Are you one of those people that phone taking a survey> I tell them about my son who is a surveyor. He looks through that telescope-level doohickey when they are building roads and houses and stuff. Most of the so called surveyors that phone dont even have a doohickey or know what I am talking abou...

I will be happy to complete your survey. Are you only looking for participants from Canada? If you have friends throughout the world I'd be happy to get information from them as well! It doesn't matter where they live, my focus is on Canada but I have responses from the UK, Australia and even Bulga...

Hi All! This is such a wonderful group to belong to! The advice I've gotten so far is fantastic and I love seeing all your poultry!

Also from the duck. Now the has changed from green to reddish brown. Don’t see any obvious blood or anything this is just not consistent with what I’ve seen her eating.

My Muscovy Duck, who is 9 weeks old, started pooping weirdly this morning. Now normally I attribute changes to food (watermelon, lettuce etc) but I'm worried because shes having a lot of liquid - pure urate poops this morning. I have attached photos. Any advice? Am I panicking too early? She's still...

Hatched out a few chicks a while back, just saw posting about them is an obligation. one I am happy to fulfill. I have 4 right now, planning to get a few more in the spring. The duck is Tanwyn, and the largest chick (a mix of RIR and White Plymouth Rock) is Scarlet. They're my oldest, got them at ab...

I am a new poultry owner, so excited to be on this journey. I am also a really worried new feathered friend mom? I need a mentor to help answer questions specifically on Muscovy Ducks and Chickens. I can't find all the information I need online so I'm reaching out to see if there may be someone who ...
