    I've created a monster..

    Thanks you all:/ for the input. I tried a ramp and even guided her up it to show her where to go. She didn't seem to thrilled to be up high and yes she is rather clumsy compare to the agile chicks. Last night had to let her cry it out...she was in her familiar pen and had the adult ducks near...

    I've created a monster..

    My baby duckling Katie is about 1 month old. She seems to be quite happy and thriving. Katie was however hatched by a chicken and raised with her 2 chick 'siblings' . My problem is this, my duck thinks she is a chicken. It has not been a problem until now. The mother hen and the chicks are...

    My Bantam hatched ducks!

    So I got this wild idea to satiate my broody ~1yr old Bantam. I decided to put 3 of my fertile duck eggs under her to see if she could hatch them. I did some research and concluded it was possible and has been done before. Ducks gestation is ~28 days, 1 week longer than chickens. After the first...

    Hi from Northern California

    Hi all! I decided to join this forum as almost every chicken question I have had seems to be answered somewhere in here. I have a small flock of 7 chickens and 5 ducks. Just today I have some new additions! So exciting as they are my first babies. More on that later...looking forward to gaining...
