    Agreed. You cannot leave food without water as they can choke.

    Where to put ducks to sleep??? HELP NEEDED

    Get the water out of there and try using industrial hemp as your bedding. It is more odor controlling and absorbent. Once you get the water out of there and have a more absorbent bedding you may go weeks without having to clean it out. I am actually trying deep litter with my ducks using...

    Where to put ducks to sleep??? HELP NEEDED

    Think of a duck house like a dog house. You can honestly even use an actual dog house. Just make sure you predator proof it and provide ventilation as stated above. You could cut windows into a dog house and staple hardware cloth to the inside. Then use the wood you cut out to make a shutter...

    dogs and ducks

    I have chickens and ducks, a rabbit and two Rhodesian ridgebacks. At first my dogs were very excited, particularly my female, at the sight of the birds. In a very short amount of time my dogs are now indifferent. They seemingly now view them as part of our household. That said, I wouldn't...

    The straight run birds are the youngest at 5 weeks old, but they are still really small. I might be able to pull it off, but they also seem a bit more wild. They certainly don't lack confidence. They will jump up to peck one of the 12 weekers if they feel offended. So funny!

    I am guessing since you are CaliFarms that you are in California? I am in upstate NY. I selected birds that would tolerate the cold. Honestly, I would get all the things if I could. Some people collect trinkets. I collect living things that count on me for their survival. We also have...

    I have already considered getting a few more hens to be safe. I may wait a little bit and see what the Cemanis grow into and decide then? Or is that too late? My flock are all still pretty young.

    That's super fun!! I really like Speckled Sussex. I dream of those and Jersey Giants. I also really love Runner ducks as well. I thought I would start "small" with my 18 birds. Ha ha.

    I have the five Golden Laced Wyandottes, two Cream Legbars, two Olive Eggers, one Australorp and three Ayam Cemanis. As for ducks I have two Welsh Harlequins and three Cayugas. I love them all. They each have such entertaining personalities. You?

    Here is my first episode of "Guess the Sex."

    I have 13 chickens. These two appear to be cockerels. The jury is out on the rest as they are too young to tell. I am betting at least some of the Cemanis are cockerels as well. What kind of luck would it be that they are all hens? Unlikely. The rest of the birds are suppose to be hens...
