    Cockerel tried to attack me this afternoon

    Thank you One Chick Two for the support. I just hope the other cockerel is a worthy new leader and the new position in the flock doesn't go to his head!

    Cockerel tried to attack me this afternoon

    I couldn't cope with him anymore. My anxiety was going through the roof and of course he could sense thatca mile away! I could barely get into the pen to feed them this morning, he just wanted to pick a fight with me whilst I was just trying to be normal and changing the water. I asked my...

    Cockerel tried to attack me this afternoon

    Thanks guys It does seem strange. I have always been calm and I go and see my chickens about 4 times a day, which includes closing them in at bedtime. There is never any fuss or problems, I'm always chittering away to them. Sometimes I just sit and hang out with them talking to them. I don't...

    Cockerel tried to attack me this afternoon

    Thank you for the advice, I shall have to find a friend with a fishing net, or what about a blanket, would that do it? I'm hoping he calms down and that he was just worried for his girl. I just went down there this evening at treat time and it was all normal, so fingers crossed and see what...

    Cockerel tried to attack me this afternoon

    Hi all I've been loving my chicken experience since I started back in May this year. But today I was a little let down. I actually have two cockerels and at the moment they seem to be getting along fine. One is a few months younger than the other one and the younger one was introduced...

    The khaki-Campbell duck Thread !!!!!!!!

    I think that does help me actually, everything about them both screams female except for the bill colour. I tried taking more pics this morning - not too brilliant though! On the second photo it is the one at the top left I suspect being male and on the last photo it is the one on the...

    Sounds similar to my set up. Great price for your fencing! I had to pay 22 euros and that was on sale for the green plastic fencing which is 1.2m high (sorry metric over here!!) And I got some netting which gardeneres use to protect their fruit trees etc just to put over the top case there are...

    The khaki-Campbell duck Thread !!!!!!!!

    Yes, mine love the rain too. We had a huge storm last week and the rain was lashing down. My ducks seemed like they were pushing their faces into it like it was a ray of sunshine, it was really funny to watch. Yes I agree, the hard work is worth it! I was worried if one of mine is a boy, will...

    The khaki-Campbell duck Thread !!!!!!!!

    Just basic really, I had a crate which I put a partition into for a future egg laying area and I got my hubby to attach some corrugated perspex roofing on the lid which is detachable and then a dog crate (which I used originally for them when they were little in the house), I have covered with...

    The khaki-Campbell duck Thread !!!!!!!!

    Mine are 9 weeks old and gorgeous. They change so fast and I am loving them. Trying to resist new ones, but it is hard. At least it has helped that the farmers market I got them from haven't had any Khaki ducklings since I got mine, otherwise that would be more difficult!! I'm still in limbo...
