They are pure white with orange beaks and feet. They are a year old and this is the first experience with ducks. The have an enclosed shelter with straw and they can come and go as they please. They used to bury them in their nest of straw, then stopped when I found them. That's when they quit...

Our two ducks were laying everyday until it got cold. I thought they layed right through the cold. Could they be hiding their eggs? I have looked everywhere and have not found any outside of their cubby.

I read the article and I was surprised. I have fed them warmed oatmeal only a couple of times at the end of a day. No more though.

I have two ducks and they LOVE mud puddles. Is there a reason for this?

We have two ducks among our chickens. While the chickens have a place above the ducks, how should we winterize the ducks coop? We put a floor in it and added straw. they will have a hanging feeder and hanging waterer. Do they go out in the winter? We live in northern Wyoming. Is there anything...

We have it in the yard for them as well.

we have 2 ducks. They both started laying. However one duck lays eggs with a very thin soft shell. The other lays normal hard shell eggs. They both get 20% protein in their feed. They eat with the chickens. What can we do to alter this?

Okay, we took the fake eggs out of the 3 nests we have. I read about broody just now, and you are probably correct. Thank you!

If she is being broody, how do you stop it?

We keep the yard chemical free, and they are getting 20% protein in their layer feed. Fresh water for all 7 everyday, and a very clean coop. She is the top of the pecking order. She makes a faint and weak noise. I took her out of the nest and noticed she was a little shaky for a few seconds on...

We have a hen which we found 2 1/2 years ago, and thought she might be 1-2, but can't say since we never had chickens until her. She is a Bantam Brahma. She has been normal and a good layer. Two days ago we noticed she wanted to stay in the coop, in a nest. She lays an egg, but won't come out...

is feeder fish ok for 3,4 monthold ducks

I just picked off, thinned my apple tree, about one inch size. Can they be fed to chickens ?

Came across your post. We read where you can freeze them in ice cube trays and then put them in an airtight sealed container. You can have fresh eggs when they are not laying..

I,m happy about this. Maybe chicks later? :)

Thank you! Now my husband is a believer thanks to all the response! Merry Christmas!

Thank you! I knew I wasn't crazy!

Got these two in September. 5 months old. Now one looks like a rooster. Very tall and tried to dominate the americana and sister a cou ple of times. Any thoughts on its gender?

How warm should a hen house be in the Wyoming winters when it gets down to -17 in the night and a high of 19 during the day? My husband argue about this and I put a heat lamp outside their door in the open coop. This provided some warmth during the night, but not too warm. Do Brahmas, opringtons...

thank you for your help. The scratch says it is 16% for laying hens. I have the crumbles for added protein which I was told they need in the winter. They free range in the spring and summer. They seem content and secure. I will continue to wait and enjoy them in the meantime!
