I have a year old blue swiss drake and a pekin female. Have two 4 week old female pekin ducklings. When can I put them in with the male? I have seen some people do at 8 weeks and others not until 18 weeks. Any advice appreciated. My coop and run are set up to separate because he was hard my...

That's what I'm thinking. I also read the younger he is the worse it is and he is only 1 year. They are in breeding season until July if I understand correctly.

No I don't plan to get more. I ended up with them because they needed rehomed. I have plenty of room to separate so that's my plan. I can separate in same run and coop so he isn't lonely.

How long did it take to work?

Just started doing this. Thanks so much.

Thanks so much. Just started that since nothing else was helping.

I just started calcium gluconate 2 days ago and I bought flaked oyster shell to see if she will eat that. I normally use the bigger stuff. I do supply grit. I also separated my drake yesterday to give the girls a little break. Thanks for your advice. Anyone know how long I need to keep my drake...

I have mine split in the middle also so the big ones can go out and free range. Raising the fence a little is a good idea. Thank you

So my four 8 week old chicks have been separated in the run all week with thier own makeshift coop. A fence separates them. I let them mingle with my 5 full grown girls and there was a lot of chasing and pecking. My little ones just hid in corner and ran away. I tried it for half hour then...

It's wet here too. And winter is super cold. This is only my second batch of raising chicks. First time in fall so I get nervous.

I moved them out 3 days ago. It has been warm enough for no heat light. They were in garage but mostly weaned from light except when it got below 45. Its going to go into 30s this weekend. I have a radiant coop heater. Should I ise it on cold nights? When would you completely stop heat? I raised...

I have four 8 week old wyandottes. Its about 60 during the day and between 30 to 40 degrees at night. Do they need supplemental heat? I have them separated from adult hens. Also when would you put them together? Thanks for any input
