Ok cool, thank you! I wasn’t too sure about the egg laying either bc I haven’t seen any change in the production, they should start laying between June and July

There is one nest in their coop, but I’m not sure who made it. I have 6 girls right now, and they all go in the coop on their own at night so I can lock them up. I’m wondering, if she is laying eggs, if she’s stressed from me taking the morning eggs? Maybe I should put in a couple fake ones in...

If she is molting, is there anything I can use to help her out? Or will it just run it’s course?

I have a mallard, Flash, that’s 11 weeks old. Her breast feathers are all patchy, and I can see feathers strewn around the run and sometimes in the pool. When I clean out their water she’s always getting all fluffed up and splashing all over the place (her sisters don’t really do that). When she...

Haha no kidding Maybe if I attach the tarp to the mesh pieces, but left a gap on each one, it would keep the cold wind out, but let just enough in to air out the coop so they can breath. I’ll also add another version of this and attach it to the other run when I get more ducks

Sweet ok, that’s good to know. I knew they were weather hardy but not that hardy 😂 would it be smart if I put a simple tarp against the mesh of the runs to keep the wind out? It gets pretty windy where I live

I live in southern Oklahoma, so the weather doesn't get too bad, but it can get below freezing some nights. I’m only going to lock them in the coop at night, so they’ll have enough room outside during the day.

Hello everyone! I currently built a coop that I bought off of Amazon and it comes with a run. The coop is for my ducks, and I’m planning to get more. However, inside the coop itself is not big enough for 10 ducks, so I want to insulate the attached run, and get one more to attach and insulate as...

I want to get four female ducklings: a fawn/white runner, a magpie, a Cayuga, and a white egg layer. Unfortunately, the runner stands differently than most ducks do. Would the other ducks bully her for that difference or would they not mind? Or does it depend on the temperament? This brings up...

Hi everyone! I’m new here and I need to know what I should do for my ducks. I’m going to have two duck flocks soon, and I don’t know if I should have one or two coops. I will have ten ducks by the end of the year: one male for every 4 females. They’ll all be raised together as ducklings so I’m...
