I am new to the chicken slash duck community. I've had my chickens for a year-and-a-half and my three ducks for a year. Recently my Drake has been trying to get at one of my chickens if you know what I mean. So I am building separate coops. I have just about finished my chicken coop that started...
I have three ducks. That I'm wanting to build a new dwelling for around our existing pond. I've attached a picture of the pond if anybody has any ideas shoot them my way please.
Question (again) how long should I wait to collect my ducks eggs if the male is definitely mounting the females? Normally we do a daily egg sweep due to having the 3 ducks and 2 chickens, but we'd love to have babies eventually.
I am so enamored with this group!! I am a fairly new flock momma(I have 2 chickens and 3 ducks) my oldest duck is a Pekin lovingly named duck duck. She is close to 10 months old and has recently begun"nibbling" on me. I have never once thought this to be a negative action. Until yesterday that...
What are your black ducks in this pic? Do they follow your Buffs around like shadows? I have a 2 months old buff and a black **** not sure what she is. Blackie follows Coraline like she's a shadow. I do believe that blackie wouldn't know how to do a thing without Coraline! Lol

It's flipping cold (again) and my chickens are cold yet my babies are in the pond swimming. LMAO Yesterday I spent all day draining and cleaning the pond for them making sure the goldfish and minnows were taken care of as to not kill or shock them. No sooner did I get the pond refilled gingerly...
My babies are getting so big. Our 2 chickens are quite b words to them still but our Pekin is taking them under her wing,(pun intended) The 2 babies (not really babies) are inseparable. If and when they are more than 2' apart, they cry for each other. Gotta say, digging the social activities of...
My darlings are such fun to watch! We have them in a kiddie pool at the moment and they play Chase going around and around. I have a pie dish with water in it in the middle if they like to swim in bathing. One weird thing that they do though is they knock their beaks on the side of the pool...
Wow!! Thank you ever so much. We have a 7 month old Pekin (Duck Duck) and 2 new additions who are a week old. Coroline and Blackie. We have given Duck Duck citrus, popcorn, bread, and spinach.all but the popcorn we thought were good.
It is information like his that help us all maintain a...
