Not sure if I'm in the right spot, I'm still new here. Can anyone tell me what I can feed my male ducks. I've got an Atwoods & a coop near me. I'm temporarily feeding Mazuri Waterfowl Maintenance, but it's sooo expensive. I was hoping someone here might be able to help me with an alternative...
Okay, I need some help from folks with more experience than me. I have 6 male ducks that have been on Mazuri Waterfowl Starter since birth. After two weeks they have had it mixed with oats (3:1 ratio). I have temporarily bought Mazuri Waterfowl Maintenance for them, but at $33.00 a bag I need...
This is normal. Mine are a week older than yours and I asked the same question about weeks ago. Give them about a week and you will see new fluffy down and feathers.
Not sure if this is the right place to post this.
What is a safe way to get rid of the wasp that are in and around my chicken coop without hurting my chickens?
This is my first time raising ducks and I'm not sure what's going on with they're feathers. They are 2 1/2 weeks old and seem to be going bald in some areas or just completely thined out. Today I came home to find all their little tail feathers gone. I expected that they would just loose their...
I just received my order of 7 last week. They hatched Monday and I received them on Wednesday morning here in Oklahoma. All are very healthy. I haven't had a single health issue yet.
I'm very satisfied so far.

Okay, I have another question.
One of my chicks looks like she has a bare spot on her left side between her wing & vent. At first I thought she had pasty butt and her fluff was matted. But after washing her I'm not so sure. She seems fine, eating, pooping, sleeping & running around. If she...
They're here !!! I just received my chicks from MPC. Thanks to this site I was very well prepared for them and all are drinking & eating so far and seem healthy.
I'm new at this so this maybe somewhere on this site somewhere. The problem is that one of my chicks has poop stuck to the top of...
This is my brooder with removable partition. I currently have 6 ducklings on the left side and my 7 chicks will go on the right. The ducklings have shavings & the chicks have sand for bedding. It's 3x5 and took 2 days to build. The ducks will be out off it in about 2-3 weeks, then I take the...

A little. The pekin is all yellow and the buff is yellow with tint to him. He also has some markings near his eyes. The Buff is also not as skittish as the pekin. My pekin is the biggest & loudest of the bunch. But the way they all eat, that won't last for long. haha
I originally...
