    Moving to the desert, any advice regarding coop construction?

    Hi all! Long time no post, we just purchased a home in the high desert (yucca valley) we will be moving our flock of 6 over. There are lots of predators so I am a tad concerned on building the coop. I’m also wanting to get some chickens and I’m assuming I should build them their own little...

    Introducing ducklings to adult ducks help!

    Hey friends small update I’m rehoming all 4- but they are open to me taking back the Cayuga once she’s older. Any ideas of when a good age would be for her to come back? We are also wanting to redo the coop so the ducks can roam the yard when we are outside more

    I’m going to try this week, if it seems not ideal I may have to consider rehoming all ducklings. The Cayuga was such a shock it would be hard to let her go. I’m sure it will work itself out, my ducks were being picked on by the new/older ducks and they worked it out.

    Honestly guys this is horrible my khaki Campbell’s lay amazing eggs but they are definitely my least favorites at times. They are loud and mean to other animals and ducks I don’t see them not picking on the babies for a long while would you say babies at 1-2 months can protect themselves more...

    Confirmation of bumblefoot.....?

    I cured my bumblefoot on three ducks thanks to this form. I would first make sure the environment is sanitary (vet suggested that to me) we did antibiotics and epsom soaks. It wasn’t easy. I also used colloidal silver and wrapped their feet (vet gave me it). Mine was worse then what yours looked...

    Hey friends I’ve posted in here before about having ducklings and about my ducks also having bumble foot (I cured it thanks to the advice) Currently we have 4 babies and mom locked in the back of our coop. 4 ducks locked in the front. It’s a bit chaotic and hard to clean. I went out of town...

    Year long bumblefoot

    So I have ducks and I had an issue with bumble foot and used the silver cream on the ducks feet as well and cured the bumble foot in about a month. We also switched to Astro turf so it’s more sanitary

    So I put Momma and ducklings outside. I really want to keep two, I told a woman I would give her the babies is it horrible if I give her two instead of 3? I’m giving her them for free so I feel like it totally should be fine
