This is the first winter of having my Sebastopols and I'm not sure what I should be giving them for "snacks" or extras once the green grass is gone. I'm in CT and we are expecting snow tomorrow so no more grass to chomp. Also, I'm looking for a safe way to heat their house. I have only a pair...

I have two Sebastopol goslings - male and female- and my intent is to get another pair for them to breed with. I'd like to know what you use for identifying your geese. I grabbed some bands at Tractor Supply on clearance yesterday meant for chickens but apparently one band has already slipped...

We honestly didn't think our duck was going to hatch anything. We have a Runner and then a pair of Swededs. Well, the female Swede layed a huge nest of eggs but never sat on them - perfect for us. The Runner, Emily, on the other hand protected her nest like a dragon I have been checking on the...

With the daylight change, etc our free range ducks have been coming back later in the day. Well, something got 2 of them and now poor Emily is quacking and lonely. I have posted on Craigslist and searched but can't seem to find anything. Emily is a Runner and I'm not picky except we would prefer...

We have a duck house already that matches the treehouse I built for my girls. This summer we are finishing our fenced in garden and I'd like to make a shelter of some kind in there for the ducks. It doesn't have to close for safety, just something to keep out of the sun with a small pond for...

Long story short, a few weeks ago I posted about 2 orphaned Mallards we have and I bought them frie4nds at TSC. The friends turned out to be Rouen and Khaki Campbell according to what I got for feedback here. I haven't been paying close attention because we have ducks outside plus dogs and...

Pretty please:D Long story short (my compuer shut off mid-typing on this) my dog scared a Mallard, we have 2 of her ducklings, she has been gone for 24 hours with her other dozen babies. I went to TSC and bought what they had labeled as Mallards but I am doubting what I was told. Can you tell...

I'm not sure when they should go out. Last year we were given duckllings but they weren't "new" like the ones we have now. I'm not sure when I can safely put them out in their house here in the North East (SE CT really). With all of the water we've had lately we're having electril problems in...

Because right now my little little lovelies are looking really devilish to me! I tried a container with a cover and holes cut out fo the side. Apparently, the first holes were too big because one duckling got in it. So, I made another with smaller holes (I used a hole drill bot) but they can...

I'd like to order ducklings this spring. We live in CT and I want to order only about 10. I'm not sure when the best time to order them is. We will need to keep them in the garage as we don't have room in the house. A heat lamp is not an issue at all but even with the heat lamp I'm worried about...
