Get a Marine Airhorn! We use them when I foster giant breed dogs in case there is a pack fight and somebody is alone. It will stop anything! This what I'm talking about...

The first thing you need to do is teach the dog the "Leave It!" command. Make sure it understands that command very well with even high value treats on the ground and it will leave them. Then you can begin training it with chickens. You can repeatedly walk by leashed, use the "Leave it" command...

Well, the weather people have been wrong all day in St. Charles County. We've had sprinkles twice but they were predicting bad storms, hail, and even tornadoes. I put grass seed out in a few spots and had hubby fertilize one pasture for use later in the year. We are in a terrible drought here...

Love it! LMBO

I'm not sure that geese in a neighborhood will make you any friends. We are on 24 acres and I can hear my geese at the middle of the next property LOL Loud noise doesn't bother me but when they get going, usually in the mornings, you can't talk loud enough for a person next to you to hear it...

Was this present from birth? If so it probably from egg position . You can get Mazuri Waterfowl starter feed from Chewy. You only want to feed it till 3-4 weeks old, then switch to Mazuri Maintenance feed till December. Then they go on Mazuri Waterfowl Breeder till the end of July each year. Get...

Have you tried letting her swim in the tub? I believe I remembered people using tums for egg bound ducks or chickens but not sure if they made them into a liquid fist. As far as being thin, if she survives this I'd deworm the whole flock. We deworm twice a year with Pour on Ivermectin for...

I doubt he's in pain. I'd give it more time. Young ducklings that have not been fed grit cannot digest non pelleted food yet very well. The best option is to give it Mazuri Waterfowl Starter Feed and supplement with Duravet Poultry Power Pack in the water daily. These are the two best things you...

We used sealed motor agricultural fans in their large barn pens for our ducks, not for flies but for extra ventilation since the big 12x12' pens are in converted predator proofed stalls. We mount the fans about 2 ft off the ground and they LOVE their fans in the Missouri heat and humidity in the...

2.5 years old is for giant breed dogs tat do not mature till then. A Maltese is fully mature at 1 year old and leaving it unfixed gives no additional health benefits and dramatically increases the chances of an unwanted mutt litter.

There's a number of articles saying that crop problems, especially if in more than one bird may indicate an intestinal parasite problem and that deworming can cure the crop issues. Just a thought.

You need to walk her only for 3 weeks. Do NOT put her out in an fenced area. Male dog WILL climb and dig to get to her. Right now even good breeders can't find homes for puppies and shelters are killing everything:( It's the worst I've seen in 30 years of helping rescues! After she's done with...

I have Geese and Ducks and I'd never put any goose in with any other ducks or chcikens. First of all they won't actually protect your chickens. The goose may be more passive to get along with your chickens, but she is going to run when a predator comes too. If she is a very aggressive goose then...

Did you pay online? Do they have it go through a secure processor? My Bitdefender antivirus won't let me use an unsecure processor.

Yes, it's only more liquid if you catch it really early. In the begnning if it's just secondary to a thick callus, it gets liquid similar to a blister under it. But once bacteria get in, it tends to look cheesy LOL Your wife is now an honorary Chicken Podiatrist! LOL

Won't that be closed at night? I guess it depends a lot on how hot it is where you are. When our days are over 100 degrees and the nights stay in the 80s, the ducks really drag. I've never lost a duck in the cold but lost a 6 month old duck on a very hot day, so I worry more about the heat.

Yes, and it gets very expensive, very quickly.

Our ducks and geese have their night pens inside my horse barn. I used to work at a small animal vet and we always played calm classical music in the kennels. We never had any barking unless we were feeding. I have a CD player that holds 5 discs and put it on when I bring them in at night. I...

Are you are Nextdoor.com ? If you post there that you need some welded wire fencing or hardware cloth, I bet somebody will have extra. We always have extra welded wire. It's not ideal for pen to be predator safe but it would be a start. Hardware Cloth is more expensive and people usually don't...

In the heat Botulism bacteria grows rapidly. Although the kiddie pool gets dirty, it's easy to empty and refill. Any time the it is hotter than about 93 degrees here, we empty the pools mid day and refill to prevent Botulism. Ducks are real work, there's no doubt, but they bring so much joy that...
