Yes, thanks for letting us know.

Wow! That is interesting and concerning. It sounds from the nail cutting that you have muscovy. I wonder if you cut their nails for your sake rather than their need. How do you check their ears? I wonder if there is a technique that needs to be followed. Have you tried a dose (or 2) of...

Why not try Hanzel and Grettle technique with what they like leading up the ramp. Usually if you get one going they follow suit. That is except for this new girl of mine! A real maverick she is!

I refuse to chase her. Because she flies so well and high, I just as soon let her stay outside, than run after her. I also believe if I do that, it will erode any trust she may develop. There is not a single treat she will come to. Does not care about mealy worms or peas. My other two love...

I finally had to give up my muscovy and when I rehomed him he did fine at first. Then reverted to the same behavior with the rescue farm caretaker. He was rehomed a second time with a gal who had a hen. They loved each other but shortly thereafter both disappeared. No matter what I tried...

Hi! I just got a 8 month old hen about a week or so ago (to replace my hen Luna who died in Nov. of an ear infection) and she (my flyer, who I named Piper) does not trust me and does not want to go into the coop in the evening. I have held off feeding them (I used to just wait for the others...

Anyone in NH or northern MA or eastern VT with a healthy muscovy hen you'd part with? I am just looking for the one hen. Thanks! Rebecca

I'll bet. I did not even think to check my hen Luna's ears. She was the swimmer too. Wish I had but will know better if need be.

Yes but what I wonder is how likely it is for ducks to get ear infections, as I've never heard of that and I assume their ears are made for lots of water in them since they dive in and dip in (splashing as they come up) so often.

No but that would mean 10 mg of ivermectin per 1 ml and I don't know if they have that. I think I can find the syringe though and if so will do the topical, as I think that will be easier. She's VERY wild (good survival instinct!) and I have not yet given her anything orally.

I took her to the vet (too expensive) and he said she may have lice or mites that did not show up on a skin scraping but her flight feathers are totally a mess - no down, nothing on the brackets. Just bare twigs where her feathers should be. She also comes out of the coop every so often with...

Thank you. Still trying to determine what took her, just so I can be aware of that potential if it ever happens again.

Ok, great! Thanks for that. The local store has that pour-on. Do pharmacies sell the measurer?

Ok, wasn't sure about the % or strength of the ivermectin.

So, another vet suggested that my duck may have had an ear infection. Anyone hear (sorry for the pun) of that and had a duck lose it's balance (and then die of) to an ear infection?

Anyone know the dosing for ivermectin pour-on when the concentration is 5mg per ml? I have a 6 pound duck.

Apologies not needed. Hope you find your answers.

You use pine shavings instead of hay or straw? How deep is it? You say they scooch down into it but as they get lower, they are getting near the wet area, no?

I wonder if you are asking for ducks or chickens. The pic looks like the later. I have assumed ducks are different and I started this thread to determine if deep litter even works with ducks, because the smell might knock you (and the ducks) out, if you don't do it right.
