    What incubators are good to buy for beginners?

    I have been hatching ducks for two years now, but I haven't been incubating and have really just bought fertilised eggs and placed them under my broody ducks. I would like to start incubating so that I am able to take advantage of imprinting (and I am aware of how that sounds) so that my ducks...

    How do you treat ducks for lice?

    Thank you! And I'm pretty sure it is lice.

    How do you treat ducks for lice?

    Usually, we can avoid lice infections, as our poultry bury themselves in wormwood, a natural repellent. But now that it is summer, the wormwood has lost its leaves, so they have no protection from infection. If we use the lice treatment on our chickens, they're fine, but if we spray our ducks...

    Chicken Jokes!

    Well, here are a few more - If no one else wants to add their jokes, you'll have to continue laughing; or cringing, at mine! 🤣 How did the chicken with no legs cross the road? In a KFC bucket. Why do chickens not like bossy roosters? Because they ruffle everyone's feathers. What did the...

    Sickness in chickens

    So, this was a few years ago, with some Rhode Island Red chickens that I had. It just popped into my mind, and I thought it might be good to see if it has happened to anyone else. It has continued to happen, but not to as many chickens as the first time. What happens is, usually in the summer...

    Are drakes unsafe for young ducklings?

    Our ducklings are around 3 weeks of age, and they live in a 15 metre by 10 metre enclosure, though the drake is let out during the daytime.

    Are drakes unsafe for young ducklings?

    Our drake has been somewhat of a bodyguard while our duck has been raising her ducklings, but when I entered their pen, I saw the drake shoving and pushing the ducklings away from the food bowl, getting more violent each time. Is this something I should be worried about? We've separated the...

    Is it okay to sell a duckling to a family without any other poultry?

    The person I bought my ducks from, (the ducks) weren't really in amazing condition - It wasn't that they were moulting, but they didn't look the same as the last time I had ducklings, so I didn't really know whether I could trust the seller. That's kind of why I thought the advice could have...
