I'm still learning about how to use this forum and of course learning about my poultry friends.. do you ever stop learning??
These are our lovely girls the day we got them, January 2011. Chosen and named by my kids...
Over summer I painted the coop! Never painted anything in my life and I'm...
My quacker (khaki campbell), Hendrix, is 5 months old. His eyes seem to look like they have 'sleep' around them, they aren't red, not weepy or anything and don't look infected, he does have access to a kiddies pool to dunk his head and do his thing, so shouldn't that keep his eyes clean? Or...
I only have 1 duck and he is my first quacker, a khaki campbell. He was for sure a girl until around 3 1/2 months old when all of sudden his head started turning green, followed shortly by the raspy quack and then around 4-4 1/2 months he got his curl in his tail! I'm not sure if all breeds...
I have wondered this too! I have 6 chooks, 5 happily roost.. 1 prefers to sleep with the duck under the coop
Each to their own I guess!
However when they were wee chicks they did the pile up thing
Hi everyone
I have a 5 month old male khaki campbell quacker, Hendrix. Hendrix lives with my 6 chooks.. it seems he has become very fond of one of our chooks in particular, Kelso. Hendrix and Kelso are INSEPERABLE, if i pick up Kelso, Hendrix starts quacking at me and will follow me everywhere...
We have a trampoline in our backyard.. the chooks LOVE it, they all roost around the edges and walk all over it.. even with my 2yr old jumping on it.. she thinks it's hilarious!
Sorry, this is a never ending post! I found a pic of our coop when we first got it.. you can see the size and what it looks like from inside.. We also put a new lined roof on the coop and nesting boxes, the one that it came with was awful and leaked!
I also painted this old dog kennel which sits up on the corner of our pergola facing into the yard, it has straw in there. He does use it every now and then, the chickens seem to love it, all 6 try to squeeze in there sometimes!!
I posted that my quacker has a bed under the coop as he doesn't use the ramp.. here are some pics! It's raining today so I will post pics I do have atm, I don't have any from inside but it has straw in there, every few days or so I rake it out and put fresh straw in. It's not really any hassle...
Naaawwww i only have 1 quacker and I'm addicted.. I LOVE him to bits and pieces! He even has his own facebook profile.. Yes my family are concerned.. I loved all the pics and duckie homes!
