Okay, your coyote story sufficiently freaked me out. I have a 6-ft fence, and a few brats that are refusing to get out of the pond at night.Teenages,what do you do?. I heard the neighbor's cows putting up a fuss & dog barking so I went out and had some eye shine about 30 ft on the other side of...
6 in central Washington -10 with windchill. They're saying 3 & -20 tonight. Now that winter is here. I wish I would snow and keep the ground frozen for a few, I could do with less mud for a minute.
Warming up my fermented feed by the fire to give them that little extra warmth this morning...
Coincidentally, my email is a my name.carsandducks@
I worked in the car business for 20 plus years.
Hubs and I were talking about going to the west side of the state where there's a rally training track, he has an STI. That plan went to the wayside after he was in a very bad motorcycle accident...
I have found my people!
It started with two and then there was four, four became 18, a lost one moved in.. now babies, I'm up to 38 after the last three that hatched last night. I need to get it back down to 20.. a couple new mamas and theor 15 babies have swam under the fence and are helping...
So sorry for your loss.I have no words of wisdom,I'm only about 2 years into this crazy passion.I never dreamed I would fall so deep in love with fowl.Its heartbreaking when you loose one.(I have learned through this I am not cut out to be a meat bird farmer).
Just wanted to offer my condolences.
I wish I had time to finish reading this thread, I came here because I am currently in the same situation.. well not really. I get to keep one of my earrings for now. No not only do I know it's not necessarily a death sentence & I'm not the only one to have this happen and the scenario you just...
Sorry to hear about your girl.I too am new to fowl and absolutely love my ducks. I have a feeling losing one of them is going to be as bad as losing the dog.
Phew, it's a good thing I lied (un intentionally). it was injectable penicillin with directions from our new friend at the feed store on dosing... Read this got scared and had to run and see what was in the refrigerator. No idea why that other name really rung a bell with me.
As far as you...
I think this is what I just got to use on a hen the dog got, I was telling her about that in my post just below yours. I ended up not doing a full course.poor thing didn't have anywhere to really poke but I figured I'd put us both through it if it started to look infected and it never did. At...
I'm fairly new at this chicken and duck thing. Unfortunately I've had a couple occasions to treat them for wounds. The first was a duck an the daughter's dog when she was here to visit and about 2 weeks ago my husband forgot I had seven chickens that My son-in-law rescued, and actually was going...
This is one fence I don't think I have to worry about them getting stuck in (I better not have just jinxed myself! )I think the hubs did pretty good on this one! Please excuse the gypsy camp look in the background. I wanted to totally seal off from above because I'm paranoid of bird flu and live...
Amazing thing happened while I was gone! The Duckers are growing on the husband! So much so I think today he is finally going to help me install my 32 gallon trash can filter :) I could probably do it, I just don't want to go wonkey with the the hole saw and have leaks forever. I am so over...
We'll,it's been a typical crazy week for my flock. Only three of The Princesses eggs hatched. The next day Brown Duck decided she was done and wanted to go hang out with her guy instead of being a mother and abandoned her nest and her baby. I thought that was kind of strange but why wouldn't I...
I put a partition for now, going to see if any other eggs hatch before I move them, I think, I don't know. The other Mama had 2 hatch last night. I guess I didn't think this through. I almost feel like a teen mom again and don't have a clue what I'm doing and probably could have been more...
