My six ducks are now around 10 months old, and I knew they'd start laying soon. Today I was out walking and noticed a nest they had made by our shed, which had four eggs in it. I found another nest close by and it had one egg in it. They have been laying eggs all around the yard lately, but this...

Back in August of 2011, my 6 ducks were around 2 months old. Then, they were living in a duck pen with a house and a small pool. Everyday I would refill the pool with new water. I used to feed them in the morning before school and clean out the pool, then when I got home, I would let them free...

I'm wanting to order some geese from Metzer Farms this spring. I only want two though, because I have 6 full grown duck already and I'm hatching mallards this spring as well, so the two geese won't be alone when they get older. Anyway, I want a breed that is not as loud and that would be nice...

One of our neighbors raises mallard ducks. In a few days, he's going to give me some hatching eggs to hatch out and I've hatched chickens before, but not ducks. Anyway, I'm wondering when the male mallards feathers will change to the gray body, green head, etc. We had mallards in the spring and...

I have 6 ducks, and they HATE the pond! We live in the country and have 5 acres of land with a nice size pond on it too. When they were younger I would take them out of the pen and bring them to the pond and they loved it! But as they got older they stopped going down there, now they don't at...

Ok, so my 6 ducks have been together since the day they hatched...there are 3 females and 3 males. Anyway, lately I've noticed that the two pekin males will chase the black Swedish male around! One time I came home and the pekin had the black swedish's neck in his mouth (or bill)! Why is this...

Okay, so I have ducks and they started laying two days ago. They are around six months old. My only females are two welsh harlequins and one black swedish. The first day there was one egg just in the yard. The second day there were TWO eggs in the yard! I assume its the welsh harlequins laying...

Hey! I have six ducks (2 welsh harlequins, 2 pekins, and 2 black swedish) and they are about six months old now. I live in northern Missouri, so our winters can be pretty harsh. I'm thinking of ideas for houses for them to stay in, during the winter and for night time. They free ranger all the...

Hi, my barred rock chickens are only laying one egg a day and there are 13 hens!! They are 11 months old and i don't get why! They were laying in march to may but they just stopped. Were feeding them egg laying pellets and they are penned up not free range...we tried that and it was an Easter...

This is probably a stupid question, but we all know that ducks poop like every 30 seconds, but do they poop while they're sleeping or while they are cooped up for night??

One of my turkey poults is a week old and he's missing a lot of fluff on his stomach! It looks like he pecked at it or another bird in the brooder has pecked at it...but the other poult I have is fine. Any ideas why this happened and how to prevent it? It's stomach is pecked raw and has been...

What's the most eggs you've gotten in one day?

Everyone post pictures of your baby chicks that u have now, or past chicks that you've had! Also tell what the breed is!! Mine are barred rocks!!

Today some of my chicks are hatching and the ones that have hatched, and moving my other eggs all around. Some of the eggs aren't scheduled to hatch until next week...so I was thinking of sitting them in an egg carton that sits in the incubator. Would this be a bad idea, considering that I've...

When should I take my chicks out of the incubator? They're not wet, but they're not fluffy yet either. It's been in the incubator for at least 12 hours since it hatched. Thanks!!
