We just lost our Silky who was 11 1/2 years old. Just went in her sleep. Her sibling who is a frizzle is still going. Have two 11 year old Faverolles and two 8 year old Australorps. Nobody seems interested in killing anybody despite most of them being way past the expected ages for their...

I saw this suggested on another site by someone to add to the diet and as my goose has very little access to grass at the moment I wondered if this was actually a good idea? Have attached ingredients list to see if there is anything in there I can’t give a goose? im not having much luck...

this is the original ones. Just have one male left now. They are pretty extreme but the breeder has taken out national titles so I’m guessing that’s the standard they breed to here. I wouldn’t breed them myself but am quite attached to our crazy things.

Little update - 3 more were dropped off which took the tally to 14 but I found a couple native bird rescue volunteers who also love pigeons that have taken the 10 Older ones. She is crop feeding trained so much better equiped to get them onto the seed. So I’ve just got the four smallest who I...

I actually did a few years ago but got so many rude comments about my pigeons I gave up 😬. I had some really fancy ones that were going to be culled by a national champion breeder as pets. They are like fan tails but bred with the head so far back they look like they are headless when they...

Only gets to about 3-6c here overnight thankfully! babies are eating ok but I’m having no luck with the older ones. Must admit feel like I’ll choke them sticking a whole pea in there 🙀 but I’ll give a try 😬 thanks!!

They were removing an asbestos roof from a building in town and there were a bunch of baby wild pigeons Two options are euthanasia so they don’t starve or I feed. 🤷‍♀️ I did feed one years ago for about a week till mum and dad got the idea (fancy breed they don’t normally let raise own young)...

Yeah not sure if the sight will come back or not in the eye. Fingers crossed. it’s funny. I spent most of my life scared of the geese at this park but she’s so friendly and sweet. Rethinking my whole geese stereotype!

Does the hay have to be chopped up fine or anything? Sunday here so pet store hay only. They have meadow, lucerne and oat?

Our animal rescue has ended up with a goose with an injured eye. I’m treating that with antibiotic ointment and anti inflammatory drops. I’ve never had a goose before. I keep chickens but I had a spare pen while we are treating it so she ended up with me. I don’t have easy access to grass for...

They are seperate from my chickens but that’s good to know I’ll be very vigilant about keeping it that way. Trying to seperate is a bit of a nightmare to be honest 🤦‍♀️ I’m just not set up for it this just being temporary. I’ve left the two dog crates in there and they’ve put themselves to bed...

I’ve just picked up two Male ten month old Muscovy ducks to foster till rehomed. As I picked up the guy mentioned for the first time they fight 🤦‍♀️ I’ve only got one house. Can’t seperate. I think they would have been quite stressed where they were. Would that be behind the fighting or can...

haha No they came named duck,duck and goose actually :D And they have both found a new home already! Lady coming to adopt them tomorrow! They wont know themselves. They were being kept inside on a lino floor, now they will be going to a property with a dam and other ducks and geese. Happy...

THank you both! Ill just put them up as unsexed then. Thanks again!

Hi weve just had these two 8 week old ducks surrendered to us and Im just wanting to check I advertise them as the correct thing. I think they may be muscovy ducks? Does that look right from the photo? Is there an easy way to sex them at this age?

Hi Guys!! Long time no see! Quick question about ducks. I do a lot of work with animal rescue but that’s normally dogs and cats and I’ve only got chickens. Someone wants to surrender 2 x eight week old ducks (Muscovy I think?) Should we be Worming? What food should they be on? Anything else I...

Hi guys, question for the quail owners. If you were to find a quail would you bother trying to find its owner or as they all kinda look alike would you just go straight to rehoming it?

Cool you can be our test pilot to see if it works :plbb

Hey guys long time no see! Hope everyone and their feathered friends are well! Just popping in to share this that came up in my Facebook feed. Will be an interesting read re the rooster! Some great info in the new Australasian Poultry magazine. An urban contributor has trained her Light...

For the first time for as long as I can remember I heard the egg song and we had eggs in the nest box :wee.
