    Just added ducks to our flock

    So far emptying it with a bucket, thinking of digging a trench underneath and adding a drain line and valve though.. That bucket thing is a pain

    Just added ducks to our flock

    And I made a little mini pond out of an old tote from work. They seem to like it, but it does take up a little run space

    Just added ducks to our flock

    Update... we do have one of the two ducks using the ramp. 2nd duck will come down the ramp but only up 1 step then jumps off. Still looking for breed identification if anyone cares to take a stab at it. Based on voice my daughter says we have 1 drake and 1 hen, but time will tell. No curly...

    Just added ducks to our flock

    Just added 2 ducks to our flock and brought home some new chicks too. Not familiar at all with ducks, so this will be an adventure. Attached are some admittedly poor pics, but if anyone can advise on what breed of ducks these are and if they are drakes or hens that would be greatly appreciated...

    How small of a hole can a possum fit into?

    I came home to broken eggs with no yolks a week or so ago. 2 nights ago I found a possum in the next box. It has been successfully dispatched. I was unable to find any holes in the fencing or under the fence. No burrow holes either. I am wondering if a juvenile possum could fit through 2x4 holes...

    Reclaimed Barn wood coop

    love it dirtsaver! Gotta love freebies. I'm into my coop for about $50. I had to buy a few new 2x4's and a treated 4x4. Other than that I either had it laying around or was able to pick it up from someone who didnt want/ need it. Now if you take labor into consideration, tearing down an old barn...

    First new chicks--any hope for pullets?

    Thanks! I know the pictures are not the greatest. Best I could get on my phone with those quick little buggers. We were hoping for at least 5 pullets out of the 10, so it looks promising. A friend may want 1 of the RIR cockerels, we'll probably keep 1 around as well. And the other...well he...
