    Pond cleaner for Duck pond

    Thanks for your input! Our pond is tiny! Like 3’x3’2’ deep. We have 2 ducks. Where would I put plants? What kind?

    Pond cleaner for Duck pond

    We have small river rocks on the bottom and bigger ones on the sides. It’s too small for plants. No fish. Will get minnows soon for them to snack on.

    Pond cleaner for Duck pond

    Yes, I’m talking about this pond cleaning stuff I saw at Home Depot that says it’s made of Barley and is all natural; safe for fish and wildlife. We have a pump and filter that has these black ball things in it but the water after one week is just

    Pond cleaner for Duck pond

    Does anyone know if you can use the pond cleaner stuff in your duck pond? I’ve seen a few that say safe for fish and wildlife but wasn’t sure if it was actually safe and if anyone uses this type of stuff to help keep their duck ponds clean. We have a small pond with pump and a filter.

    Run for Ducks

    I’ve read lots of posts about pea gravel and most people say it ends up being really stinky. ‍♀️

    Run for Ducks

    Thank you! It’s looking pretty but most importantly I want it to be a safe and fun space for my little quackers! I’m worried the decomposed granite might be too sharp on their feet. Whatever we are doing, we are doing this weekend. I’ve been scouring the inter webs and whatnot but not much info...

    Run for Ducks

    What is everyone using to cover the ground in their duck run? We currently have a short flagstone path that leads to a small pond. The hubs wants to put down a small area of decomposed granite to set a small table and chairs on so we can sit in this area with them. Was thinking of using moss in...

    Chickens hanging out in nest boxes

    Thank you, everyone! I just didn't know if something was wrong or if this was normal behavior I hadn't yet read about. They sure surprise me everyday and I can't believe how much I love these little chickens! :)

    Chickens hanging out in nest boxes

    Their combs and wattles are still small and pale. They sleep on their roost at night for sure. It's just during the day they've started hanging out in them. Maybe they don't like their fan. It's on the fence behind the coop. It's just so hot here in Texas and they have their mouths open and...

    Chickens hanging out in nest boxes

    I think they are still too young to lay just yet. The bedding is messed up with little poops!

    Chickens hanging out in nest boxes

    It's vented, shaded, and we added a fan on the fence to add circulation since we are in Texas and it's HHOOTT!!! I've read they shouldn't sleep in the boxes but I can't really find anything on them hanging out in them during the day.

    Chickens hanging out in nest boxes

    I have a two story coop for my girls. The bottom is their run where their feeders are and the top is where their roost and nest boxes are. They are 17 weeks old and over the last couple of weeks have started hanging out in their nest boxes during the day. They aren't laying eggs yet so why are...
