    Emus & Fireworks -Help!

    Hello, I got 3 Emus last year. We live in a large property with no neighbors anywhere near. They are in a large fenced area (6ft tall to protect them from predators but we let them roam around almost every day. They are super friendly and curious. Last night there were fireworks sounds, not too...

    Skunks killing chickens

    Update: We have caught 6 SKUNKS so far! Wet dog food did the trick. Didn’t kill them, my husband released them in the mountain a couple miles away, hope they don’t make their way back… we keep covering the edge of the barn with rocks and they keep digging a new hole. We will need to either try...

    Can you help identify ducks gender?

    Thank you for your reply ❤️ If I go by sound then I have one Runner and 2 Cayuga hens. One runner and 2 khaki drakes. I don’t think 3 and 3 is a good balance so I don’t know if I should get more girls or if I should make a separate enclosure for the boys. My husband will kill me either way 🤣

    Can you help identify ducks gender?

    Oh no! I just gave away 4 roosters that were very aggressive (I have 26 hens). I only kept the smaller one, but he’s a little butt whole too 🤦🏻‍♀️

    Can you help identify ducks gender?

    Thank you for your response, I am mostly worried about the Khakis being boys since they don’t quack… hoping they will be late quackers 😆

    Can you help identify ducks gender?

    Hi friends, I am a first time duck mom and was wondering a couple things about duck gender… My babies are about 8 weeks old, so I am aware it’s early but still appreciate your opinions. I read that girls quack and boys make a quieter sound. I hear the 2 Cayugas definitely quacking. One of the...

    Duckling ate a bee

    I just saw a duckling eat a bee, she’s about 4 weeks old. She is acting normal, should I be concerned? Also, there’s ants all over because of the water the ducklings spill all the time, should I do something about it? New duck mom here. I appreciate any input. Thanks ❤️

    Hello Charlie

    Hi, This is Charlie. Actually, I have 2 ducklings that I can’t tell apart so I call them “The Charlies” I am unsure of the breed, some say they look like Pekín, some say Runners. I say they are the cutest thing ever 😍 Do you have ducklings? I would love to see them!

    Normal for pekin ducklings to loose feathers on wings?

    I was about to ask the same question, I have 2 yellow runners, their wings look pink at the edges. I was wondering if they were being picked on. Thank you for unknowingly easing my mind ❤️

    Can you identify the breed of my ducklings?

    Oh my goodness, the runners look so funny, haha… And it makes sense, my yellow ducklings definitely stand taller than all othees ❤️
