    Hoping I am in the wrong forum? Eggs without shells?

    One of my RIR hens has the same problem!! Are you giving her oyster shells?

    Less than 12 hours and they're at them already!

    We had a lot of raccoons and possums in our forest, and we just got one of those cage/trap thingies, where if the critter steps on a metal piece in the back the door shuts them in. We used a hot dog as bait and caught a whole lot of both coons and possums!

    When can ducks go outside?

    Layer mash is recommended for birds 16 weeks and older...it would be best to keep them on grower for now. My Pekins and Khaki Campbells are about 5 weeks as well, and are almost fully feathered. They have moved outside, but I'm in Illinois. 70's in day, 50's -60's in night. Edit: My layer...

    Pasting up?

    Well, if it's not blocking the vent or looking problematic, it might just sorta rub off on it's own. Maybe a picture would help.

    Pasting up?

    Can you use a wet Kleenex or Q-tip to gently rub it off?

    Drakes mating hens?

    So they don't start mating until about 6 months, right? And all the duck's eggs will be fertilized? (I know this is obvious-this is my first time with ducks.)

    Drakes mating hens?

    Soo.... do you think it would be best to just get rid of him? I would have to get rid of the other pekin too, because she "loves" him and gets really upset if he is out of sight. :hit
