    Keeping ducks drinking water clean......how?

    I give them fresh water in the morning and another 5 gallons of fresh water when i get home. The reason its dirty is because they clen their mouths out with the water, so i figured if it was in their mouth before, what harm could it do them now

    "Land Geese"

    My ducks and one goose have to go through m dogs and about 100 yards of field to get to my neighbors pond. I didnt even show them either. I was coming up the road on day and saw all my ducks sitting in the water.

    Little Giant Hatch Along

    I have 32 in my LG, but the temp. keeps rising and dipping constantly. I have a digital thermometer in there now, i just dont know if its right. About 2 minutes ago it was at 100.6 degrees, now it at 98 degrees. Im definitley either getting a fan or new incubator the next time i hatch.

    What are you doing at THIS exact moment?

    Looking at my incubator trying to figure out why the temperature isnt staying constant after almost a week of being perfect. Frustrating!!!

    Spurs almost grown back into roosters leg

    You just have to be careful not to cut the quick, it would be kinda hard though cause you would have to cut a lot off. I just cut the tip so there was no pain or blood. Quick and easy.

    Chicken bit by dog (Graphic Pixs)

    This happened to my duck in almost the same exact area. In fact i didnt even know about it until i picked her up. I just let it be, it wasnt dirty. i just checked on it everyday. If you want to help her put some healing cream on it, gauze and if you have it, wrap it in hockey tape. Hockey tape...

    One of my hens has Infectious Brochitis or Laryngotracheitis?Which one

    Yeah my bantam are usually in a small a-frame coop, but since the winters been so bad i couldnt let them out. I built them a pen in the duck area of the barn. What i thought caused the I.B. was the condition they were in, the area is dirt and when the snow melted it goes right into the barn and...

    Question on Roosters

    With my experience if to roosters grow up together, then they will be best friends, and you can even put a new rooster with another rooster, it just takes a little while. They have to have little supervised playdates.

    Muscovy keepers share your pics!

    Quote: If my ducks got near one of my dogs my dog would kill them in a second. theyve learned to stay away and if they get trapped they will usually wait till i come out and they follow my back to the barn

    Rooster badly beaten in a fight with another Rooster!!

    Its a GREAT idea. ive nursed countless roosters back to health after they got in fights. Just basically do what you would do if he were a child. wash it, bandage it, change bandages, the whole 9 yards. Chickens though are a little tougher than humans sothey heal quicker and better. Good Luck.
