Babies have arrived! Pics! And now with video!
I bet that was a relief! They are sure pretty! I have to say your blue swedish is really turning into a pretty bird. I am such a sucker for that color. Someday I want a couple of Lavendar Orphington chickens. They have the gray feet and a lilac gray coloring to their feathers. Such pretty... -
Pictures of my babies!! Picture overload...
Soo true. I can really see that now. I need to take some pictures of them today. We are hoping to get some really good progress done on the house and run today. We will be gone next weekend so it just really needs to get done by then. They need a safe place to be while we are away. :) I'm gonna... -
Babies have arrived! Pics! And now with video!
It looks so great! I bet it feels nice to have that finished up. How did you do the first night? Did YOU survive!? ;) I know it was hard for me the first couple of nights. It was kinda sad to walk downstairs and not have them greet me with a "We ran out of food - get more for us NOW!" cheeping. :) -

Oh no! Well, I hope that isn't the case! Did they arrive with colored leg bands? Metzer marked the hens and drake with different colored tape. I'm not sure it would help you at all, but here is what my silver phase drake looks like at 4 week old: He is the duckling furthest to the left with the... -
Anyone tried this H20 Animal Hydration Tough Guy Automatic Waterer for their ducks?
That is a very good idea! I hadnt thought of putting water on a timer. How big was the pool? We have a really good space that we can expand the run to, and I'm thinking putting a little pool there will be perfect. The ground slopes up a little, and it is right by my garden, so draining it would... -

Thank you! That is neat that she laid eggs by your door. I think they'll be just fine on their own. :) -
Pictures of my babies!! Picture overload...
Thank you! My husband says thinks they were cuter as babies. I still think they are cute, just a different kind of cute at this stage! lol -
Anyone tried this H20 Animal Hydration Tough Guy Automatic Waterer for their ducks?
Hey duck owners! Has anyone tried using this or a similar set-up for their ducks? I've seen some of these I particularly like the metal little giant version, but I was worried how easy it would be to clean the duck backwash from the bottom of the bowl? Would you just make it overflow every other... -

Babies have arrived! Pics! And now with video!
hahah hilarious! I was wondering why they weren't trying to eat them! I actually considered trying to swat a couple and feeding them to the ducks. Maybe let them acquire the taste, it may help give them motivation, and it would awesome if they would become fly hunters. lol I bet Pepper will be... -

Thanks for posting this! I was hoping for an updated look at Harley! She is beautiful... and so are the others. Cute little bunch you have there! My 7 WH's are really changing in their markings and feathers. I can actually tell almost all of them apart now. One is darker than any of them, and... -
Welsh Harlequin
ooohh! Congratulations!! I am sure I speak for everyone when I say we'd like to see pictures! Maybe someone can identify the silver and gold phase for you. I had suspected one of mine was a gold, and another member confirmed that during the firs or second week. She had a pink bill and was quite... -
Clean duck water and free food. Aquaponics Duckaponics
Thank you for being so willing to share the information! This looks like a really really awesome set-up. I'm curious if anyone else ended up building a similar set-up since this was posted? Would love to see other variations! Like you mentioned deputychicken21 it would probably work best to put... -
My DIY duck waterer
Thank you for responding! :) I'll have to mention this idea to my husband, very good point about the pressure being too much. If bigger (sewer size?) pipes were used it would be really ideal if the ducks were still able to submerge their heads a little. Maybe have a collection area and two pipes...
