    Temporary Chick ramp/tunnel

    No, I have a second, larger coop and 3 chain link pens connected together. In my experience, silkies don’t always do well with the full size hens. The silkies have only been outside for 1 week. First I kept them in the coop with the wire door closed so they could “see” the big hens. This next...

    Temporary Chick ramp/tunnel

    I’m looking for some creative, diy ideas for how to allow my littles to free range (while I’m with them) and at the same time keep them confined and safe from my full grown hens. Ideally, I want to “build” a sort of ramp from the raised coop onto the ground (similar to a tunnel I guess). I’m not...

    Is this wry neck?

    This 1 week old silkie just started doing this. I have never seen wry neck. Is that what we are dealing with here? I have started this little one on vitamin and electrolytes to try to get a jump on whatever it might be! Possible Wry Neck?

    Ducky Diaper?

    Just keep putting it on him and he will get used to it. I would cut the size of the insert down so that it isn't hanging out. The poop lands in the pocket anyway. If he can handle it for an hour, take it off if he is still pulling at it and try it again in a while. Bob now sits in front of...

    Ducky Diaper?

    Yes, that is the harness I have for Bob, who by the way, is actually a female! I sexed him/her right out of the egg, but I had already named the "egg" Bob, so it sort of stuck! It makes for interesting conversation since Bob is a she not a he and he (she) thinks she (he) is a human, not a...

    Ducky Diaper?

    I have been using a duck harness for 4 weeks now. Bob is 6 weeks old. I have used regular diapers cut up. The Goose's Mother recommended a size 5 diaper (I think). The piece they sent me to show how to cut it seemed very large to fit in the pouch and it stuck out all over which caused Bob to...

    My pet Romeo has gone mad! He's charging and biting my feet!! D: Help!

    It sounds like Romeo has reached puberty! What you describe is exactly what I have witnessed from my Pekin drake. He "charges" at any person or pet who poses a threat to him. I was never on the receiving end of his rants, but then again, he was not one of my hand raised ducks and I was only...

    The Duck's New Pool

    OLDGUY43, please explain how you created the "shower"!!! Your babies are beautiful and my favorite part is watching them S W I S H their tails and shoot like mini rockets! I'm guessing you have a drain in the bottom of the pool? Do you have the gravel/sand mixture for it to drain into...
