    Mud bathing duck?

    Is it normal for my duck to be mud bathing? She does it even when there's clean water right beside her. She deliberately spits water into a little hole she dug and just shoves her face into it. Khaki Campbell. Also the only duck I have that does this.

    Limping duck, I don't know what to do

    About 10 days ago, out of the blue, my 1.5 year old Swedish blue hen started limping & didn't want to put much weight on her right leg. I did a quick bumblefoot inspection & didn't see anything alarming. I've never dealt with bumblefoot before, but after lurking here for a few years, I do think...

    Ivermectin Pour On on Dogs?

    I use Ivermectin Pour-On for mites and lice on my birds. I was wondering, can I use it for dogs? What would be the dosage? I was going to buy a flea collar for my new LGD, but if Ivermectin works, I can use that since I have it on hand. Also, does anyone use SafeGuard dewormer for horses on...

    The Hunt for Mystery Predator

    So I have had the occasional predator come through my electric fence and kill something. The first time it was something that came in and took off the heads of 6 quail. I realized it was because I left a tree standing that was accessible from the other side of the fence. I removed that tree and...

    Duck arching neck and walking backwards..??

    Hey y’all. This is a behavior I’ve noticed a couple times now in my newest duck, Blanca, but it starts and ends faster than I can get my phone out to take a photo / video. I believe it’s happening while she’s preening, or about to preen. She arches her neck underneath her body and walks...

    Please help! What are these, and are they male or female?

    My (VERY) thoughtful son dropped off 6 ducks for Father’s Day. He felt that since we were doing well with the chickens he gifted us last year, the ducks would be the same. Thank you son. 🙄 These ducks were purchased from Tractor Supply. The tag only said “ducks” and a price. They are supplied...

    Seagull's Flock Thread

    Howdy there! I'll be putting together the thread throughout the next few weeks, but this first post is to give you a run down of the flock. I let them decide who they want to associate themselves with, so the dynamic of the flock is a little odd. I REPEAT, they choose who they branch off with...
