Hi! I just got a 8 month old hen about a week or so ago (to replace my hen Luna who died in Nov. of an ear infection) and she (my flyer, who I named Piper) does not trust me and does not want to go into the coop in the evening. I have held off feeding them (I used to just wait for the others...

Anyone in NH or northern MA or eastern VT with a healthy muscovy hen you'd part with? I am just looking for the one hen. Thanks! Rebecca

Anyone know the dosing for ivermectin pour-on when the concentration is 5mg per ml? I have a 6 pound duck.

Wondering if any of you hav tried using azomite with the deep litter method? Will it likely kill the bacteria that needs to be happening below?

Hi! It's been a while since I've posted or read anything. Sorry about that. Been busy campaigning for a presidential candidate. Up until yesterday everything with my 1.5 year old ducks had been fine but when I went to let my 3 muscovy's out of their coop in the AM, the one hen, Luna, clearly...

Do duck blood tail feathers heal once broken? I really cannot pull this out on my own and have no one to help. I washed it yesterday - very traumatic! To catch her, I had to trick her by opening the coop, which she loves to go into and spend time (normally free range with that door closed)...

I don't know what is going on but my (one) muscovy drake sees me and immediately (every time) either comes after me (if I am outside nearby) or he goes after one of the 2 hens and mates. They seem afraid of ME because they know if he sees me, he'll be coming after them. One of the hens sees me...

Hi all, my muscovy hens Luna and Fern lay one egg a day between them and when I go to take Fern off of it each AM (as she would sit, if I let her), the egg looks a bit worse for the wear. Here is a pic and my question is the following: With it being scratched and battered looking (I think she...

My drake has an area on the back of his neck, near his back that is very red, irritated and there is feather loss with a strange look to the skin (perhaps the skin would be considered normal if not so red). I will try to send a couple pics. He doesn't really seem to be bothered by it though he...

And yet my three decimated all the leaves on my alliums and they didn't bloom. Anyone else have their ducks eat the leaves on allium (onion family)?

Anyone think this will be good? Chicken Mite Treatment Spray 20 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed (or 1 oz garlic extract) 45 drops eucalyptus essential oil* 30 drops lavender essential oil* 30 drops peppermint essential oil* 20 drops cinnamon...

Does a butt check work on ducks to determine laying capacity? My two muscovy females still not laying...?They are free range except for night when they're in the coop and I have been feeding layer feed which they seem less interested in than the maintenance feed. I've noticed they are pretty...

I was under the impression that ducks do not have a sphincter but now that my two muscovy hens have built a beautiful share nest they keep it totally clean. No poop or pee. They are in the coop for over 12 hours at night and do not poop at all! They must have control to do this or perhaps it...

My formerly very large muscovy drake seems to be loosing a lot of weight. He has plenty of food offered but also seems to be eating less. Is this normal in winter? Perhaps he's getting ready to molt, as it is starting to warm up considerably here in NH.

I don't feel prepared for the temps coming up next weekend in NH. It seems the predictions for 2 - 3 days in a row are frigid temps as low as -15F (overnight and for 20+ hours and then only getting in the low single digits for most of the next day - at least another 14 hours) if the predictions...

My drake and 2 hens were all flying regularly and periodically during the day. Each AM they would take off for a few yards as they came out of their coop. I think to stretch their wings after a long night inside the coop. They rarely fly anymore and now it is more of a flop flying, to get up...

Slow motion and lovely music

Seriously! I wish I'd've had a camera. Have any of you seen yours fly really fast and swim (feet in water) at the same time? My drake swam/flew (at the same time) really fast down stream and then upstream without stopping, as if water skiing or running on the surface of the water...the whole...

Has anyone tired this? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00416S4YS/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_10?smid=A2TI5WR4CT30H3&th=1 I feed outside the fenced in run and lately have an issue with one very persistent squirrel. Maybe good to deter mice too...?
