well i've searched high and low.. lol. can't find any around here. and i'd really prefer not to have to order hatching eggs. but i may have to if i want to get what i want. maybe the guy in my area will come through.

In South MS or SE Louisiana. Let me know if you have any for sale.

Well, i'm not looking for something SQ. there aren't any shows in MS. so there isn't much point in me getting any sq with the intent to show. There aren't any breeders around here.. at least, not many. so i'm gonna keep on the watch. what do you think about my odds of getting good eggs from...

ok. someone told me that call ducks were tricky setters. that they might quit the nest if they didn't have a lot of privacy. i'm going to build their little house down by the pond and put them some bedding down in it. if she decides to set, what do i need to know about letting her raise...

:) I had a cayuga and mallard once.. didn't keep them long.. someone gave them to me and i raised them for a few weeks and they ate too much and wasted too much feed.. so i sold them. and the call ducks are so cute i just can't help myself. not i've just got to find some. apparently they...

Ok thanks. Is there anything I need to know about ducks? Like i said, the only duck i had roamed the pond by himself. didn't have to tend to him too much. I'm used to chickens.

If i feed them laying pellets in their little hut that i plan on building, will they come inside it at night? When i had that one duck, he just stayed in the pond. so i've never had any ducks that i had a shelter for.. so what kind of place should i build? When do they come of breeding age?

anyone?

anyone know what time they reach breeding age?

I've only briefly had ducks before. i had a mallard named Ferguson but he flew away.. or got eaten.. not sure which. Anyways. we have a pond in our back yard that supports droves of wild wood ducks each year and even now there's a trio of some sort of wild ducks in there.. i want to get some...

I agree with Sunny.. RIR's are a deep mahogany color.

He definitely looks like a roo

I use 2x4 welded wire for my pen. i don't have any trouble with varmints. But it has happened before that a coon reached through and grabbed a rooster and pulled him through. it was a bantam rooster. Coons are nocturnal animals and so you really only have to worry at night. During the day...

$80 for mine! Wooohoo. If you go to the coop section and scroll down to dog kennel coop, that's my coop. the last page has a link to some pictures of it.

chicken tractor coop is finished at last! I went and bought the wire today, and bought a pack of zip ties.. those things are NOT cheap!!! And ziptied the wire down to the top of the coop.. It doesn't look pretty... In fact, it's kinda bowed downward... Which is unfortunate.. But i am NOT...

well, that's nigh impossible. I do wish my big coop had a wheelbarrow size door. I have to shovel the manure out of the coop into a bucket and then into the wheelbarrow. However, the point of building this coop is so that we can move it around from time to time and let the chickens fertilize...

Got the latches and hinges on today! now the next box is fully operational. The door latches shut and the pop door is locked shut. Now, i have to go buy wire tomorrow. Priced it, $20. So. I've spent $80 on this coop.

Well. I must say.. I'd not pay $100 for a chicken. But that's because i don't have $100 to spend on a chicken.. that would probably croak the moment i brought it home, knowing my luck! But, i've paid around $20 for a bird before.. It was a pair of buff sebrights.. that i realized when i got...

ALMOST DONE!!! And i still haven't taken any pictures.. lol. Maybe tomorrow. Ok.. So, when/if you see it, you will see that it's a 'rig' of sorts. It's sturdy and well built i think. Basically, we built the wire bottom, the roosts and the front panel (That has the chicken door, Me door, and...
