I'll definitely look into this- thanks! They make such a mess with the smaller bowls that are designed for chickens.

Can anyone recommend a large heated waterer that would be better suited for geese & ducks? Last winter I had such a challenging time with my geese splashing all the water out of my small heated chicken water bowl. Looking for other ideas for this winter....something maybe that holds more...

Anyone near Volusia County, FL? I am in search of an adult hen duck for my Indian runner duck hen...she recently lost her sister and is quite lonely. I’m open to different breeds.

Can you add me please? I’m in Volusia County.

That’s so sad. I fully support rescuing animals whenever possible. I hate going through breeders. Did you end up taking your birds to a vet to get checked for diseases?

Good to know. I am in Florida so I’ll have to check that out. TY!

I’ve thought about it, but I’m concerned about bringing disease or illness into my coop by bringing in an outsider. Plus I don’t have the slightest idea on where to look for one. It seems like craigslist is full of poorly raised animals that people are trying to dump off and make $. Indian...

Maybelles sister is definitely lost without her. They were inseparable. Now she tries to keep up with the geese, but they really don’t want much to do with her. It’s sad to watch her in the yard. She just wants to hang with someone and they’re just not into her.

Thank you:hugs

Thank you

Thank you very much

Thank you so much

This was her last night watching the sunset.

UPDATE: Maybelle has passed away We went through an entire pouch of tube feed formula and even bought another bag of it on Friday at vets office. Maybelle was literally feathers and bones. She lost all muscle mass and every day she became weaker and weaker. She was not pooping any of her food...

Have you had to euthanize any birds before? I’ve heard some vets have more barbaric methods than others.

I have the 2 runner ducks & 2 geese. I raised them all together since day 1. I’ve developed such a close bond with my girls. Maybelle does look very observant. She’s always been my best egg layer. If you’ve never tried runner duck eggs- they’re the best! They don’t have that “gamey” taste that...

X-rays showed pneumonia. Vet initially thought she was egg bound, but there were no issues with her lower half. He said pneumonia could have been caused by a more serious underlying disease.

Part of me thinks that some of her organs are just not functioning the way they should anymore, therefore nothing is being digested properly. I can only go off the X-rays from last Thursday and what the vet said. It sure is frustrating. We raised chickens/turkeys when I was a kid in Michigan and...

She is drinking on her own. She just won’t eat her regular layer feed, so I’ve had to tube feed her. She will only freely eat snacks like crickets, worms, and peas.
