Apparently have have 0 chickens at the moment even though there's 9 feathered things in the chicken coop.

Great write up and pics. Very thorough. I always felt a used too much wrap on a hen's foot. Turns out I do. Oops! I learned something though.

Only thing I still do differently is packing the open wound with the ointment rather than using just a dab. There tends to be a pocket under the skin after bubble foot is surgically removed because there's a void where the infecting was. I make sure there's enough ointment to fill the void. This lasts longer and ensure any missed infecting gets a direct dose of antibiotic from the ointment.

Great, informative article. Thanks for sharing your experience and wisdom.

Very useful information that makes me better educated when making decisions regarding feed. Thanks for writing!

Great article. I do not currently breed my ducks and I don't have the genes needed in my small flock to breed sex-linked. However, this was a very interesting read. I may one day decide to pursue sex-linked ducks if I have a larger property so I can have more ducks (and other animals) like I hope.

Well written and great insight.

I appreciate the mention of multiple feeders and waterers. We actually only have 1 large feeder and 1 large waterer. No problems so far, but I'm going to add a second of each just to be safe.

I have a similar method of piling things in the run. I don't add bedding and poop to the run though, just grass clippings, leaves and other yard waste (weeds, garden trimmings, etc.). I have compost bins for the poop and bedding along as well as some of the other yard waste that I add there instead of the run. When you clean out the run to add compost to the garden or other plants do you pile it first for a few weeks or even months to cook off the excess nitrogen?

interesting and clever.

thanks for writing. great info.

thanks for writing. we just got started with ducks this year. we've learned a lot, but there's obviously much more to learn still.

Perhaps we will let this ducks into the garden... I tried letting the chickens in, and that didn't work out. This articled inspiring me to give the ducks a shot though.
