Thanks for the advice. I'll break the news to my husband that we need more ducks.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06729233060266402303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2353497591349986008.post-65666118194406393852009-08-10T10:53:31.823+01:002009-08-10T10:53:31.823+01:00The blue spray is terramycin or aureomycin - avail...The blue spray is terramycin or aureomycin - available from vets only - a posh and more effective version (antibiotic) of purple spray (antiseptic)- cheap, cheerful, available from country stores. And re: the ducks the only cure is to minimise drake numbers - I reckon two drakes per dozen ducks max for the more amorous ones - and most of them have an incredible prediliction for sex - more than any other farm animal as far as I can tell! A ram has nothing on a drake.Mopsahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17912659592484055741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2353497591349986008.post-79889257133070587192009-08-05T13:36:29.212+01:002009-08-05T13:36:29.212+01:00Amri - it's nice to meet another chicken mad b...Amri - it's nice to meet another chicken mad blogger!

I don't keep hens so don't have any advice that could help you, although I am quite sure many of the other lovely bloggers will be able to give you some help.<br />I was drawn to your blog by your obvious love of animals. <br />I adore animals and would love one day to be able to have the opportunity to keep hens, but until then its a delight to be able to read all about your wonderful hens and ducks!<br />Poor Puddles she has suffered some seriously rough love! So whilst she heals she can enjoy the company of those wonderfully sweet little mallards and smother them with a huge portion of motherly love!!<br />With Love, Jane xxxaromatichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05447370086320779186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2353497591349986008.post-40246291614298929912009-08-05T04:08:20.665+01:002009-08-05T04:08:20.665+01:00Wow!
