    Duck Nesting Boxes

    My small flock free ranges, but mainly hang out around the ponds. I would like like to provide some individual nesting shelters for them, but am having a hard time finding some pictures and building plans for just nests. I've seen some muscovy shelters made from barrels cut in half, but they...

    HELP! - Splash Copper Marans Roo, 3 mos old; pale blue-purple comb, lethargic, v skinny

    I haven't been on BYC in quite a while as I've had fairly good luck with my flock for several years. I recently, Mid April 2017 brought home 20 chicks 6 weeks old. I kept them quarantined for 60 days, then released them to free range with the rest of the flock. While they were locked I fed them...

    Sexing juvenile muscovy duck

    Just based on size alone, I'm thinking 5 drakes and 4 ducks. 1 Drake has full on Angel Wing and 1 of the ducks has Angel Wing on one size. The mother duck was hit on the road the day before and the woman who had them was feeding them cat food. She has 9 cats and the ducks were nesting on the...

    Sexing juvenile muscovy duck

    BYC...Help! We just rescued 9 Muscovy ducks and I'm not familiar with the breed at all. When we went to catch them, I thought, there's no way those tug boat bodies could fly, but they did. Right up onto the roof of the house. I was expecting to see the familiar curled tail feathers to indicate a...

    Not sure of breeds.

    Was given 3 hens/2 roosters and while I'm pretty sure one of the hens is a light Brahma, I'm guessing at the others. I'm thinking Light Brahma Rooster, Nankin Rooster, Showgirl, I'm not sure what the black hen with the red/orange chest feathers is. Maybe Black Sex-link??

    LGD's - Training or Instinct?

    From your replies, I'm thinking I did not communicate effectively. The run is surrounded by 3 layers of fencing all tacked to the same 8ft tall 6" round posts. The outer layer is the 8ft deer fencing, middle layer is the 8ft woven wire garden fencing and the 3rd layer is 4ft green plastic...

    Lethargic Hen, thought she was egg bound, checked Cloaca and drained approx. 1 pint of urine, no egg

    Thank you all for your posts. I will put her to rest this evening.

    I thought it was internal laying

    I just posted on similar issue, but have not culled. I certainly don't want the hen in pain and will cull if necessary.

    Lethargic Hen, thought she was egg bound, checked Cloaca and drained approx. 1 pint of urine, no egg

    Thank you in advance for your assistance. I searched to see if anyone had encountered this issue, but couldn't find an instanced where the hen was filled with urine and not a busted egg. 1) What type of bird , age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.)...

    Newborn duckling with splayed legs and droopy neck.

    Good news...baby is doing so much better today. Head is up and very alert. Baby has managed to get one leg under and is getting around with a slight limp. I tried to tape the legs together (hobble), but the vet wrap was a slight pinkish and the mother hen went crazy trying to pick it off. I'll...

    Newborn duckling with splayed legs and droopy neck.

    Chicken hen successfully hatched 9 out of 12 duck eggs. One duckling has both splayed legs and a very weak droopy neck. I can tape up the legs, but then the ducky is flat out on it's belly with both legs behind it. Is drinking when assisted and will try and eat but is certainly not getting as...

    Great Pyrenees livestock guardian

    I realize that the OP is over a year old, but I was so interested in what was said I wanted to share my experience to see if anyone would respond. I have a nearly 11 month old GP. He has totally ignored the chickens, even newly hatched ones, doesn't give them the time of day. He doesn't seem...
