    Ducklings dying....

    They are currently in a tub in my home. They have a sweeter heater for heat and the rest of the tub is room temp. So about 70 degrees. They aren’t huddling together and are acting normal. In my coop, they act the same as well.

    Ducklings dying....

    They are being fed 20% non gmo and non medicated chick starter with niacin added. I’m not giving them anything else in their water or feed.

    Ducklings dying....

    Of course, I’m one of those people who just doesn’t understand how people brood chicks and they die. I’ve rarely had chicks die and I have chicks about 8 times a year. But here I am criticizing chick owners and I can’t even keep ducklings alive. I’ve had ducklings around 2 times a year for the...

    Ancona Ducks not laying

    Last year I got 5 female Ancona ducklings in April. I sold 2 of them and kept the other 3. They began to lay at the end of September and then quit at the end of November. They had straw in their coop throughout this time, but once I ran out of straw, I switched to shavings. I prefer shavings and...

    Please Help

    Eat roosters. Keep one. If you don’t have the heart to cull them yourself, then see if you have a butcher near you who will do it. Or you can give them away to people who would eat them. I highly doubt you can find eleven people to take a rooster. Order pullets next time, that way you’ll end up...

    Drakes beating up on my little Rouen girl..needing advice

    You have way too many drakes. One is the best, but you could keep two. You’ll have to decide on what to do with the other three. If you absolutely want to keep them, then separating the drakes from females is best.

    Cardboard in nesting box

    I’ve never tried cardboard, but a friend has used rubber mats with fake grass carpet on top.

    We did a thing.. expanding the flock!

    I only have one Marans and she lays lighter eggs with spots OR fully dark eggs. She lays a variety! She is a black copper Marans, not the original French but the kind that hatcheries created as sort of a knock off in the US. Her eggs can still be plenty dark! Your birds look gorgeous!
