    Chickens can play dead when hunted

    Omg now I'm thinking "please don't let me have ever buried a live chicken" 😳😥. I'm glad they let you know before it was too late. That's nerve wracking. I'll never be able to bury one again without thoroughly examining them. Which I do anyway, but now I'll be extra worried. Thanks for the...

    Muscovy drake not moving much

    Can't get to a vet, I don't think there's an avian vet close by. I checked for bumblefoot, and he has 2 little cuts on his one toe, but they aren't swollen and don't look like bumblefoot. And they are real small little places. Not even scabbed over. He won't stand at all. He is not very...

    Muscovy drake not moving much

    I know this has been asked, but I can't seem to find the answer im looking for. One of our Muscovy drake's isn't using his leg at all. When he walks, or tries to, he uses one leg and wings mostly. I don't think it's broken, or I didn't feel anything that felt broken, but I know he's hurt. I...

    I really hope y'all know just how greatly appreciated y'all are. I love my flock, they are my babies, and there's been times where I didn't know if we were gonna loose somebody or what was gonna happen, and the only thing that saved them was y'all and this very special group. I don't think the...

    Thank you sponsors! This website is so helpful and everyone is so nice. I feel like I have so many questions when something goes a wry, andi can always come to BYC and know, without a doubt, that somebody here will know what to do or why it's even happening. There is so much feathery...

    But so wonderful. Lol so smart, beautiful, funny and just so much fun to watch. I love my scovies. Mr scovy, the dominate male is hilarious but hates me the most...well out of the drake's anyway. His lovely main lady, mo scovy, has the biggest attitude for such a little lady. She looks at...

    She is very determined. I can assure you, she will fly over the fence. I was talking to the guy that owns the feed store, and he said he has the same issue with 3 of his Muscovy hens. He said 2 are nesting at home now, and the other 3 are somewhere on a hidden nest. I'm wondering if Muscovy...

    Redness on the back of my drake's neck

    Good morning miss Lydia! I hope you and your flock are doing great this morning. It's chilly down here, I bet it's right cold up there.

    Is my Muscovy drake taking and killing my fertilised duck eggs or is it a snake?

    Sounds like a rat, skunk, or maybe possum. When we have snakes getting them, they take the whole egg. But the 3 I mentioned above, bust em open and eat the insides only. If a 9 foot snake was getting them, I'm sure it would eat more than one. It may be either trying to get the adult birds...

    Redness on the back of my drake's neck

    I know this post is old, but our dominant Muscovy drake has had a red place in the same spot for a while. We thought maybe the other drake beat him up and was taking over. It's been there for months. This morning, I was able to get close enough to see it clearly. Fyi they hate me. Lol I'm...

    We never found the nest. She hatched em, so we quit looking. She came parading all 11 beautiful babies around the yard. She is a hatching machine, and I was looking for advice for the future. These babies are getting big now, almost 2 months, and I know she will use her intelligent...

    I'm in the piedmont. You live in those beautiful mountains. I bet you love it there. My little brother went to western carolina and loved it. I've been to black mountain, Asheville, Jefferson, and a few other places I can't recall right now. Jefferson was probably the coolest. Such a...
