    What are your frugal and sustainable tips and tricks?

    I keep yogurt cups and reuse them as starter pots as long as they last. The way I see it it’s better to make use of the plastic rather than just sending it off to a landfill, I’m already buying the yogurt and I get a pot out of it rather than having to buy a pot on top of the yogurt. It also...

    Hen suddenly grumpy pants!! What gives?!?

    Quail personalities and behavior can shift dramatically due to the season and hormonal changes……… or it could mean you’ve achieved the highest level of quail bonding. Level 1: they fear you. Level 2: they’re okay with you as long as you don’t get too close or try to reach for them. Level 3...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    My first albino, at least I’m pretty sure that’s what it is. It’s a plum tree sprout, it’s pretty but not long for this world.

    Support Group for Abused Duck Keepers

    I’ve noticed that with my own ducks. Estella, Rosebud, Avis have a bad habit of wanting to follow squirrels off into the woods, and their reaction to my brother bringing his new puppy over was to approach the new puppy. Overall I’m not surprised anymore after the “friend” the ducks “adopted” in...

    Gender of two geese

    That does look like someone’s had the beginnings of some nest making activity there.

    "Jagged" Edges On Duck Webbing

    Some ducks and geese have longer scaling on the edges, it’s usually to protect the delicate edges of their webs, however those do look a bit long and after viewing the pic you provided on your other post about bumblefoot I have good news and bad news. The good news is your duck doesn’t have...

    Reminds me of the time my parents visited New Zealand. The summary of their vacation is that they left my geese and ducks and ended up hanging out with someone else’s geese and ducks for a week.

    Hen with spasm, lethargy following antibiotics/antifungal

    I’m so sorry for your loss, her last moments were knowing she was cared for which is what’s important, she’s at peace. Considering her symptoms and then this sudden deterioration it sounds like she had a serious condition that was untreatable.

    Everyone’s laying, the ducks, the geese, even some of the quail. As usual the drakes are on high alert for egg thieving and viciously defending those precious eggies from being stolen by me, except it’s pretty much the goose eggs that the drakes are protecting, not the duck eggs, they barely...

    Hen with spasm, lethargy following antibiotics/antifungal

    Has she been on probiotics? If not I would suggest getting her some. Did the vet do any blood work by any chance? Did they check to see if she has fluid accumulation in her abdomen? My guess is she has slow digestion, but that in itself is a symptom of something else. Her issues might stem...

    Pekin Duck Issue

    @Jenbirdee is right, this is a balance issue. Balance issues can be caused by diet or by a disease or physical disabilities with the nervous system or limbs. I had a duck who more or less always walked like he was drunk because of a congenital issue. What feed are they on by the way?
