@BelovedBirds how are your girls doing? Has she laid again since Monday? Continued thoughts and prayers for you and your girls ❤️

Just in case anyone is interested, I asked if they could tell what was in the intruders diet and upon inspection of the scat, lots of earwig and a roach was discovered. A Google search says that skunk scat has blunt ends. Maybe because they were possibly young it was different? Interesting...

Actually, it's multiple skunks. Four to be exact!!! I asked if they were babies or juveniles and was told one was big'ish and the others were small'ish. Wow! Edited to add: I may be mistaken on the number. Three have been taken care of so I'm not sure if it was three or four.

It was a skunk!!! It squeezed it's way in and got another egg while it was still light out. It's been taken care of and the point of break-in is being addressed, as well as any other possible points of unwanted intruder entry. Thank you all so much for your time and input. It's greatly appreciated!

Or does this look like a curious duck or chicken?

Does this poop help identify the intruder? It didn't bother the birds, just broke open some eggs and left behind a "personal" gift 🙄 Intruder can't be much larger than a squirrel but the poop is fairly big. This happened in Virginia. Thank you for your time

What breed is she? She quacks loudly like your other ducks?

Does your rooster have any swelling or just limping? I'm so sorry your rooster is having issues. My boy, Kitty, has had articular gout for a while now. I've found that he gets around easier if allowed to free range every day, but his joints seem better if he's kept in a run. Go figure 🤷🏻‍♀️

Congratulations on your new little ducklings 😍 Absolutely adorable!!! Great hatch too!

Any chance you have a vet that will run a fecal float to check for internal parasites? Have you checked her over really well for lice and mites (best done well after dark using a headlamp)?

I've got several roosters. Some jerks and some amazing. In my experience, the roosters that I didn't try to handle anymore than necessary turned out to be the most amazing boys. The ones that were held and given a lot of attention turned into jerks. The next person might say the opposite but...

That is too funny! My big duck's absolute favorite goodies include earthworms and minnows. Actually my bigs and littles go a bit crazy over earthworms. Oddly enough, they've never been a fan of peas, like most ducks I've read about. I've only got one duck, out of around a couple dozen, that...

I'm way behind on this thread but I wanted to ask how you're giving the tablet? Not trying to critique you or anything like that. I've had to give Honey BooBoo so much medication and it took a while to find what works best for us. Of course as you know all too well that what works for one...

Thank you. That's what Mare just told me but she asked me to make sure on here 😊

A year ago one of my Call Ducks went broody and hatched out 6 little ducklings. Believe it or not, all six are drakes 😵 Imagine my worry and hesitation whenever I found that she's decided that she's going to sit again. She's been locked up with a different drake for 5 weeks now and to be honest...

I'm sorry to read about your precious ducks laying troubles. Like many others, I've been in your shoes with my Pekin over the past year and a half to two years. I've almost decided that my ducks shell gland just isn't functioning anymore. I continue to feed a layer feed because my Buff duck is...
