Count me in, I am from Laurentian Valley, west of Ottawa. Mom, to many mix breed layers and some Khaki Campbell ducks. Glad to know there are others on here!!

Here are my 4 Khaki Campbells. I was told that the older ones (about 9-10 weeks) are female and am sure one is (she quacks). I have heard the quack but when I am around they all just mumble to each other!! Hoping!! One has the green colour to its beak and the other has the blue...

I am assuming you were refering to my inquiry of Welsh Harliquin Ducks???

After having my broodies hatch out some mixed eggs from a friends farm I have discovered that I am the proud owner of a to be light coloured silkie. Is "whats-it" going to be okay with alot of other standard sized girls? Is there a way to sex them? I dont even think I have ever seen what a...

If I understand you correctly you are adding the chicks and momma from a group that has already been in the coop together, yes?? If that is the way of it then you shouldnt have any issues. Mommas will take care of their chicks and protect them from others. I would do it sooner then later...

They cant tell time and they really dont count the days......but they can turn against new chicks even if done right. So that being said go for it. Make sure they are no more then a day old and putting them under her at night is a good idea. That way she wakes up and has peepers. If she is...

I was inspired by my girls last year to use PVC pipe and cover my veggie garden (25'x35') with a hoop house type idea that easily becomes a greenhouse with vapor barrier over it. I have fencing on all sides and the girls cant get...

I am near Ottawa, Ontario and am looking for Welsh Harliquin Ducklings. Anyone have any within say 2 hours of me or are willing to ship day olds??

I could not agree more with the advice given here.....the great part is everyones situation is different. Personally.....when I notice that my girls are broody I break out the plastic easter eggs. I have 2 large rabbit cages and move them, the nest and the plastic eggs into that. I have...

Way to go.....my 2 columbian crosses went broody on me after only a month laying and they did a great job!! They are on the second round now.....Our 6 Orphingtons hatched in February!! Cant wait to hear how she does.!! Will post pics of my two soon.

It is your signature. You add it in through your profile. Depending on how new you are to the site you may not be able to yet. Cheers

Well I am back.......Mallow did it again. After hatching out 5 Orphingtons for me in February she has decided to get back in the mood!! Now I only have to find her some real eggs. She has taken possession of 7 plastic easter eggs so far!! Will get a pic of her as soon as I get real eggs...
