We have chickens, runner ducks and guineas that all free range during the day.
I cant keep the chickens out of the duck food and the ducks out of the chicken food. (The guineas were raised with the ducks, so they think they are ducks)
Is there a food that is okay for all them?
Thanks in advance.
This is my second hatch using an incubator. The first was chicks that went great. I got some duck and guinea eggs at the same time and put them in. Now, I dont know when to start lockdown because the ducks take alittle longer than guineas?
My questions
When should I start lockdown?
Should I...
I just finished my first hatch!! 16 out of 24. not bad for first time. humidity was 40-50% days 1-18 and 60-65% during lockdown. Worked good for me!!
Good Luck.
This is my first time hatching and have acouple questions! Yesturday was hatch day for my 24 eggs.

I have eggs hatching in an LG incubator!!! The hatch day is today, but they started hatching yesturday and I now have 9 cute fuzzies. There are still 15 eggs to go. The chicks are being really hard on the other eggs and some have been in there for almost 24 hrs, do I turn the shower on (they are...
Looks nice!!
I need one. I am new to ducks-so if you dont mind a question
Do they stay in there in the winter months? Do you put anything on the bottom?
I like the idea of fencing on the bottom, but I need to plan for cold winter months!!
Rick68- do you know what kind of ducks you got? I'm so jealous, I dont even have mine yet. I want to incubate them....but I need eggs first.
Some breeds dont fly, so lets hope you got those!!
My husband laughed at me when I said I was going to use the tub, but it works great!!
Good Luck
I am taking the plunge and expanding passed chickens. We have 3 coops for the chickens housing about 50 total.
Now I'm thinking a couple ducks wouldnt hurt, right?
Anyways, I would love any suggestions for their house. I am in the planning stages so anything is possible.
I say I want about...
If anyone is interested in Clarence, please let me know. I work this afternoon, but will get in touch with you this evening. He is about 12-14 months old.
Can you bring one chicken to sell/trade/give without signing up? I have a roo(pic below) that just isnt nice to people. All of our birds free-range, but Clarence here attacks everyone that comes in the yard including me and my kids. I cant keep him, but cant crock pot him either. I will be...
32 out of 32!!!!!!! Great day. Hope it continues all summer. Make up for the days in the winter when we got 6....or 2.....or 1. Those were the days when we couldnt even think about how much it was costing us, but wonderful summer is upon us!
Looking for some guinea keets in Southern Vermont.
Right now we have only chickens, but have an empty coop. Thought we might try to keep the tick population down!
Looking for a variety and not too expensive.
Can get them from the local supply store for $4.60 in May. But hate to wait that...
