I’ll let you know if it works

I will try to get some tomorrow. It’s not an open gaping wound, it’s from being grabbed for breeding. If the vasoline doesn’t work he’s getting separated

1 drake six hens. One of the hens has a bloody neck and spends most of the day hiding from the group. Is there anything we can do beside separate. We put a bunch of vasoline on her neck hoping it would slow him down, not sure how that will work. In about 3 months I will be integrating another 12...

Yes they are feisty, I keep thinking oh no you are acting like a rooster

I get this from Walmart and open a capsule and mix in water. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Nature-s-Way-Niacin-Capsules-100-Ct/24817746

I have VetRX and Nutri Drench not sure if I should add it to the water?

Well she just took a couple of drinks, refused food and ran back under the heat plate

I have chicks that are 2 weeks old now. Lost one about a week ago, now I have another that is acting strange. It is fluffing its feathers and not moving around much. Poop is fine, craw is empty, doesn't want to eat or drink. No sign of panting or respiratory problems. The the chick that died was...

I have three dogs that watch out for land predators but they can't really stop hawks. One of the dogs will jump up at a tree if a hawk lands in it. We put all poultry up at night and watch as carefully as we can in the day. The ducks spend so much time with the dogs that they follow the one dog...

Heres the new babies. Although since this picture a week ago, they have doubled in size

I have bought ducks from Cackle three times and they are great. I have adult Anconas and Kahki Campbells that I got 2 years ago, I get eggs from them everyday. Two of them lay pretty green eggs. I got 2 Blue Swedish a week ago, they are so cute and growing like a weed. I have 8 more ducks coming...

Oh and my husband made a welded wire for the top. One lid on each side with a hinge in between. The chicks will start flying out in a week.

We bought 2 clear totes 50 gallon from Walmart and put a door between. I use a dust bin to remove the chips everyday. They have a bowl of dirt with grit, food, water and a little roost made of dowel rod. Having the two totes together makes cleaning easy, we just shoo them into one while cleaning...

We have double 50 gal tubs and have to clean and replace chips daily.

I have ordered from Cackle three times and the chicks and ducklings are great.

I agree, I just got Rentacoop 16x16 for 16 chicks, I don't think 12X12 would work for that many and the price is not that much more to bump up one

Cackle has females but I think minimum is 3

I would be worried that they ran out water or filled it up with wood chips. We have to change water and add feed twice a day. Also how big of an area are they in, if you have many they will be in pretty dirty conditions within 3 days.

We got the height adjusted and they all seem happy

I bought a couple of the Rentacoop brooder heat plates. I am scared that they will burn their little heads. If I put my hand on it it’s to hot to leave there. I have it raised high enough that they can walk around under, but if I put a thermometer under then it is only 80 degrees which is not...
