Is there a "dosing" recommendation? I'd love to start adding a few of these to my flock's diet but will only be able to with the stuff from the store for now - no free range garden

Thanks, I'll get some of those later and try that. Can I overdo it and give them too much B vitamins? If so, how do I dose it?

Would I feed those B vitamins in addition to the electrolyte water and how do I make sure they eat them? Should I crush them up and put them in the water? The poop is coming from the blonde chicken, as best I can tell because she has been eating. And it looks normal. I think I may feel a tiny...

I have some young bantam chickens that I've been raising for a few months now. I've been on vacation the last couple of weeks and returned yesterday - my neighbors who used to have chickens were caring for them while I was away. I went to put my birds up for the night last night and one hen was...

Well, for better or for worse, it just popped off. But she's not even skipped a beat, even nibbling at hard objects (which I would think hurt!). It's a bit deformed, it looks like, but I think we'll be okay!

I haven't been able to buy that glue yet, but I'm getting it as soon as I can, regardless! I give her mushed food, which she eats. She was refusing to drink the ACV water, no matter how diluted it was (apparently she's very picky :rolleyes:) and would just go drink the dog water while she was...

Hi all. My duck is an inside duck, and I've noticed a couple of times now that she dips and fluffs herself up and flaps her wings a bit in the middle of my living room floor. It looks exactly like what she does when she's in the tub. Sometimes she does it after drinking from her water too. She...

My duck injured her bill last week. I think she caught it in the wire of her cage and the end got ripped up a tiny bit. She was reserved the day of and a little bit the next day, but now she's back to normal. She still comes out and runs around like normal, she drinks normally, and is back to...

I check all of my plants for toxicity first thing so that I can keep an extra close eye on my critters around them. But thanks and glad to be here! :)

Thanks for all of the tips guys! She's doing much better today and I'm thinking it won't need glued - it's still attached pretty well. But I will be putting that glue in my Amazon cart! Also, glad for the burrito tip - as a Muscovy, her nails are insane!

Oh yeah, she and the pug have both put each other in their respective places, and now they've got that uneasy peace happening. You read my mind in terms of which kind of duck friend I'll be looking for. ;)

I'll keep up on the water and I'll keep an eye on her eating. She's steering very clear of the bars right now... hopefully, it stays that way!

I'm just wondering what you guys do for your ducks for enrichment and toys? Ducky is a house duck, so I'm on the lookout for things she can play with which will help keep her entertained (mostly when she's in her cage, but also when she's out). She's a curious little girl who loves to check out...

Thanks! :) I'm probably moving in a few months, and once I do, I'm hoping to get her a duck friend, just so she can have a buddy who speaks her language and such. I just don't have the room for two right now!

I don't think she'd keep her head still enough for that... She's got the whole Muscovy head bob thing going, and she hates it when I mess with her head/bill. Those pictures were difficult enough! But thanks for the tip!

Hello! I'm new to BYC, but not new to chickens and other fowl. My family has always had birds outside and free range, be they chickens, waterfowl, turkeys, etc. But now I'm in college, and I'm renting a small house with no outside area for birds. A little while ago, one of our Muscovy ducks...

I have a house duck (She was a late hatch and her mom abandoned her. By the time she grew up, our harsh winter was upon us, so she became a house duck). I moved her a few days ago from the tote she was living in to a bigger wire cage. She struggled a little bit with the move because she could...
