Thank you for your help, I will keep an eye on them. What is a good hen to roo ratio?

These are my first hens so I am not sure. They are just a little over three years old? When does this normally begin to happen? Thanks

For the past week I have noticed a difference in my flock's roosting pattern. They get on the roost at about 6:30 PM EST but it isn't getting dark until a little after7.Then in the morning, at 7:30 AM none of them are off the roost and the aren't coming down even during feeding. There are 4 hens...

Thank you!

I have a white crested polish bantam that I got from Tractor Supply. It was injured and not looking like it would make it so they let me just take one and see if I could save him. Well he did quite well so I went back a week later to get some friends and they had none, in fact they think he was...

I have bad news, we lost 2 of our runner ducks to a raccoon. They were in a fenced yard, then in a dog kennel that we ran chicken wire around the bottom of it and they have a shelter and this still did not stop it. They actually went in the cage near the top where the door and the cage meet. We...

I have a question, can runner ducks have treats such as cantaloupe, tomatoes, strawberries ect...?

Thanks

Here are a few pictures of the bantam Sebrights and White crested polish (who has a new water bowl that is not working for his hair do, he keeps getting it wet) Are they fully feathered.

Thanks, I will get pictures of them this evening.

Hi there, I have 4 runner ducks, white and fawn, and I am wondering when they can be left outside at night by themselves. By the end of the week our temperature will be in the low 90's and the mid 60's at night. I currently let them out in the day time but collect them at night but they are...

Thanks so much for the advice. I will try to get a video of their behavior, but I think they may have been a little warm. I moved the lamp up about 3" and they seemed to stop it for now. The brooder was at 83 now its at 80. I went ahead and bought some non medicated food and I will get some...

HI there, I am new to runner ducks. I have always had blue Swedish ducks and their mother's hatch them and take care of them but I bought 4 fawn & white runners from our local feed store about two weeks ago. They seem to be doing really good but I have a few questions. We live in Florida...

Thank you, I will candle them this evening.
