Alright, I’m confused. I’ve been feeding my flocks frozen sweet peas since they were old enough to snack on them. My husband and I got fresh sweet peas at a farmers market and they were going bad so I googled if the flock could have them and all this stuff came up about sweet peas being TOXIC...

Helllo, Was looking for ideas & advice for our baby pool in our enclosure. We have it at ground level, in a large hole dug up. But recently the ground has stopped draining and the dirty water (poopy water) isn’t going anywhere. It’s also a hassle to fill the pool up but that may just be part...

So we’ve decided to put our drake in “drake jail”....we feel bad but our girls are all missing hair on their neck/back of their head and one of them it’s down to the skin and she was raw and bloodly. Poor girl. That was our deciding factor. Our drake isn’t like crazy with the mating, but he is...

I posted this in the emergency/injury thread but no one ever answers me on that one! I noticed blood on my Muscovy hens foot earlier this afternoon, we got a look at it later this evening when we were able to catch her. All the blood is gone, and it’s not bleeding anymore but it appears one of...

I noticed blood on my Muscovy hens foot earlier this afternoon, we got a look at it later this evening when we were able to catch her. All the blood is gone, and it’s not bleeding anymore but it appears one of her webs is completely torn. In my opinion it doesn’t really look raw or like there’s...

Alright! My duck people! I’m stressing out a little bit about my flock! I’ve got a hen (chicken hen) that I THINK is broody but then I read about egg bound and now I’m super worried maybe she’s egg bound! But she has many signs of broodiness and we already had to break her broodiness awhile...

Hello, My Muscovy hen’s beak and curncles (have no idea if I spelled that right) are a little beat up from our drake peaking her in the face during his mating rituals or whatever they are. We just brought home two more Muscovy hens around the same age, little younger by a month maybe, in hopes...

I’m currently off work because of all this craziness going on in the world BUT it’s totally awesome because last weekend we added some new members to our flock! We got two Muscovy hens, very close in age to our muscovies. We hope that adding two more Muscovy hens will take some heat off...

Hi guys, It’s our first Spring with ducks & chickens. My husband fears our drake Muscovy is going to be too much for our females in their enclosure. They have no escape. I would like to get more female ducks, but he doesn’t want too. He’s already pretty rough with them, I was warned mating was...

Hi guys, I posted in illnesses and emergencies but I’m not hearing very much back. Today my husband picked up our mallard because she had feathers stuck on her nose. He noticed discoloring and some blood. He’s worried she might have some kind of an infection, he did see her poop and it was runny...

Hi there, My husband picked up our Mallard today because she had some feathers stuck on her nose. And he noticed some blood and discoloring on her beak. He’s worried she may have some serious infection or something, I’m trying not to freak out until it’s necessary. We have 4 other ducks & 3...

Hi everyone! Please give me to low down on having a flock and getting snow? Is snow unsafe for ducks to be in? Thanks!!!

Hello, We have always had mice issues in our home but this is our first year with a backyard flock. We originally tried the normal traps but the mice always outsmart them. We do not want to use the sticky traps because they are very cruel. We have a pest company and used posion this past year...

Hi there! So I have a small flock, my first two ducks were muscovies (although we bought them under the impression they were Pekins) we love them. We love their personalities and how unquie they are. But they’re so so so so mean to our lone Rouen (or mallard, we aren’t sure what she is now), her...

Hello, I need opinions ASAP! We’ve been having hawk issues, we lost one of our young Rouens about a month back. And recently a young rooster, so our flock has been locked up in their coops during the day while we’re gone. My husband usually gets home around 4 and they get to free range until...

Everyone tell me about your WH ducklings if you’ve ever had any! My two babies are super clumsy but I don’t know if that’s normal or not because I am have only raised two Rouen ducklings before them and they were not clumsy but the circumstances were different with the Rouens, they got out more...

I just wanted to ask when it is safe to let my ducklings swim in our creek? We want to introduce it as early as possible so they are use to it and not scared. They will be 4 weeks on Monday! Oh how they have grown. They’re flakey, and we’ve been letting them swim in the bathtub on weekends, but...

I am new to using VETRx. I followed the directions to make the solution with the VETRx & water. I kept the solution in a closed container because I didn’t want to dump it. I was wondering if it can be reused, it seemed like such a waste to dump a whole cup of it out. I brought a spray bottle...

So I need some major urgent advice. One of my young Rouens went missing from my yard this evening & I am heartbroken. She left her sister. There was no evidence of struggle. No evidence that anything took her. But she is gone. Her sister is distraught and I’m not sure what to do. My husband is...

Hi guys! So my one baby duckling has a runny nose now accompanied by sneezing. It’s not constant sneezing, just every now and then. And they’re both sneezing a little but only one have a clear runny nose. I’m trying to stay calm about it. They got to swim in the warm bath tub today and the...
