    Help! Egg Question

    Thanks gals! We had a feed issue, and were having extra splatty problems and they stayed inside all day(it was negatives two weeks ago), hence, VERY messy eggs. They are deep bedded in shavings and straw because of our extremely cold winters(about a good 10-12 inches easily). I clean the house...

    Help! Egg Question

    Hello there! So things are hairy scary around here. Two toddlers, chaotic plumbing repairs and leaks, house that is only half moved into(ie, we threw everything extra into the basement, and then when the plumbing leaked, shifted it all out of the way, so utter chaos has ensued) and another...

    My duck's leg is hurt

    Going to second Duckins and Amiga's idea--- little extra nutrients would help, and can't do any harm. See if you can find an electrolyte and nutrient powder for her water. It's found at most farm supply stores/ feed stores. Just be careful to get a poultry oriented one, look to be sure it has...

    How many ducks per drake?

    7 because the number 8 hissed at me! Never had a DUCK hiss. Figured I'd better leave that one, the drakes might not like that ha ha!

    How many ducks per drake?

    I just added 7 girls... and the previous owner has the same strain of Pekins as I do. He's raised ducks all his life and said he's never had a problem with drakes or hens picking on each other/losing feathers. He lets his free-range, as I do, and thinks that the large size Pekins keep everybody...

    How many ducks per drake?

    BTW, the two ducks on top of each other in the water in my pic are THE HENS. They hang together, when a drake goes for one... the other runs/swims past him. I think they're guarding for each other! LOL!!! I've seen them use their duck house to play keep away... but never seen any roughhousing ever.

    How many ducks per drake?

    Hmmm... Are my ducks odd? I have a VERY mixed crew as far as breeds go, and have 5 drakes, two girls. Nobody fights, no feathers pulled, nothing. They sleep all together in one big pile. They were all raised together, born just days apart. Is this unheard of? Is it because they are young(less...
