    Advice on Getting My Ducks to Lay in the day?

    I'm trying this corner, plastic bed thing. I'm going to see how it works. And I presume it's when it's dark because I let them out, most of the time, before the sun rises. Thanks though!

    Advice on Getting My Ducks to Lay in the day?

    I have four female welsh harlequin ducks. They were born this May and all four of them started laying not too long ago. Thing is, they lay at night! It's odd, or at least to me, but the only problem I have is this leaves the eggs all poopy. Their hutch has no nesting boxes but during the day...

    What should be on a goat's diet?

    Thanks for all the answers! I mostly ask this because recently one of my wethers died from some unknown reason. I wrote that story below encase someone didn't want to read it. Anyway, the farm we bought our first goats fed their adult grain, alfalfa pellets, and sunflower seeds mix. We mostly...

    What should be on a goat's diet?

    I have 5 miniature silky goats who all weigh differently but average in the range of 40-50 pounds. One of the females may be lighter. There is one wether and the rest females. They have access to minerals and are fed 1 cup of grain in the morning and fed orchard grass at lunch time. Right now...

    Chicken Toy Ideas

    So I have two polish hens that are still too young to be integrated with the older flock and are sitting in my garage in a large bunny cage. I know when they get bored they tend to pick on each other and stuff so I need some easy homemade chicken toys! :D

    2-3 Month Old Polish Hen Very Sleepy and Barely Eating

    The polish hens are separated and my current flock is being treated for coccidosis because of some bloody poo and won't be integrated with the new ones until fully healed. I have heard mites can be a problem for polish, do you know what works best at getting rid of them? Thanks :)

    2-3 Month Old Polish Hen Very Sleepy and Barely Eating

    Hello, just the other day I went to a local chicken swap and got myself two polish pullets. I am not familiar with the breed but have always wanted one. I got a one with a black body and white crest and the other one is a buff. I have been taking them out, letting them lay in my lap and noticed...

    Confused on Welsh Harlequins

    Thank you :) One more question, do you have chickens with your ducks? Ours will be living together but not raised from chicks together so I'm not sure how that's going to go down.
