    Dogs and other pests

    So I'm looking to expand my chicken pin but I have a cranky old dog that doesn't like my chickens or ducks. She tried to dig under the current pin. We had to put concrete blocks around it. What is everyone's opinion on electric fences for the pin. Ideas?

    Duck laying spot

    So my ducks are about 3 months old and I'm wondering if I need to create a spot or some kind of laying box, like chickens need. Do I need some straw, hay, shavings or just let them do it themself? Thanks

    Buying eggs online

    I've been reading some pretty bad stories about shipping eggs and was curious. I may just have to ask around locally to see if anyone has some eggs I can try hatching. Thanks

    Hello everyone

    The ducks are the same. There is one blonde chick and 3 that are the reddish color.

    Hello everyone

    I think they are Orpington chicks and rouen ducks. Here is a pic. We had them inside for about 3 weeks but now they are big enough to be outside. My hubby told me that if we do go with these 6 this year we will add more next year.
