    Bought 3 laying hens

    That being said, is asking for a free hen reasonable?

    Bought 3 laying hens

    He said all 3 had just started laying, so they're young , I've had them for 1 week and the rooster started crowing today. He assured me multiple times it was a hen even though the comb was a bit bigger. I got duped didn't I 🤦🏼‍♀️

    Dogs and Duck Poop!

    We're still fairly new to having ducks and we have two golden retrievers. They are not ever in the duck pen, however I'm having a crazy hard time keeping them from eating the poop out of the spent straw. No matter where I dump it on the property they find it! Google tells me this is bad. But...

    Are they really runners?

    Bought 3 ducks from Kijiji. They were my first ducks and I was told they were Indian Runners but they aren't nearly as tall and thin as runners. They are the 3 closest ducks in the photo. Any ideas? Edit: the 3 in the back are Khaki Campbells
