Who’s drakes are hormonal?
Yesterday I had peace in my flock. This morning I had peace in my flock. I let the ducks out and there was peace for about an hour. And then a red haze settled over my drakes and my usually sweet Truffle has decided to try and murder his brother Bramble and hasn’t let up even into the night…... -
Duck fraud
Scammers have no shame, it’s funny how outraged they get when caught though. -
Duck fraud
I saw something similar a few years back, someone selling Chinese cross geese as “French Toulouse” for a very high price. I tried explaining that they’re mixes but she was indignant and swore up and down that they were purebred “French Toulouse” and I didn’t know what I was talking about, that... -
[Help] Duck got a cold
She might have something brewing but it’s hard to say. You could try vetrx on her breast and apple cider vinegar in her water to clear her sinuses. If she worsens I would suggest an antibiotic but for now symptomatic treatment and keeping an eye on it would be best. -
Pilgrim goose behavior

Individual variation in sensitivity to light for seasonal laying?

Administering charcoal to wild duck
If you’re extremely careful and wear long gloves, protective covering, and different shoes you could try to help them, treat it like a hazmat situation, but it’s a long and difficult commitment and there’s no guarantees you won’t expose your flock to a deadly contagion. It really sucks... -
Has anyone ever had a chicken that seemed like one that had previously passed, possible reincarnation.
I’m sorry for your loss, Bunny must have been a very sweet soul and wherever she is I’m sure she knows how much she is loved and loves you too. Please don’t take what I’m about to say to you too harshly though. There is nothing angelic, holy, or spiritual in Ai whatsoever. All Ai is, is...- Goosebaby

Administering charcoal to wild duck
For the sake of your own ducks I would not handle a wild bird with an unknown disease, especially as you described that other wild ducks have been dying at the pond. It could be botulism but if that’s the case activated charcoal only does so much, he would need to see a vet and be given the... -
