    Mill Food Recycler for chickens

    Truth! We've got a pretty good base in our run. Between stall pellets, wood chips, leaves, and straw, it is dry all the time. Well, except for the duck poo, 😆

    Mill Food Recycler for chickens

    I really like our Mill food recycler. It works really great for our household. I would normally throw scraps into the run and let the girls destroy them. EXCEPT...they wouldn't destroy them. Instead, they would leave enough behind and it would rot and stink. Then, there would be be flies and...

    Pea gravel a slimy mess

    As the title says, the pea gravel is not working. It's not working. Im so tired. The flies are now in charge. I am almost hating going out to the coop each day. 12x12 run. Half mulch. Half pea gravel. The pea gravel was added to help keep the ducks from exuberantly turning the entire run...

    Ducks getting brooder wet and gross

    When mine were little, I used a dog bowl as their water dish. That very quickly became the water bowl they jumped in, bathed in, and knocked over. I took a piece of chicken wire and bent it to fit over the top. It worked really well. The little faces could get in there and wash nostrils/eyes...

    Ducks keeping pets

    Okay this is obnoxiously adorable. I know my ducks though would be doing the attention behavior so that I'd let them eat the mice,... my ducks are food-whores, lol

    I see the pine pellets in the nest... how does that work for you? Cleaner eggs? Smell?

    Well, I would never try to keep people from happiness, so, yes... buy all the ducks! 🤣

    Golden 300.

    They are FAST as ducklings. Like, crazy fast. Encouraging them to coop-up was a struggle for a bit because they had zero qualms about ditching the other ducksmates and running in other directions, lol. It resolved itself after a week or so. The two I have prefer to lay in a box nest inside...

    Golden 300.

    I've got a couple golden 300 females right now. Great layers. Pretty consistently getting 5 to 7 eggs per duck/week. They LOVE foraging and are constantly looking for bugs and weeds to eat. As far as friendliness, they are definitely skittish but, not terrified of people. They will eat...

    How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

    I freeze them into little single serve trays (like silicone muffin trays) so that I can use them when the girls are not laying as much. I do still give some away though too.

    How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

    Three today 😊 I've got a fourth one on the way too! I have a pekin that feels that sunrise must be a conspiracy and she doesn't lay until later. It's quite funny on the days that she lays... she has a dance she does. Wiggle butt and squat ( very noticeable, lol)...then plop 🤣
