I used to have Muscovy ducks that appeared sick all of a sudden and would be dead by the 3rd day. I never found out what killed them either. No place back then to take them too but I only had one die at a time. Hope the rest do ok.
Made the cage all set up for my pet goose this morning and brought him in. I have had him since '94 and he had to be 2 years old then at least and with the years he is just to old now to stay outside during winter. He has a new chicken coop that is insulated but it is still to cold for him. Plus...
When I had my ducks and they got sick I could not find one vet who would help them. Not sure if I could find one now to take care of the rooster/2 hens I have now but if I could find one I would take them. They are a breathing animal with feelings. You are not stupid. It shows you care.
When I was in 11th grade I learned I did not like sewing and the sewing machine did not like me. ha Had to take half a semister of sewing back then and the teacher did pass me but I spent every study hall I had on sewing. From then on I taught myself to crochet and knit. Had my grandmother's...
I used to have 55 muscovy ducks back in the '90's. Some of them got sick and died and I never could find out what caused this. Called all the vets and any medical place I could find to call. (No internet back then). Anyway, I thought if I posted what happened to them someone on here would know...

I am new to the chicken/rooster thing and am so glad to have found this web site. Have already learned something tonight. Last month I had 3 new pets added to the family. A rooster named Barney and 2 hens named Wilma and Betty. Barney refuses to crow now and not sure why but at least Wilma and...
I never heard of a crop. They store their food in their breast area? Wow, learned something tonight already and thank you for the replies. I was worried they had some kind of cancer and were really sick since it was only on one side. I will pass this information on to the person who gave them to...
This is my first time to this website tonight and this is the first thread I read and I must say I am so happy Peanut is well and hooked on Peanut already. I was hoping for a happy ending and glad it had one. He is such a pretty Rooster and I never knew there were white fluffy ones. He is...
Hello and I am new to raising chickens. I just noticed today all 3 have a large lump on their right breast. They are eating, drinking, pooping and acting ok so any clues what it could be? They were born this year. Also, my rooster stopped crowing. I try to get him to crow by crowing at him but...
