    Hello all! Do any of you guys keep ducks as pets (IE- not for food!) I have been tossing around the idea of rehoming my ducks.....my female (a rouen mix) is pretty loud, and though the neighbors haven't said anything, i feel really bad about all the racket she makes. She's a great layer and a...

    Hey does anyone have some fertilized eggs or day old chicks they would want to sell? We just put up a 13/16 coop with attached run for my 4 hens and we are wanting to add 2 or 3 to the flock. I would LOVE to add a little duckling to the mix, if anyone has some ducklings being hatched. :)

    Does anyone here own ducks? There is a duck in the San Bernardino City Shelter (1 1/2 hrs from San Diego) that is going to be euthanized soon if he isn't adopted. He is currently in a small cage. :-/ His adoption fee is only $5. Please send his info to anyone you think might want too save...

    Uggghhh I just hate it because my girls LOVE to be out in the yard. If I come into the yard they will all start sprinting towards me, flying and jumping around, they are so cute and have so much fun being out there. I guess the safest bet would be to build them a large chicken tractor so i can...

    That's a really awesome idea....thinking that a hot wire around the top might be enough to stop him. :)

    They have a coop and run that I lock up at night, so they are safe from raccoon, etc when they're sleeping. I have a mastiff mix who has a fixation on fuzzy things, so if I left him out to "protect" the girls, I may end up with a couple of accidentally maimed bantams. The only thing that is an...

    So last night I had a near-death experience with my girls..... I have a flock of 4 pullets, 1 RIR, 1 Australorp, 2 Blue Silkie Bantams....they are all very sweet, follow me around the yard, etc. LOVE my girls!!!! I house them in one of those bolt and snap coops from the internet, with a coop...

    Have you tried using DE? A lot of people use it to keep creepy crawlies out of their coops.....but a teensy bit of caution needs to be used because it is a very fine dust (so don't go overboard.) We sprinkled some around their coop and a little bit inside of it where they were getting in and so...

    3 weeks ago I rescued this absolute HUNK from a high kill shelter on the day he was scheduled for euthanasia. Unfortunately for him, he was a Pit Bull in a shelter that is overcrowded with Pibbles and from the moment he stepped foot into that place he was in danger. I have been doing dog rescue...
