    Hen or Roo??

    This is a 3 yr old buff orpington/RIR. It is much bigger than the other 4 hatched at the same time. It's much more aggressive than the other 4 and runs their little flock.

    Pekin duck broody

    One of my pekin ducks have been sitting on eggs on and off,but the last 4 days she hasn't got up at all. She made a nest in the flower bed and I was told it's not a good idea to move her.

    How old is a mallard when she goes broody?

    I have three sixth month old pekin ducks and two three month old mallards. My pekins have made a nest and started to lay eggs a few days ago. Today when I went out to the coop my mallard was laying on them. When I fed all of them she didn't get up. Can a mallard duck go broody at just three...

    Duckling Disappeared!!

    I rescued three wild ducks last night when their mom abandoned them for over an hour. I put them in a brooder, the same ones my other baby ducks and baby chicks were in when I first got them. I gave them food and water and a heat lamp. When I left for work this morning all three were in there...
