    New member.. Hi!

    Hello from across the very large duck pond! 😆🤷🏻‍♀️. You couldn't have picked a better place for chicken advice! This group is amazing, and they have so much knowledge they are willing to share to help us chickeners (and duckers) so we can help our feathery flock. I love it here, and have had...

    caruncle in a muscovy is getting lighter in color and white streaked

    How is the drake doing now? I've read somewhere that they do change when breeding season comes in, usually to a deep red color, and they will get pale if something isn't right, like a deficiency, or an injury....

    I have not yet experienced having mallards in the flock, but we had a few khaki Campbell's and a friend put a few eggs in the incubator , and next thing I knew she was knocking on the door with 3 tiny little floofs. When they grew up, they looked almost identical to mallards. One drakes head...

    Maybe he thought "man that dude is a duck magnet (like a chic magnet😆) and I should probably go be his bestie. Plus, he had food and an endless supply of water..... I can't lose. " Do you still have him and the ladies?

    Young rooster with a foot growing from a foot?!? 🤷🏻‍♀️🤔

    And when I started searching for this online, I kept seeing the silkies with their 5 toes, but his are not placed like theirs. His looks to me, like a foot grew from another foot. 🤷🏻‍♀️

    Young rooster with a foot growing from a foot?!? 🤷🏻‍♀️🤔

    What if I use veterycin spray? Or I have antibiotic ointment. With no pain relief. 😬. I'll see if he will let me trim the nail. (The owner, not the rooster. 😆) I have always used flour for the dogs, I'm guessing it would work for the chickens too? Thank you so much. I'll see if I can get a...

    I'm so glad he came back. He got across the field and thought about it. He said "I don't see any ladies over here, maybe I should go chill with them."

    Young rooster with a foot growing from a foot?!? 🤷🏻‍♀️🤔

    I'm sorry if this should go somewhere else, but I didn't see a better place to put it. My neighbor has a rooster that his hen hatched about 2 months ago. It looks like it is growing 2 extra feet on top of its regular feet. I don't even know how to explain it, unless you've seen the movie...

    Yep ..we uh, found out the hard way....we weren't trying to free range them though....🫤. The male got loose and we were trying to casually catch him, and that sucker lifted straight up off the ground like a helicopter.😳😳😳 We watched him fly away, and never saw him again. We barely got the 3...

    The Quack Shack

    I'm not an expert, by any means, but I have read that if the female has a reproductive issue, and becomes infertile, she will grow a "dangler", a drake feather, start with the froggy quack(like froggie from the little rascals), and turn into a drake, IF there aren't enough drakes around already...

    Muscovies are always busy. 😆. I never heard the phrase "breeding like Muscovies" and I can't figure out why. 😆 Rabbits ain't got nothing on Muscovies.

    Lol overwhelmed with cuteness, 100% YES!!! Food barrel is more overwhelmed than I am though. 😆. I love all the adorable little floofy babies! I'd have 1,000,000 little waddlers around me if I could feed em all! ❤️❤️❤️ But, sadly enough, I can't. 😥. On the bright side, there are so many...

    Broody hatched 3 babies and left the nest, got locked up in a separate area and another baby hatched and looks really weak

    Whitey bulger was hatched out about a year ago. So he's a youngster, but still gangster as all get out. 🙄😆. I've been giving him some peas mixed with his food. The day we found him, he had bright red places on his chest, almost looked like blood blisters they were so red. The next day, it...

    Broody hatched 3 babies and left the nest, got locked up in a separate area and another baby hatched and looks really weak

    And the pic I posted up above, is obviously a hen. 🙄🤦🏻‍♀️. I don't know what happened there. 🤔 I'll post a pic of the real whitey bulger here. Well, it's mostly his backside, but it's him😆. He's the white and gray one that's leading the way. He just looks like a hitman for the Mafia. 🤷🏻‍♀️

    Broody hatched 3 babies and left the nest, got locked up in a separate area and another baby hatched and looks really weak

    The drake, our gangster hit man, whitey bulger, is doing better. He seems to improve a little each day. I'm not real sure what happened to him though. I don't think those are tooth punctures on his chest area, it's more like feathers got ripped out ..I think. I've been soaking him in the...

    Duck bit by Snake

    I'm sorry, and it sucks, but the only thing I've found that works, is the snake has to go. Black snake or whatever, it will keep coming back. We lost a full grown muscovy hen that the snake killed, tried to swallow but she was too big, so it spit her back out. Her neck and head were wet...
