Last year in may one of my geese, consumed a washer and bolt/screw. She was rushed to the vet when she became lethargic and thus started chelation therapy. Within about a month and a half she successfully passed the metal and was back to being happy/healthy. I was wondering if anyone has any...
She is one years old and she’s a duck. She usually eats Manna pro duck feed, but she’s been eating tomatoes and eggs as her main meals lately.
I believe she’s having trouble laying eggs because she’s gotten too fat. It’s likely unhealthy for her, so I’d like to help her however I can, but I’m...
Hello,
The other day I was having a conversation with one of my friends who also has chickens. We both used different methods to prevent mites and parasites on our chickens. So out of curiosity im curious what everyone else uses with there flock.

I want to give it to my duck as a tasty treat, but I’m worried it might not actually be safe. I’ve read articles saying it’s safe, but many articles say it’s safe to eat grapes and some other foods for certain animals when it can actually be rather dangerous. It isn’t a well known fact, but some...

For context, I used to have a mixed sex flock, but recently gave away all my girls and kept the boys.
Now, after a few days with no girls, my drakes seem to be... flirting with each other? They’ve been head-bobbing at each other like crazy! Way more than when the girls were still around. I’ve...

We bought her nutritional yeast yesterday and gave her water, but we don’t know whether we’re supposed to let her walk and play like usual or if resting more will help her recover. We’ll also cook some niacin rich foods for her to help her get better quickly, but other than that, is there any...
Hello random internet people, my name is pok! To you I'm a random internet person too but I'm hoping that one of you will be able to help me.
