thank you so much! the pond has sooo much algae but we plan to rake it and use the bales!!!😂

So I am seriously considering getting my first batch of ducklings, and I was wondering if I should offer them free choice feed like I do with my hens, or feed them in the mornings and evenings. I can't find any info anywhere on it!! Also, I have a VERY small spring fed pond (that is about 6ft...

the pond is about 4ft by 5 ft so the only inhabitants are frogs🤣

yes that was the plan. the pomd is way too small for snappers. thank you so much!

I have no idea how much expirience anyone on here has on ducks, but I considering getting my first batch of ducklings, and I have one major question:): I have a small spring-fed pond behind my chicken coop that I thought would be perfect for the ducks, the only issue is that there are frogs and...

Thank you so much

They were in shipping for one day. I am not sure witch hatchery. They are all nice and warm now and I have been giving them electrolyte water. There is one chick with a very minor case of pasty butt that we are treating, but the one that passed did not have any. It might be genetics or just...

I got 8 chicks delivered by mypetchicken on tuesday and one had already died. We have had great expiriences with them so far and understand that there are risks with shipping. The only thing is that this chick was thriving not even 24 hours ago and was extremely weak when I went to check the...

Ok thanks!

I was thinking about maybe doing a few breeds with my backyard flock, but I realized that I can't keep them all, and if no one wanted the chicks what could I do? Lots of sights say butcher them. I cannot do that as my partner is vegetarian and is very against that. any ideas?

That is very helpful. Thank you

yes. and prob for about 5-10

but if my roosters were in their own coop like all of the time exept about 2 or 3 times when only one leaves to breed would that be ok?

I had an idea to get a few roos and keep them together in a separate coop away from my hens and cycle the different roos in a breeding coop with some hens every so often to get different chick crosses. I realized that this might make the rooster who just finished his time with the hens more...

thanks so much!

I have a 9 week old scissorbeak EE who has been really struggling to grow. Just 2 days ago, I made her a blend of itty bitty bread chunks, milk, water, chick feed and a raw egg. She found this INCREDIBLY easy to eat (thank god) and after 2 feeds of this, her eyes are much brighter and she has a...

i also have a crossbeak EE who is about 8 weeks old, almost more missaligned than yours! (although i know it gets worse with age) but my girl is REALLY struggling. the 3 that i got (including her) are all still in the brooder (because i made the mistake of getting them in October), and i have...
