Grr, my naughty muscovies are being brats. They fly out of their area, which I wouldn' t mind, I would in fact love to start free ranging them, except, even though I have seven acres, they choose to walk across the back yard, all the way across the other yard we have - used to belong to my grandma but is ours now - across the road, and onto my neighbor's front yard. The neighbors don't mind since they also have poultry but I sure do. It's a slow road but I still don't like them crossing it, and I don't know why they won't just stay in the darn yard like all the other birds do. I don't know if clipping their wings would help, but I don't want to if I don't have to, I like the little extra predator protection of them being able to fly. I don't feel like I can let them out though because they go so far and I have to round them up and herd them all the way back and I'm not convinced they'd come back on their own. Yesterday they did but I think only because they heard me giving the other birds treats before I went to collect them.

Pyxis- my scovies do the same thing! Won't stay out of the road. I will hear cars honking and run out to shoo them back. My dog is getting to be a decent herder at this rate (and he has no herd dog in his breeding). I've been working with him to help me 'direct' those goofballs back to my acreage . . . last year I lost 5 ducks to the road. I was lucky nobody sued or complained to the township. And my girls wings are clipped. My boys are the instigators - the girls just follow.

So just over the past couple of days one of my drakes has had tiny white bubbles/foam around one of his eyes..any guesses what that could be from? I've rinsed it out well several times but it keeps coming back
