    Redtail(I think) punctured ducks cheek this a.m.

    It WAS the hawk I just question my hubs thought that it was Redtail. Doesn't really matter what kind of hawk, I guess, but I have no clue if hawks can be discouraged easily.

    Redtail(I think) punctured ducks cheek this a.m.

    Husband came in saying he had seen Redtail(I ? this tho) strike behind one of our structures then I couldn't find Princess, the WH duck. Drake, the Call drake was wandering around(how smart) while all chickens had hidden and I found Princess sitting vewy vewy quietly hiding in chic shed. She...

    Processed 3 ducklings,4 mo and it was different

    Eewwwwwwwwww. Will have to pay more attention with next chicken I do. Have never noticed on them. Probably smaller/in a different location? I learn everyday. I generally skin the chickens we've eaten so thats probably why I haven't seen them.

    TY. It was such a gross substance involved I figured it was a "scent gland" type thing given as they were all drakes. Learning!

    They were mutts from unexpected hatch and given as I don't trust people enough to "rehome" them we processed.

    The first time i saw spayed hens !

    I see the need for stopping chickens ability to reproduce, nowadays, because there are SOOOO many being dumped or fed(inhumanely) to predatory pets.Too many people on cl handing over free cockerels/roos to "good" home only to have person receiving fowl feed them to their other pets(which is fine...

I have not the patience nor time for doing the down but that sounds neat.I generally skin my chickens but have never cooked duck and the ONLY suggestions I have gathered thusfar have been to leave the skin on and roast like chicken(which is easy/yummy) so will just leave duck in hot...

They are WH/Call duck and I understand they aren't traditional meat ducks but can NOT keep more animals.The...
