Yes with lots of lemon

I make mine straight. Toss a tea bag in the pitcher with water and let it set on the counter until it's ready. Sometimes I put it in the fridge, others I just take it from the counter.

Do you use sugar Bob?

I found it too strong just straight tea bag. Unless I'm doing it wrong. Making your own isn't really a thing here but I love liptons iced tea so would love to know how to make it properly

I buy family size tea bags use 6 to make a large pitcher of tea boil the water turn off the burner and place the tea bags in tied together place a plate over top to steep. I then wait about 10 mins put the sugar in the pitcher pour the water over stir this is good warm or cold with lemon.

You always have the best info. So if I hatch eggs from my crested drake will they be crested?

50% should be He can only be carrying one copy of the gene, because in addition to the other problems it causes, a double dose is lethal and kills ducklings in the shell in late incubation.

Well, in today's episode of "I left work with more birds than I had when I got there":

A man and his daughter came in asking about treating a duck that had maggots on it. Well, that's flystrike, yuck. Obviously the wound needed to be cleaned, as many maggots as possible removed, and then I would apply SWAT to kill any eggs or missed maggots. As well as start the duck on antibiotics.

So I sent them looking for the stuff, a coworker talked to them and was telling them about how I have all kinds of birds, etc, and long story short they asked if I would just take their two ducks when I got off work.

Sure, fine. So I do. This drake is COVERED in maggots. This is really bad. I am doing what I can. He's getting a soak right now to drown as many as possible, and then once I can get ahold of some permethrin, he's gonna get sprayed down with that.

I will be tube feeding him in a little bit, and also starting him on Baytril.

His name is Loaf, they said. Everyone think positive thoughts for him.

How much sugardo you use? How big is a family size teabag?

Oh my!!! Pyxis you are an amazing person. Not only is there physical costs but there's a mental toll too. Best of luck to Loaf, he's in very good hands

Best of luck with Loaf. Once again I see a clean pic of a white duck. Really wish you the best
