Hi everyone. So i am dealing with a bit of an issue with one of my pekins.
She had bumblefoot back in 2017, it got petty bad, I won't lie but i took her to the vet and got antibiotics for her, wrapped her feet and it went away, she just had some excess skin on the bottom of her feet from the...

So I was wondering how large would how large would breeding pens for no more than a trio of call ducks be? I am hoping to build breeding pens but just wanted to know what kind of measurements they’d have to have, or how large.. Thanks!
(They will be raised pens)
Hello everyone. I'm trying to find hatching eggs of a few different birds, but i'm having trouble finding any one (or even 2) places that carry what i'm looking for. I don't want to pay a million in shipping by going through 3-4 different places if I can at all avoid it. I figured it was time to...
So I have flocks of different kinds of ducks. They all do fine during winter except for my Aussie Spot bantams and I am trying to figure out why and what they need different from my standard size ducks.
I keep my Aussie Spots separate from the chickens and large ducks.
My bantam ducks thrive...

It seems that my two hens are napping damn near all day. Should I be worried about this behavior? They still take time to forage and bathe in their pool, but it seems that their naps are getting more frequent. Could this be due to the sudden heat? I live in Southern Louisiana and summer has...
My muscovy drake “ Otis” has been very aggresive lately. Any time im standing beside him he always bites my leg. Once in a while he’ll exhale and start shaking his head/neck/body with the mohawk raised. How do I get him to not bite anymore?
Hey y'all,
Just wanted to introduce myself. I have two two-week old Indian Runner ducklings. Both ladies. I am totally smitten by them. Will take any and all advice.
I did end up purchasing 25lbs of waterfowl starter feed from Mazuri. I didn't want to mis-measure brewer's yeast and ruin...
I don't own any ducks, but from what I've heard from others, ducks tend to have particularly large, liquid-y dumps. Especially when compared to chickens. Is that the general case in y'all's experiences? If so, why do do ducks have these sort of feces? And is this a running trend with all...
Hello! I have owned chickens for a couple years now and i am thinking about getting a few ducks. I have a 3 acre piece that is about 30 feet from my house that i'm going to start putting poultry in. A pond (most likely 1/4 acre in size) is going to be built and completed before we get any...
