Sheesh. I've frequented other groups since I left here and don't remember it being like this here. Everything wrong with a duck can apparently be treated with niacin, and I'm an idiot for thinking otherwise. Feather loss, bill discoloring, sinus infections, bumble foot, wry neck, wry tail...

I'm going to be away from BYC for a good while and didn't want to just disappear without saying anything. I've disabled all my email notifications other than for PM, but you can PM me if you'd like my personal email address. I don't want to post it here since there are a lot of bots on the...

A vine to a magical place if you're up to climbing it.

Short and sweet, and I agree.

BUNNY!!!

Thank you, Julie, and yes, her name was where my nick came from many years ago, 16 or 17 years ago. Jade hadn't been herself for a while, months. She couldn't keep her balance, and she had a hard time eating until we adjusted her feeding situation. The vet thought it was possible she'd had a...

My hubby isn't fond of chickens, so I'm trying to entice him. I might have to give all of you his cell number so you can call him and say, "Must have Silkies, must have Silkies..."

Yes, that one is a roo. His name is Socrates, and he's not mine. He's a show bird and his owner Stephanie keeps him indoors mostly to keep him in pristine condition. I showed Scott a pic of him a while back and he said, "What is that thing? A tribble?"

If you mean the one I posted, they mostly don't. That's a house chicken.

If I might go off-topic, here we go...

It makes complete sense. I've had Persian cats most of my adult life. The reason I was off BYC for the first week was that work went crazy, and the reason I was away after that on the very day I intended to come back is that my sweet blue Persian kitty Jade that I'd had for more than 18 years...

Oh my gosh. I didn't even thing to ask about his leg. That was dumb. Did you find him in a local pond/lake?

LOL. So what do you do with those? (When you say "bulls," I'm assuming you mean the bovine type.)

Hey Patty! We give ours corn in the cold weather, though they usually won't touch it. Probably because they're not used to it. Some of the higher-end breeders say you can mix in cat kibble, but what @Miss Lydia recommends is probably just as good if not better. The food she mentioned looks...

My goodness. I would never have thought some of this stuff was available OTC.

With ducks, you eliminate broken eggs the minute you find them. Allowing it even once can be problematic from then on out.

Beautiful stuff, and I thought we were talking only about ducks. It doesn't really matter if it's also chickens. Cousins are usually okay, but you really need to get another line mixed in if you're going to breed. Next year in a first generation should be fine.

I LOVE JULIE!!! (But so does everyone.) It does in the ones that survive it. There really isn't such a thing as good line breeding over many generations. You get less and less vitality in the lines because of the undesirable recessives, and that's the least of what can go wrong. It's the...

I would separate him at the very least if you want to keep them together, and I would not let them back in contact unless you're there to supervise. We have a duck right now that has a neck injury that's never going to completely heal, though it's better than it was. That was a mating injury...

Been there. I cut those conversations off very early on unless I'm in the mood for some amusement. That's why I grill my potential buyers and either give them my address or tell them it's best if they look elsewhere.
