Well the dog got out yesterday and got to one of the Rouen Ducks. He was a nice size about 7 or 8 weeks. My Uncle who is a farmer is going to show me how to feather and all that good stuff. This is my first time so could someone tell me what exaclty am I to expect and what items will i need. My...

So the chickens can eat maggots. I can just scoop the food out and feed it to them. I'm sure they are fly maggots because the flies where swarming around them. Three of them are meat chickens and I thought I'm going to eat these do I want them eating maggots?

We had a big storm last week and I left the buckets of food outside and 1 got soaked. I put the top back on and put it in the shed and left for a family reunion for the weekend. A friend came and fed them for us but he used the food that wasn't soaked. I came back last night and woke up this...

I'm sorry I meant the chicken is like 3 days old. We just left it out and didn't eat it. My aunt didn't want to waste it I just thought it was kinda cannibalistic to give chickens chicken.

I was cleaning out the fridge today and I usually give my chickens leftovers that were not seasoned heavily. I came across some chicken we grilled for a cookout a couple of weeks ago and asked my aunt what to do with it. She said give it to the chickens I said give chicken to the chickens and...

A neighbor volunteered to build us something out back for free. I told him to go at it. This is what he has so far: I know we need to add perches and doors but what else do we need. Any and all help would be appreciated. Next project working on new feeders because this is not working...

All 3 of them are better now. I just wish I got to the other 3 in time. I know I'm going to be the best duck mother from this point on. They are gonna get tired of seeing me.

Quote: Thank You for writing that. I was feeling horrible like I was the worst person in the world. I was making vows to never get another animal if these three made it through. So far I have 2/3 that were on their last leg that are better. Thank you everyone for the great advice.

They are all 4 weeks old. I had water for them and water for the bigger ducks. They usually didn't go near the bigger ducks things because the bigger ones bit them. I saw them throughout the day getting in and out of the water so I figured they were able to get out. One of the ducklings that was...

I went outside to check on my animals and I found all 10 ducklings in the water. 3 had already passed so I emptied the pool. Right now 3 are dead, 4 are alive and running around, and 3 are moving but barley. What can I do for the 3 that are on their last leg. I only left for a little while and...

I have 2 pekin ducklings that are way bigger than the Rouen ducklings we just got. I let them all out in the yard when the weather is nice and I watch them as they eat. Well today I noticed that the pekin ducks peck and bite the smaller rouen ducks when they get near the food. They are maybe...

Just went to pick up some more ducks today because I didn't want my two to feel lonely. I was only expecting 3 when he handed me the box and I got home there were 10. Guess my small flock isn't so small anymore!!!!

Quote: We got them from Tractor Supply. I believe the White ones are Meat Chickens because they got biggest first and right now they are heavy and eat the most.

Thanks for the comments. I do enjoy watching them grow.
