39.99 may seem high for Mazuri but there is virtually no waste. I used gamebird chow briefly and over half was wasted and it molded real fast! Id rather pay more for mazuri and my birds do so much better on it!
Bigger question how did it get in the pen to kill the ducks? I lost so many ducks over the years and never saw the killer. Each time I thought the aviary was secure another kill would happen. Sometimes the ducks eaten sometimes just head ripped off. Could be raccoon or fox or bobcat or...
My mallard hen had a nest of 16 eggs! We are on week two of her incubation. In week one she pushed 6 eggs out of her nest! One or two a day! I placed them in an incubator and now after one week im seeing no veins in the eggs from candling. Do they know which are fertile and which arent...
He pretty much leaves when she does. He stays in the pool a little longer but goes back in the nest box to join her. I think he gets lonely easily. I hope he is good with the babies when they hatch.

Id do what I could to cover that gap! A raccoon will use the gap to try and pry it open somehow and wont give up! Its a weak point in your coop and thats what raccoons look for and capitalize on. Love the stone tile idea! Should do the trick to stop diggers!
I was right there when he snapped the photo and showed me the image! I asked him to email it to me cause it was so stunning! I dont think it was enhanced! That rooster was gorgeous!
Well my mallard hen gave up on her nest on the last day! All eggs duds (some rotten which she broke in nest and started to discard) but one was a day away from hatching but died in the cold nest! Hopefully they will start again. They are both not a year old yet! My guess they were just...
I used to live near Los Gatos and saw bobcats all the time. Once with a new born fawn in its jaws! Glad you got him! But those foothills are covered with them so be wary and vigilant with your next flock!
