I would love to get a few ducks. Just two or so. What I am hoping for is something that is a good layer, not a good flier, and something that is quiet. Can anyone make a suggestion?

Here is a photo of my sweet Tink (now owned by Sally Sunshine). She hatched out a beautiful little clutch of LF Langshans (owned by RoPo). Tink is a splash silkie and is a WONDERFUL broody hen and an awesome mama.

Would this be a good mix? Any advice?

I have 2 white and 1 buff silkie chicks. One white hatched on 3/8 and one each hatched on 4/3. These were purchased from CJ Exotics but we have decided to concentrate on our blues and paints. Correct features and healthy. Price is per chick. I have never shipped, so I would prefer local...

Have you built one? The plans say it is good for up to 8 hens. How accurate do you think that is? We are planning on attaching the nesting boxes going outside, so that will help right? Trying to figure it out, because I cannot tell my hubby he needs to build two.... Expanding the run would be...

I m looking for 2-3 female WH ducklings. I am located in central PA and would prefer to pick up. I don't have an incubator, so eggs are not an option for me. If you have any available, please send me a message or post here. Thanks! April

I saw this post.... https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/400061/baby-chick-cage-run-pics And hubby built me one too! Today the chicks spent the entire day outside. I think they has a blast. We checked on them often and gave them more water once. I sprinkled grit on the ground to give them...

So we went to TSC today to pick up some feed and misc stuff. They were all sold out of everything chick and duck wise. But I asked and they said they will be getting more of both. Now my wonderful hubby is happily along for the ride with my new found chicken habit. He has built a brooder...

I knew I would end up with some, and I knew they couldn't stay. But I didn't realized how attached to the little buggers I would get! I have one SS that I know is a roo and 1 that I know is a pullet. I still have 2 I am not 100% sure of (75% sure they are roos...). And then I have 5 BLRW that I...

My babies, who are now 3 weeks old are starting to turn red I was told that they are Red Stars, so please correct me if I am wrong. I have been reading a lot on them and they seem to be a wonderful breed for newbies like us. My children are really enjoying having the little peeps in the...

Do you use them? If not, how do you tell your same breed chicks apart?

Ok, so I am brand new to chickens, but I am really wanting a few ducks, too. Just two. Can anyone recommend a nice breed for a newbie? I hope to raise them with the chicks. How do you keep them at home? Would they be happy in a run, or must they free-range? I am assuming a kiddie pool would be...

These are 3 of the little ones I picked up today. Almost 4 weeks old. Anyone wanna guess? Chick #1 Chick #2 Chick # 3 I know these aren't the best phones (taken with the phone). Let me know if you need different angles. I am so thrilled to have these peeps!! April
