This duckling appears to have a spine problem. I don't know yet if it's male or female, probably be able to voice sex soon. It mostly has its tail tucked under as in the pictures and separated itself from the group often. Nobody picks on it. It rarely says it's tail or lifts it up. I feed...
I just stopped in to TSC to pick up some Durvet B complex. They told me (remember these are TSC employees) that they had replaced Durvet with the Aspen brand. This is what I found on the shelves, Aspen brand injectable B for cattle. Guys, it has NO Niacin. Don't let them sell it to you.
Quatro my drake has a very small penis. It is about the size of a phone charger wire. Also he doesn't seem to know what to do with it. Will it get larger with age? He was peeled out of calcium prison on Nov 11. He's a big boy
Hi, I usually hang out on the duck forum but I have a friend who had a pair of parakeets fly into his shop. He bought them a cage and keeps them as companions in his shop. The issue is, they are a pair. Have already hatched one clutch and are sitting on another and he is getting overrun with...
Have I forgotten since August (my last batch) or are these ducklings really big for two weeks? They were two weeks yesterday. Totally fearless, no axe murderer stage, chase the dog and cats around the brooder, run to me and don't eat meal worms.
They are 12 inches tall.
This is them at one week
My Gander Natasha who was bought as a sexed goose, has gone sexually crazy. I have had this with a drake before but not with a gander. My little goose is all bloody. I have separated him from Natasha. But it's almost fall and Natasha was very sweet just days ago. Do you think there is...
Sigh, my adopted goose has Angel wing in both wings. I have tried wrapping him but his friends pick it off in just a few minutes. I think he is too old now as his blood feathers are coming in. Should I keep trying or resign myself to funny looking goose. When wrapped he flips around and has...
This is exactly how I found one of my duck hens, just was to surprised to make a picture. I figured he was waiting for a warm egg.

Guys, I am starting to think Natasha might be Nathan. When I had the other goose pair, the female was fairly quiet and oinked instead of honked. Also, the female had lobes. Natasha has not developed lobes and she honks. She is 4 months old. I am a novice with geese. Any advice?
Don't waste your money. I lost my gander, my drake and now my two little ducks. I just mowed under it, reinforced it and tested. Something got in somehow and ate my babies. I am losing at the same rate as free range.
I am ten days in on two eggs from my drake that got eaten. I have a visable heartbeat in one egg but not the other. Do you think it's a quitter or should I wait longer. It definitely has veins and a fetus but no heartbeat.
How long will I need drake jail? I am a first time drake owner and I have George in drake jail most of the day. Others talk about breeding season but can anyone give me an idea when I can let him out? He is a terror right now to all but his duck hen. I have two coops so it has not been an...
I have a crested duck for the first time and boy is she loud. She scream quacks constantly. All the others only do so when they think I have Mealworms or are coming to murder them. They have quiet quacks around the water bowl. I call this the Coffee clatch quack. The medium quack for we've...
Can geese get Angel wing? Natasha's flight feathers started coming in last week. I noticed today that the tip of her wing, the part you would chop off if you were eating chicken wings, was sticking out. I will get a picture tomorrow.
I was getting ready to order some for the new peepers. I was overcome by the amounts and descriptions. Does anyone know what debittered means? Is there anything in particular I should be looking for in ingredients. I thought I knew what I was doing, but each time I think I know less than the...
