    FLORIDA!!!!!ALWAYS SUNNY SIDE UP!!!

    Over the past 5 years, twice we've had a yote (not the same one) run through the yard. They were just passing through, and didn't stop, or stay on the property.

    I wouldn't disturb the nests, unless you collect the eggs to incubate. The leg issues are probably due to low Niacin. They require a little more niacin than chickens do. The frozen peas idea is good. When raising my duck, I was made aware of the importance of adding a little extra niacin...

    Welcome to Florida! It's an adjustment, but over time, it's very well worth it.

    If the vet wrap is a little bit too wide, trim it a little down the whole length, before wrapping. Don't get it too thin, but that helps so it's not too wide for smaller ducks.

    If you are using chicken feed, and yes I've done that, be sure to get a bottle of niacin, and crush the tablets into powder, then put a good pinch sprinkled over the feed. Ducks need more niacin than chickens do, and can develop leg issues if they don't get enough.

    It can take more time calming them down, so you can work with them, than it takes to do the actual wrapping, until they get used to it. Be patient. If possible, another set of hands wouldn't hurt either.

    If you're referring to Angel Wing, and only 1 wing is affected, push the wing into place close to her body, then wrap over that wing, across the top body, and under the other wing across the bottom of the body. Wrap it 3-4 times. Not too tight, but not loose enough that it will easily fall...

    It's doubtful that it would be safe for long. EVERYTHING eats chicken.

    We knew the entire area where I wanted to build my coop was low. I had clean, fine sand delivered first, and we put it where we were going to build the coop. Not in the surrounding area. Yes, the sand was expensive. We made it at least 1 1/2 foot deep with the sand. I then had clean fill...

    My coop is totally open, with fans. During the winter, when it drops to 50, or less, it usually rains to usher in the cold. I staple tarps to the outside of the coop section, which works just fine.

    We finally bought our first home. Better late than never, right? Got the stakes, and string all in place, so it's all squared up where we want to put the posts in for the coop. Went day before yesterday to buy a truckload of sand, which will be delivered Monday. After we get the sand spread...
