Thanks, I can pick some up. His vent area looks a lot better after a few soaks, but who knows how long it had been swollen before then. Tbh between some of his other missing feathers and his weight I wasn't thinking of a prolapse at first either, but seeing the difference between now and a few...

Hello, everyone. Hope you're all well. Still undecided on what to do with my new drake. I will say that after a few good soaks/preens he looks quite a bit better in terms of feather quality and everything. He was even feeling good enough to give me a bit of a chase when I was putting him up...

It sounds cute now but that'll wear off in a month or two when I've been left to be the sole caretaker! My nephew was only around yesterday because he got kicked out of kindergarten with 3 days left in the school year! At the very least I figure I'm going to treat the bumble before making a...

My girls would be able to outrun him. I doubt the boys would even try though. It would just be a giant mosh pit. That is one thing I was thinking about though. Admittedly I'm not particularly knowledgeable when it comes to chickens, but I have a hard time imagining this guy catching one. It...

Hello everyone! Hope you've all had a nice week so far. Came into possession of a new drake yesterday courtesy of fellow BYC member @R2elk. Great guy if you've never had the chance to speak with him on here before. Bob raises some beautiful birds (turkey, chicken, guinea) and grows his own...

Hello everyone! Happy Mother's Day! Hope you all have a fantastic day.

I posted this one on here a couple weeks back. Here's a few more I just took.

Hello everyone. The 4 ducklings I got this year are all Rouen. I've only had them about 8 weeks though.

Hello everyone. Just doing some yardwork here. This year's ducklings joined me outside today. They'll already be 6 weeks in just a few days! 3 girls so I'm pretty happy.

Hello everyone! There's a bucket sale today (20% off everything you can fit in 5-gallon bucket) at Murdoch's if you have one nearby. Filled mine up with a bunch of duck treats and garden supplies. Got some snow here again, so it'll probably be a lazy day watching the NBA playoffs for me, but...

Well, no ducklings yet, but I almost immediately got a person trying to rehome 3 1-year old drakes that are beating another drake and a lone female up pretty bad. I'll probably take them if I can't help the poster find someone else to do it.

Hello there, everyone. Hope you're all having/had a nice Friday! I got permission to put up an ad/PSA about dumped ducklings in a big 'Lost N Found' pet group, so we'll see how well it's received. I made sure to throw a picture of these charming ladies in for good measure.

Hello everyone! Can't tell you how happy I am the snow is finally gone! I've been enjoying pulling weeds way too much the last couple of days. Later I'm going to plant a bag of this 'Chickenmax forage seed mixture' I picked up. Hopefully it'll grow nice and the ducks like it. Going to be a...

Happy Easter! Saw the foxes again this morning. One of them was carrying a big bird, couldn't tell if it was somebody's chicken or something wild. Will definitely have to keep my ducks supervised. Fortunately, the snow is melting fast enough to do some work in the yard. Should be a nice day!

Hello everyone! Must have jinxed myself yesterday. Caught a couple foxes playing around and sniffing dog tracks in the horse pasture this morning; probably 20-30 yards from the girl's coop. Cute things, a shame to chase them off.

I dream about foxes getting into my coops a lot. Always have to get up and take a peek lol.

This one hit me deep lol. I can't tell you how many times I've already regretted not making a wider entrance. Hauling sludge bucket by bucket out of the pond and through the pen seriously sucks!

I'm in Wyoming, so you'll find more rednecks than hillbillies, but I'm familiar with the line of thought. You'll find a lot of people with a good deal of respect for wildlife and the environment, it's one of the main reasons people move here, but I've also been told by my redneck brother and...

That's unfortunate. I think a lot of the poor things just get disregarded too. Many people don't realize how poorly equipped domestic ducks are to survive on their own; they just think "a duck's a duck". I still have family members who act surprised when I tell them for the tenth time my ducks...

Hello everyone. My town has a pretty active 'Lost and Found pets" page on Facebook. I rescued a duck that had been posted on there last year. Will probably make an ad soon encouraging people not to dump their ducks, or report any they see around town. Might be worth checking out if there's...
