that is made for it or will it become too hot for the ducks if they touch the rod
They are not crowded I only had 10 birds coop is big enough too support 20 and they free range 10 acres of land every day so I’m very confused on this I’m not sure if they have gotten sick and that’s why they killed the other bird thinking she was sick but don’t make any seance being they did...
I had too put her down today she had gotten a big bubble below her vent kinda like a hemroid she did not have lice or mites I checked… but the funny thing is about an 1 hour after putting her down my other birds started too beat the hell out of another chicken and almost killed her I have her...
My bird has a swollen lump on its comb now she is getting lazy and she has the runs now she dose not walk with the flock and sticks by her self been going on 3 days now any idea what it is
Well here is an up date I started free ranging the birds again for our snow is gone now and her feathers are starting too grow back!!! So I don't think it was bugs but maybe the stress of the winter?
That's the strange part she grew back all her feathers after her molt she looked normal and fully feathered it's just not till recently that she has lost them again I'm really at a loss with this one maybe tonight I'll try too get a pick of her bottom too post too see what you think
There is no crusted or yellow poo stuck too her butt at all she is clean the skin is it's normal yellow looking color maybe an ever so light tint of red she has the dimple spots where the feathers go all over looking uniform her bottom looks as if you where too pluck her with he dimples
The roost is smooth and she roost every night she dose not sleep on the ground or in the box the roost is 2x2 in size when I noticed the bird being bald I did look close at her and did not see any bugs on her during the day but I have not looked at the roost at night with a flashlight too see if...
She is only 2 years old she has not been broody she has already malted and grown back feathers from her malt there is no blood in the bold spot I don't see any singes of bugs the missing feathers I don't see but could be becouse we have a rat problem so I'm sure they are steeling the feathers...
My chickens butt on the underside of her is bold it is not red or swollen but just completely bare she seems fine running around eating and being a chicken bits there is no feathers starting by her vent up too about her chest please help what could this be!!!
