The two-week old keets are getting sick. So far four of twelve are losing their strength to stand and use their outstretched wings for balance. I've consulted every source I know, from online guinea groups to feed store owners. The symptoms don't seem to match anything well-known. So all I can try is the usual antibiotics and see what happens.
Thought I had five male muscovies and one female, but it turns out there are two females. "Cannibal" was the largest muscovy at one time, and earned the name by being top dog, eating all the others' tail feathers. Her feathers were perfect. It was assumed at the time that the biggest, baddest would be a male. Not so. She's not the biggest anymore, and she is no longer top dog, but she flies, and has the female trilling vocalization.
Snowball is destined for the cookpot. Not only is he a Pekin, which is the fattiest, best eating duck around, but we have too many males already; and he's also feeling his oats and is mounting anything that moves. The other ducks don't like going into the coop at night as a result. Anyone have any favorite recipies?

Kerrie only THINKS I am funny, in a dry way, she's never seen me nekkid, then she'd KNOW how hilarious I truly am.
