    shingles on ramp for traction?

    Possibly over kill on my part. On my ramp I used wood slats about every foot and in between I stapled fast the foamy stuff you use to line kitchen drawers. They really get a good grip on it and its rubber so stands the weather very well.

    duckling not thriving

    This Sav-A-Chick Electrolyte and Probiotic has allways worked well for me. I get them both at tractor supply. I have used them for all my ducks as I got them from a few days old. I use a gallon water jug dump one packet of each in and use that to mix it. Then dump from there into their water...

    First timer building a duck house

    Congratulations on building your first duck house. I live in south central PA and while not as cold as the Midwest it does get into the negative 0 on occasion. My duck house has a plywood floor and I used marine paint to seal it and painted a few inches up the wall. I use smart board from...

    Killer Raccoons

    My best predator deterrent so far is my two labs. They are inside most of the time but I make sure they poop and pee in the yard around the ducks. Seems to work in keeping the predators away and I am right next to some woods. Barring that, Guineas I understand also can make good guard dogs as...

    Rouen Ducklings tail shaking and mouth open.

    Had ducklings before and don't recall this behavior. Occurs when they are sitting down resting. They act normally when they are up and about. Got them from Metzer Farms on July 9th mail order. They seem to be eating and growing fine. Just wondering what this behavior is. Are they to hot, to...

    New place new pool photos

    Just sharing my 3 ducks. I lost 3 of my females last year and looking to get more. The 3 I lost were all from the same breeder and I raised them from little chicks they all got sick within a few weeks of each other and died within a day of symptom onset. Even my last one who I spent $220 on at...

    Rouen Males not getting along

    I have 4 female rouens and 2 males. I just noticed today the bigger of the males is chasing the other off. This may have been going on for a day or two but not much longer.At night they are all in a 4x8 duckhouse together. During the days they are in a 50x 100 fenced in yard. I was thinking...

    Duckbunker Winterization Ideas?

    In reference to the hardware cloth 1/2" versus 1/4", I haven't really looked at it to know for sure. I like your setup too, it looks pretty cool.
