    Breed/gender

    That is the one that is the Peking/Rouen supposedly. Yes I have already treated the wound, this was taken a couple of days ago. What about the other? What do you think?

    Breed/gender

    The one barged through wire and stuck itself but is doing fine. That one I got from a person and is supposedly a Peking/Rouen mix. What is the other I got from the feed store?

    smaller baby

    Other than that mine thrived. It was a full time job when I tried to put it aside from the others because it was lonely and cried all the time. I did give it fruit to make sure it’s sugar was balanced because it would get lethargic now and then.

    What breed of ducks?

    What kind of ducks are these? I know they are different (I got them separate), and that one accidentally tore through the chicken wire and stuck itself but seems okay.

    What kind of duckling is this?

    Ok! I found it at a house I was showing half hatched and weak. The other eggs never hatched. They were all cold and abandoned. I stuck it under my Cochin who is still youngish and not that great of a mom but she does tend to it and tolerate it at least!

    No eggs at 28.5 weeks...

    Thank you. Yes I live in Mobile, I thought there should be plenty of light here! My main concern is the girls who seemed to be maturing slow and not laying at all. I thought production lines matured quickly and I wondered if free ranging and not having them on layer feed caused them to mature...

    THANK YOU. You gave the best answer! I am growing some kale, and they have a fall garden now. I put in broccoli, turnip greens, beet greens, kale, and marigolds. They LOVE it. I am adding some lettuce. I hear that kale is good for protein, I need to look into what else I can add (: May I can...

    Thanks! I don’t mind only getting 3 eggs a week, but I DO mind no eggs at all. What do you think about the older ones who are not laying at all? The eggs I do get seem super rich, healthy, hard shells, and SO flavorful. But I only get 6-10 a week with two hens. I DID see one girl whos comb is...

    Mostly they don’t get crazy over the treats unless I throw meat out. They don’t fight each other over it or anything.

    Why does it have to be feed? I hunt regularly could I just give them cooked meat?

    Ok! I will try adding more protein to their diet. I don’t want to buy commercial feed for it, but my son and I like to hunt. I have fed them kills such as squirrel and snakes. If I start giving them meat at the end of the day would that be enough? I will try this. there are SOOOOO many worms in...
