In December 2011 I emailed, twice, and called, twice, to Holderrands about ordering a mature show quality male Welsh Harlequin duck. Twice I was told someone would call me back within one week about when they could ship one. NEVER HEARD ANOTHER WORD FROM THEM!!! PLUS, I NEVER GOT AN ANSWER...

Today is 2/22/2012...I just called that telephone number and the recording said it has been disconnected and is no longer in service. Darn!

Your WH are soooooooooooooooooooooo beautiful!!! No wonder you want to breed them!!!!!!!! They are going to have lots of simply gorgeous babies!!!!!!! Thanks so much for sending their pic...I love it!! Guess what? One of my girls layed their first egg yesterday.....and another one today!!!! The...

Some of you will think I'm nuts, but here goes.....my ducks sleep under a raised chicken coop, three sides of it enclosed...the run is attached and open to them all night that is covered with hardware cloth. I hung a dark colored towel across the area the ducks sleep in so no one can see...

I have two 10x10x6 ft kennels made with cyclone fencing. To totally secure my ducks and chickens in this area, I ran 1/2 inch hardware cloth around the outside walls and up three feet, secured with some plastic ties but mostly with hog clips made of metal. If a chicken or duck sticks their...

PLEXIGLASS is what you are asking about. I got mine at Lowes and used it over the wood flooring of my small coop. With straw over that, it was easy to clean each morning. Make sure you caulk all around all the edges...that way if you wash the plexiglass with water and soap for instance, the...

As I understand your questions, you are looking for some way to keep the rain out of the coop while you are gone on vacation, yet keep ventilation moving? A thought...get a small tarp you can attach to the top over the windows and add some pieces of wood to keep the sides of the tarp out away...

Boot trays are GREAT! I use them in my coop....makes it so much easier to clean the poop out....I dump the poop in my "to be" garden spot, then hose the trays off and replace them in the coop. Best idea for poop coop!!!!

Thank you so much for replying!!! Yes, the food and water would be outside in the enclosure. The duck house is just for sleeping. I wasn't sure about the depth...but now you have given me the dimensions that should work just fine. Thanks so much!!!!

I have three WH ducks and am getting four more ducklings in early March. My ducks do not free range. When the new ducklings get large enough to introduce to the current ducks, I know I will need more sleeping space and yard space for a total of seven ducks. So, am adding another 10x40 ft...

Ducks need a waterer, like the rubber waterer previously shown in another reply. This should be changed as often as possible daily...they love fresh water and it is healthier than old water full of food and/or mud to drink from. The waterer and pool if let set too long with not only get dirty...

FOR THOSE NEW TO CHICKS and wondering about Poultry Feeds & Nutrition, the info below is from MSUcares.com. Hope it helps answer your food and feeding questions. Feeding Schedules for Chickens Poultry feeds are referred to as "complete" feeds, because they are designed to contain all the...

I rent a home also and know of your concerns. When I had my handyman build my coop and run, he built it in two sections...one section for the coop and the other for the run. The dimensions altogether are 12' long x 6' wide with a raised coop that measures 4' x 6'. The coop inside measurements...

I have three WH ducks and will be getting four more ducklings in March. My ducks are not free ranged and I want to expand the current runs and put a duck house in one of the runs. So, what size do I need for seven ducks? I am thinking about a wood duck house 7 to 8 foot long and about 2 to 2...

You can try putting the chick in with the ducklings, but I would keep a close eye on them to see how they get along, since you have only one chick so far. Here is my story of chicks and ducks together.... I received four chicks and three ducklings the same day at three days old. I put the...

If the pecking and pulling of feathers continues, get rid of, or rehome the offensive chick. When my chicks turned about 12 weeks old there were two of them, Rhode Island chicks, that attacked one other chick relentlessly and actually drew blood. I made a few phone calls that day and rehomed...
