Ol’ lady needs a home. Texas (DFW)
Thank you SO much. Fingers crossed! -
Ol’ lady needs a home. Texas (DFW)
Thank you! she sure deserves a good home. I only have a small mirror in there to keep her company. I’m about to go purchase a larger one. -
Ol’ lady needs a home. Texas (DFW)
Anyone in the DFW area of Texas who would like an older female runner? She still lays eggs, but she’s an older girl and so it’s not as regular. My poor drake was killed today, and she is tragically all alone. -
Duckbill scrape or peel?
It seems to me looking better. I think it was just shedding. -
Duckbill scrape or peel?
I went outside this morning and saw that my drake has what looks like an injury on his bill. I thought maybe he had scraped it on the bottom of the coop where the hardware cloth meets the ground.

Adding chickens to duckyard
Thank you; that is reassuring, but I only have the one coop/run, and bird yard. So they would have to crash together at night. Chickens up high, and duckies on the floor. -

Adding chickens to duckyard

Jujubes and duckies
Thanks for the link. Turns out there is a large spiky pit in the fruit, so I decided not to plant that jujube tree in the pen. The fruit flesh is ok though, so I can feed them fruit that has the pit removed. I've just been busy the last two years, for obvious reasons. I work in the medical... -
Jujubes and duckies
Does anyone know if ducks can eat jujube fruit? I'm planning on planting two jujube trees in the duckyard, for shade for the ducks and fruit for me. But These trees will most certainly drop fruit. I aim to do my best to remove the fallen fruit, but I'm sure I won't be able to get them all right... -
Lotus
Does anyone know if lotus is toxic or not for ducks?There is a portion of the run that stays completely muddy, and unlike water lilly, lotus can be grown in just muddy soil instead of floating water. I thought it might be fun and perhaps attract insects for them to eat whilst in their run. And...
