They're everywhere in the wild here in Florida so there's no worries about the heat here.

They are my hinnies, product of my Muscovy hen & Silver Appleyard drake. Two are drakes and one hen. Their size and vocalizations came from the mom's side.

Well I wouldn't go as far as to say I wouldn't worry about them going further after bathing. Muscovy's do have a tendency to want to wander and even fly away if you don't keep them clipped. I could easily imagine a Muscovy going down to a creek forging nearby taking a dip to clean off and then...

You already have the perfect answer but just add from someone in Florida where our weather gets extremely hot, I have a Muscovy hen that bathes two or three times in a seven day week. You can easily let the water go that long in a kiddie pool before you have to refill it again. Also you don't...

Thank you @MarlaMac , I'll take a look at the articles. She has a limp, but the previous owner said she thought it was because of having too many roosters, and this hen was the favorite (her back is bald, but she is getting new pin feathers now). She doesn't roost in my coop, and I don't know if...

Hen is approx 4-5 years old. Breed unknown I obtained her ~ 2 weeks ago I picked her up today for some cuddles and felt something hard. I flipped her over and saw this. Is it possible for a chicken to get bumble on there stomachs?

These 1-year-old roosters are still needing a home if anyone is interested. Born 04/28/2023 https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/florida-always-sunny-side-up.305793/post-27295834

Going to link my post when my Muscovy hen attacked her mate (Silver Appleyard drake) when she was broody...Warning ⚠️ graphic photos in the post. Thread 'Daffy brutally attacks Daisy (Warning: Graphic Pictures)'...

That looks too low for it to be due to mating... unfortunately I can't offer any other ideas as to why she has that injury. Something could have grabbed her, it could have been a squabble within pecking order, she could have gotten too close to a hen that's broody. Muscovy's while broody can be...

I am staying in contact with the owner and advising her every step of the way. She is appreciative and apologetic that I must "deal" with this. No worries on my end though, just worried about the hen and her well-being. I will discuss with the owner tomorrow to determine if she wants to go the...

04/08 PM Check-up: Hen is holding steady; when I reached in to get her for her treatment tonight, she fluttered up and attempted to perch on a low (extremely low) roost bar in the nursery that I am keeping her in, but she's so unbalanced she can't stay still on it. Tonight, I did 1. 2 cup Epsom...

Is the Calcium Cluconate I already have greater, equal to, or not as good as the Calcium Citrate w/ D3? Also, here is what I have in my first aid kit for my ducks...will any of this help in the situation?

I went back and found a old photo I took of her on May 20th which shows her rear end looking like it does now and I am noticing that her legs are not the same color as they are now @Wyorp Rock Picture taken. 05/20/2023

What mg strength per tablet? I am finding multiple versions.

04/08 Update: She is still alive and alert this morning. Still sitting in the same spot, though. I gave her food & water this morning, but she showed no interest. I left it directly in front of her so she didn't have to get up to get any. I'm including what her poop looked like this morning and...

Unknown age Found today in between a hay bale and sidewall Walks like she's drunk Feels like she has a water balloon under her near her vent, the area feels hot to the touch When I sit her down she slowly lowers herself in a roost position and then rolls over onto her side Seems to be breathing...

Made from 3ft tall 4" PVC pipe with two 45° angles to create the "J" part & holds 14 lbs of food each.

Miss Lydia is correct. The way I was suggesting would make it where no one would be alone but at the same time separating the drake and the one he is picking on into separate groups

Another suggestion would be put the drake with 4 females and put the one that's taking brunt of things with the remaining two and keep them as a separate flock for a bit. Your drake should turn his attention to one of the females he's with and it will give your poor girl a break. It also allows...

Six months ago, I finally bit the bullet and purchased three of my dream ducks (Welsh, Appleyard, & Blue Swedish hens). The only remaining ones I want are a Magpie hen and a Saxony drake. Unfortunately, I won't be able to get my Saxony drake until I lose my 1st Gen drakes. I am with Canadian...
