Yeah I lost quite a few party ducks to bobcats. I mixed my ducks with pekins of different ages and they all did fine. I had to clear out the extra males a few times though.

First I would just double up your efforts to secure your duck and chickens. Once predators know where the grub is they keep coming back. That being said when I was raising khaki campbells, or I should say raising food for the local wildlife, they integrated with other duck breeds, male/female of...

I doubt cannibalism to that extreme unless you have a factory in your back yard. Predator is my guess.

6 Eggs No international shipping. Average hatch rates on shipped eggs are about 60%. I cannot guarantee what you will get. I hope that you get 100% but reality is you will probably not. Shipped eggs are a little risky. These eggs are a mix. Some will be blue andalusian, and some will be a...

4 months old $12 (2) BA (1) BAxSLW also 1 BA and 1 BAxSLW I'll do $4 for roosters 3 Months old $8 (8) I'll edit when I do an exact head count of which is which and how many roos 2 Months $5 (13) Again I'll get back with head count when they aren't all running around like chickens with...

Just be careful if your using permethrin and you have cats, as its highly toxic to cats.

Yeah I have 3 100 lb dogs. There better not be any wild animals in the yard.

About a week ago I noticed something at night was knocking over my 5 gallon buckets of chicken feed and taking the tops off. I'm thinking racoon so I decide to set up my live trap. Well about two hours later I CAUGHT SOMETHING! Yep our youngest cat was in there sleeping. Well the next night I'm...

Apple cider vinegar always works for me in times of stress.

I wouldnt force feed him. Just keep wound cleaned out. As long as hes drinking water he'll get hungry eventually. Since the attack was recent he could still be in some shock. As for bandaging I tend to just clean the wound with peroxide two or three times a day, and just keep an eye on him and...

I'm sure she'll be fine. Probably won't be picked on enough to be a problem if she is picked on at all. Just keep and eye on things and drink some calming tea.

So I just found out what comes from a SLW roo and BA hen. The not so proud father: And my other chicken nuggets. Some are fathered by this guy:

15-30% first 18 days then 65%+ during lockdown. As for hairline crack I'd say only one way to find out....

Should be fine to put them in even if they are a couple of days apart. I'd run humidity way lower than 60% if your incubator has grooved for water, I'd put just a little water into one of the grooves and let it dry out before adding more water. Day 7 when you candle you should be able to get a...

Sevin dust will definitely get rid of fleas. I wouldn't use it very often considering it is poison. Maybe try to DE first. Clean out coop, I put it under the bedding and mix it into it. Also put some where your birds like to dust bathe. Make sure it's not pool grade DE it's gotta be food grade...
