    Post your Duck names!

    OK, here it goes, but nothing special or terribly original: Black Swede- Oreo Pekin- Marshmallow Rouen- Brownie Runner/Pekin Mix- Kahlo (I am an admirer of Frida Kahlo's art) Four Swede/Rouen Mix that all look alike: "Bad Ducks" (Killed one of their siblings and attacked Duck, who had to be...

    Problem with multiple drakes together- advise please

    I started having problems a couple weeks ago. My questions are at the end, but this takes a little explaining. My poultry/waterfowl are separated into three groupings (three pens in the house each opening into a pen outside) so they all get along and this WAS working. A few weeks ago, the 5...

    not zoning issue- INSURANCE issue!

    I found out today that we are able to get insurance through Farmer's Insurance, but then I read all kind of negative info about them on web searches. Still not sure what to do about it.

    chicken died- any ideas why?

    This has gotten much worse. Came home from work today and another is dead laying on top of a cage. It obviously didn't fall or anything. Called the vet and of course the avian vet isn't in today or tomorrow. They will have someone else call me.

    not zoning issue- INSURANCE issue!

    lauralou- I didn't say anything to the other company- they just routinely send out a rep when you switch to their company. I would think going back to our old company they would do the same thing. And it is awefully hard to hide this many critters! Even if I keep them in the "shed" it is...

    not zoning issue- INSURANCE issue!

    UGGGGHHHHH!!!!! I made sure our coop/critters is ok with zoning. Far enough from the house, we are zoned agricultural here, etc. Thought that was our only thing we had to do. So, recently our insurance agent told us they are no longer with our homeowners insurance company and convinced us to...

    chicken died- any ideas why?

    This was a 1 1/2 year old buff silkie hen. There didn't appear to be anything wrong with her at all and I doubt she was egg bound, though the bantam hens are rarely laying lately in that section of the coop or the other section since the weather started to change. So yesterday morning I opened...

    !!! HATS OFF TO INVENTOR OF COOKIE TIN HEATER THANKS !!

    I understand the heater part, but don't understand about the restaurant steamtable container- what is that? Can you use this for the plastic waterers to set on? Or just for metal waterers? Thanks!

    How many peas kept together?

    I read through some other threads, and some said they have kept many peas together, but it didn't completely answer my questions. I had gotten 4 pea chicks (2 white and 2 that were "supposed" to be IB- think they are blue or green spalding or something other than just IB). They were all...

    Peachick help needed-somethings wrong

    I have pea chicks that hatched this past weekend. One of the chicks stomach seems to be very swollen/bloated. I checked for pasty bottom and it is fine and the chick is "going" (at least it did when I was trying to check its bottom. Still, I soaked it's little bottom in warm water to see if...

    baby sebbie died this morning :(

    Quote: I couldn't handle the burying part- made DH do it for me. I was already losing it before the "burial". He actually seemed a bit sad as well even though he wanted very little to do with the critters after I ordered the last batches of hatching eggs. Maybe DH was just sad because I...

    baby sebbie died this morning :(

    He was running around fine last night when I went to bed. I think he passed just before I got up. Heat is ok, feed was ok (and not medicated), plently of water (deep enough to clean nostrils), doesn't seem like a prob with his crop being impacted or anything. I am just clueless and miserable.

    baby sebbie died this morning :(

    I have no clue why, but I woke up this morning and one of my baby sebbies had died. I am so upset. Out of the three that were born last week (this one was 5 days old exactly), I was betting he was the only male I think I had. I think my older (6 week old) is a female as well. This is just...
