    I am also trying to rehome 4 ducks! They are all 7 weeks old. 2 are welsh harlequin (males I think) and the other two are welsh harlequin x blue Swedish mixes. they are very pretty but I sadly don't have enough space for them. If you would like them PM me.

    Cost to replace my flock

    I agree with this but if you want to get really technical you can factor in feed cost and labor. If you want I could help you with that.

    Pullets or Roos

    I agree. The third may be too but I can't really tell and am not the greatest at assuming gender.

    Ok that's good! Temp should be around 95 degrees Fahrenheit for the first week or two, then down 5 degrees every week after that.

    What is the temp? All sounds good! Do they still chirp?

    Do you have a thermometer under the heat lamp? Are all the chicks crowding under it or on the other side of the box? Have they drank and water and/or ate any food?

    First Month Mistakes

    When I use a kennel I use dog pee pads because they hold moisture and are easy to clean. I believe a tub is still easier though.

    First Month Mistakes

    Short version: A raised waterer helps tremendously! Long version: When I go my first batch of chicks almost 2 years ago I had one of those plastic waterers which work fine but it kept getting super messy on the ground. I has to change their water multiple times a day and it was a huge hassle...

    Farm chatter

    Great! Just made a paludarium (fish tank with land and water) and added fish and snails. I am adding more animals like a turtle, a gecko, shrimp and more soon! How have you been?
