    How to stop Muscovy ducks from bullying each other?

    I specifically got all female Muscovy ducks to avoid bullies but I soon learned that doesn't keep them from picking on each other.

    A few months ago a family friend gave us 4 of their birds that they couldn’t care for, 3 pullets and a young guinea fowl, after some research I found out about guinea mating practices and figured out that we had a male.

    Hens chasing away new cockerel

    I have a mature chicken coop of 20+ with a single rooster. I received a new cockerel, about 3 months old, and I don't think he's meshing with the other chickens very well. They have a lot of room and are free range. They have one big house and a mini house. I made another mini house for the...

    Ducks Getting Along

    So about three weeks ago I purchased 3 ducklings (pekin, khaki, and cayuga) The khaki sadly passed on the ride over so we were left with just the two. The khaki was supposed to be my brothers and he was very upset so we decided to get another khaki and since they can’t be shipped alone we had to...
