    Domestic ducks with 'Rice Breast"

    Thanks for the info. There is no way of knowing if those hens actually had the disease or not. Been gathering information and did necropies on two ducks this weekend just to be sure, neither showed any signs of the parasite ( or any other parasite for that matter). Trying to be vigilant with my...

    Domestic ducks with 'Rice Breast"

    Recently a friend of mine that I gave several older hens and 6 ducklings contacted me regarding "rice breast" in one of the old (7-8yr) hens that she butchered due to her inability to walk. She raises sight hounds and is looking for the source of their continual health issues. My understanding...

    Anyone ever have a dog with ostiosarcoma?

    My Rott was not able to handle Tramodal, made her sick to her stomach and then she refused to eat. I used other cocktails of pain meds including Medicam. I also went to a narcotic - simular to Morphine - for the last weeks. Hang in there, once you find a good pain reliever it will make all the...

    How would you know if it were, in fact, too cold for your ducks?

    Regarding deep bedding: We start bedding the barns for winter in about September. We use a good soil/rock base - add straw in good layers, turned daily. Add more straw when that is soiled; turn daily - only the newest layer. There are dangers to doing this and if you are not vigilant about...

    How would you know if it were, in fact, too cold for your ducks?

    For oiling feathers - the best recipe I found is the simplest - any kind of eatable oil. I use the lightest viscosity I can, usually almond or avocado or a mix with olive oil. Sometimes I mix it, sometimes I use it straight – it depends on the case. There have been times when I have heated up...

    Neighbors dog gone into my duck pen (update page 4)

    I charge $25 each for the females and $20 for the males, show quality breeders (not good enough for show). The neighbor is financially responsible to replace the ducks and repair or retrofit the fence so that their dog doesn't do it again. If they resist, file charges with animal control - the...

    What breed of bird is this?

    Definitely not a chicken! I'm pretty sure it's a Juvenile Coot. I live on the Umpqua River in Oregon - the Juvies fly up my creek all the time and sneak a peek at my mallard flock

    How would you know if it were, in fact, too cold for your ducks?

    From Rainy, Windy Oregon where we only get to about 20 dc in the winter: I deep bed the barns and coops with straw, put a 'brooder' light in one corner and leave the door to the coop open, the ducks come and go - they are able to regulate themselves pretty well. I watch for ducks that are too...

    Anyone ever have a dog with ostiosarcoma?

    I am so sorry - I lost my Rott last year to the same cancer. I made the decision to not do invasive treatments with her. Once we had to the diagnoses confirmed, the X-rays told us the extent of the spread and location - then I kept her home with me and the family at the farm. I worked on pain...
