    When should I switch duck feed from duckling crumbles?

    The organic crumbles for ducks has 18% protein. Only ONE of the four TSCs nearby carry it! https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/natures-best-organic-feeds-duck-crumbles-25-lb-bm0231c?cm_vc=-10005 I would like to switch to...

    When should I switch duck feed from duckling crumbles?

    Sorry if this has been covered but I do not see an exact answer. I have been feeding my 9-week-old Khaki Campbell and Black Runners the organic duck crumbles from Tractor Supply. I was worried about changing their diet because I am trying to stay organic, or at least non-GMO and this has been...

    12 hour old duckling laying on back gasping.

    Sorry to report that he passed away. =( I am not sure what could have happened unless something in his long escape caused a problem. We sincerely appreciate everyone who tried to help!

    That's what we're hoping! He's just pooped! =) I just wanted to make sure that I am not missing any opportunity to help. My wife is so upset about this little one.

    12 hour old duckling laying on back gasping.

    I hope someone can help me. I just had 6 Cayugas hatch over the last 2 days and the last one took a long time to get out once he externally pipped. He finally worked himself out (after about 12 hours of externally pipping/zipping) and has since been extremely frail. Unlike the others, he just...

    Help-Aggressive duckling

    Thank you for putting our minds at ease! We are just so worried because he is abusing the other 11 girls constantly. Grabbing their wings and pulling (while they scream bloody murder!) and not allowing ANYONE to swim in the pool!

    Help-Aggressive duckling

    I am hoping someone can help me. We have 12 6-week-old ducklings. Only one of them is a drake. (we ordered 10 females and hatched two eggs ourselves.) He has recently started bullying everyone, especially one girl in particular. He walks around looking like he is in a bad mood and if anyone is...

    Can someone suggest a container for 12 duckling brooder?

    Thank you all so much for the awesome suggestions! I am currently constructing their pen and should be done by today with only their house needing to be built next. I modified a chicken tractor to give them field trips and will hopefully be able to transition them outside soon (even if part of...

    Can someone suggest a container for 12 duckling brooder?

    Hello. I have 2 5 day old ducklings and 10 more on the way. The two are currently in a 30-gallon tub in a half bathroom that has been converted for this purpose to keep them safe from the cats. Can someone suggest the right size of rubber or plastic container to keep 12 ducks in for 2 weeks? I...

    Mysterious tiny egg this morning.

    That article says that this happens when a chicken is new to laying. This is what confused me originally because the white layers are 1.5 years old. The only new layers are brown layers.

    Mysterious tiny egg this morning.

    I have white layers and brown layers but the brown layers aren't set to start laying for another week or so with a little luck. This morning when I collected eggs there was a tiny white egg, about half the size of a small egg. The leghorns are 1.5 years old and have been molting and some are...

    Please help-flock trying to kill 9 week old chickens.

    Ok. For what it is worth, the two roosters are bantams so it seemed ok when I was working out the sq footage. The nestboxes are elevated to make the most use of floor space as well. They have been happy and healthy for over a year now. I provide them grass, organic pellets, sometimes garden...

    Please help-flock trying to kill 9 week old chickens.

    I figured the crate they were in that sits inside the chicken yard would have accomplished this. The crate never leaves the yard.

    Please help-flock trying to kill 9 week old chickens.

    Hello. I hope someone can help because we are at wit's end. About 8 weeks ago we bought two little chicks that are just beautiful. They will eventually lay brown eggs and we would honestly like to replace all of our leghorns with these. We have been trying to acclimate them into the 8 hen/2...
