Thank you! The chicken run is currently empty so I will move him into there until the ducklings are older and see if he will play nice.

Looking for some feedback on how to deal with an aggressive drake. I have one drake and four female ducks (three females of breeding age) A couple of my ducks went broody and just hatched some ducklings within the past couple days. The drake is very aggressive with the ducklings, pecking...

I work Monday through Friday so it would need to be on a weekend if we’re meeting half way.

Here are a few pics of them. Sorry it took so long for me to upload them.

I am out of town for work but I can get you pics when I get back home on Thursday if that works.

I have not tamed them, he did ok with the other bantam rooster we had. A few squabbles now and then. He’s a little high spirited due to the breed.

I am about 3 1/2 hours away, I’d be happy to meet you half way if need be. Are you interested in the whole flock? I’d rather not have to cull the little rooster.

I have a small flock of five bantams that I need to re-home. Flock consists of a Serama rooster and hen and three Porcelain D’Uccle hens. Good layers, we get 3-4 eggs a day. We live in SE Washington, Walla Walla county.

I have four Porcelain D'Uccle cockerels in need of a new home. They are approximately 5 weeks old and located in South-Eastern Washington. Free to good home and I am willing to ship if you pay shipping.

Thank you! Yes I will keep an eye on his crop and switch out his diet for a few days. Not sure on his poop, I’ll have to check on that in the morning.

I'll have to check the feed bag when I get home tonight, it's a new brand that was offered at the feed store, not my usual Purina. I am curious though, if the feed was low in protein wouldn't more than one chicken have health problems? I do have some items in the freezer that's past prime. I...

That’s good advice that I hadn’t thought of. I think we just started a new bag and I didn’t keep the last one. But I will check this bags mill date. Do you have any suggestions on increasing protein? Can I supplement with mealworms and scrambled eggs?

Update... Rocky the Roo is doing much better! his crop is back to normal size although it feels hot to the touch (I suspect sour crop, or maybe all that gravel caused some inflammation). I'll keep an eye on him and take him to the Vet if the heat doesn't go away. I'm hoping that the grit...

Thanks for all the help everyone, I really appreciate it!

I was worried about the grit being too much for his gizzard. I will do what I can for him and try to talk the hubby into talking him to the vet.
