Ducks going out of their Pen/House the first time
Yes! Too true! You know what happened to Mellow. She is doing well but I don't ever want to have such a horrible experience ever again! I was watching the sky AND the water for predators. I will take them out for another visit to the pond tomorrow or the next day. They spent about 20 minutes out... -
Ducks going out of their Pen/House the first time
I am so proud of my puppy Oreo who is 6 months old! I am equally happy that my ducks who are 6 weeks old were allowed out of their pen and I took them to our pond for the first time. I taught Oreo how to herd them and be gentle with them, our bunny, and our chicks. He is doing a great job. If... -
Comment by 'anmog' in album 'Horizontal Nipple Bucket Waterers'
I think ducks can learn to use it. I have been putting my bunny in the pen with the ducks and chicks and I have seen the ducks go up to the bunny's water bottle and start using it.

Duck poo
Update: I have everyone in the pen, they have grit and they have probiotic water. But the ducks keep drinking from the rabbits water bottle and the rabbit tries you eat their food. I had to raise up the food so the rabbit can't reach it. I threw in some aquatic plants in there today to give... -

Do Chickens eat Chiggers?
I sure do hope so because chiggers are one of those awful things like fleas or mosquitos that I scratch my head about in wondering their useful purpose on this earth.- anmog

Duck Pond/pool pictures
This pond is on the front right of my house. There is a big drainage pipe that connects these two. Sometimes a beaver will come and put sticks in the pipe keeping the water flow to a trickle lol. The pond on the right it's deeper maybe 30 feet deep in the middle. The one on the left it's about... -

Feeding Ducklings
Wow. Cayugas are so cute. Thanks for the feeding tips. We have bad weather better but hopefully I will be able to get some niacin and brewers yeast. Is a brewers yeast garlic tab for my dug ok to crush and put in with feed? -
Duck Pond/pool pictures
That's kind of how I had done it with my other Pekins who were too big to fly. I now have three that I think are khaki campbells and two Pekins. They are ducklings and I only take them into their yard which is enclosed with chicken wire and hard cloth wire nailed and stapled into 2x4 wood frame... -
