    Using metal garbage can as feeder?

    The screen shot clearly states owners had their bird tested. Anyway. It's not my job to prove someone else's experience.

    Using metal garbage can as feeder?

    I had a direct communication somewhere in that thread. They had their ducks tested and found it to be zinc poisoning. Her husband was rebuilding an entirely new accommodation to fix the issue and the screen shot also shows people who got their ducks tested. You are being offensive by the way...

    Devastated after dog attack

    I understand completely but I would also be traumatised having to kill a dog to protect my animals. Its so unfair to be put in that position. If owners would just take responsibility and care.

    Devastated after dog attack

    How traumatising! A "sorry ..but..." doesn't cut it. Make a dangerous dog report for your birds ...yourself and everyone in the area that has a pet or small child. If someone can't contain their pet,they can't maintain the pet. End of story. Make that call and let us know how you go. If...

    Using metal garbage can as feeder?

    Most people don't get lab tests so it goes undiagnosed or misdiagnosed.

    Is my duckling overly bitey?

    It can take a long time for nutritional deficit to show and then it can sometimes be too late. The food designed for them is balanced.

    Is my duckling overly bitey?

    I am not offended. A balanced diet is best though.

    Dogs eating chickens

    My dogs were overly interested and uncontrollably excited around my first ducks so I kept them separated but visible until they lost some interest. Then they were all out in the open for periods with supervision. I used my voice to stop them if they got too focussed, made them sit and then...

    Is it illegal for others to catch chickens in the streets? (Miami-Dade County, Florida)

    And...who the heck hates chickens?! Honestly...the mind boggles. People are weird.

    Using metal garbage can as feeder?

    I was reading a post about people accidentally giving their duck flock zinc poisoning by using a galvanized product. Over time water erodes it and it leaches zinc into the soil, water, feed...everything around it.

    Is my duckling overly bitey?

    I think you have to be careful that you don't overdo the peas. While they benefit from the extra niacin in the peas, they need lots of other things too which are in the balanced feed designed for ducklings. Also you don't need to blend the peas.

    Is it illegal for others to catch chickens in the streets? (Miami-Dade County, Florida)

    I think you should ask a lawyer or ring your local council or both. They would not be allowed to do this in Australia but national laws and local ordinances vary wildly.

    Something has killed 4 of my ducks… what do I do???

    That's traumatising. How is the rest of your flock behaving after witnessing that? How did it get in?

    Oh I am relieved for you! That's great. Poor thing. Looked so traumatised in the photo. Will take a bit to fully recover and get the confidence back too.
