My Bloodhound "Hambone"

Pullet

Please keep us posted of the progress!! As a new duck mommie, I am just curious what will happen when the ducklings are drawn to water & broody hen has a fit calling them away from playing in it.

My 17 chickens & 4 ducks live happily together!!! Same coop at night but they are free range from dawn to dusk.

Very pretty!!!

I have a mallard hen that built a nest outside the coop & has somehow convinced the other 3 hens to lay in her nest & she is broody. By the time I realized what was going on she had 18 eggs under her. The first few days she would only stay on the nest a few hrs. a day but today she hasn't come...

I would try putting the chicks on the roost at night and see how things go the next morning!! I also just had 2 broodies at the same time & both of mine separated themselves from the flock. They have both recently abandoned their chicks & I have been watching them try to attain their spot back...

Along with the size of your chicks compared to your adults, it would depend on how much they have already socialized with the adults. I usually put my chicks in a dog crate inside the coop. It allows everyone to see each other but chicks are safe. Then I have let them free range in the yard with...

I'm really not the one to be giving advice, as I am a new mom to 4. But I will tell you what I have done so far. I took a large rubbermaid container & placed it on its side and put some hay in it. They won't sleep in it but have been very good about laying there eggs there. I am bugging my DH to...

You didn't say how old yours are but here is one of my BO's at 6 weeks.

Sorry I have no advice to offer but I hope you keep us updated on the progress. I may hatch some duck eggs next yr.

My ducks are 5 months now and since last Sat. I have gotten an egg a day faithfully so I knew at least one of my girls was laying & laying in the coop like a good girl ( they free range all day). Well, today when I dumped the kiddie pool out to clean it there was an egg in there. So I am...

Ours is Wingman!!!

YAY!!!! Maybe momma duck was just trying to toughen up her runt!!!

I think I will just consider him a swedish mix!!! Becuase of his lack of a quack I do think he is a drake!! BUT, when will he get his drake feathers???

Keeping my fingers crossed for you! Thanks for the update. Keep us posted, as I am also a new BO mommy!!

How old are they? Looks like you have all girls there!!!!

Can anyone tell me what this duck breed could be ( maybe just a backyard mix ) and also I have always considered him a drake because my other 3 female mallards are very quacky where s/he rarely makes a sound. But s/he is almost 6 months old and I don't see a drake feather. At least one of my 4...
