    This one is LONG w/ quite a number of pictures. I am on a constant "shoe string" budget. If i want more birds, I need to re-use or purchase items that aren't going to rot out. I also am not a good builder (lumber framing?? NO) and the family is more interested in gaming (D&D/PS4) than in...

    Hoop coop brooder with roll up sides

    Since the kids and I have so much time at home right now, and the demand for locally grown meat and eggs is sky high, we decided to purchase 35 chicks and ducklings. The kids are using it as a homeschooling "project" for math, science and biology. We don't have internet to support online...

    My ducklings are all dying.. HELP!

    Thank you! I’ve been feeding him a homemade mix of grains and seeds (20% protein) + brewers yeast and sprinkled on top. Two of the ducklings died on their back with their legs straight up which was heartbreaking (these were the ones that did not have neck issues but were uncoordinated), and the...

    As the sun slowly crept past the horizon, letting the moon take its place in the sky, Leita slumped into the saddle, atop the giant lizard. The warm, adventurous day had become a cold, quiet night. Stars seemed to suddenly appear, filling the empty space around the moon; the clouds drifted...

    Help needed sudden unexplained dead duck plus entire flock clearly distressed

    since finding and removing the dead duck the flock have calmed right down. but again they have not been upset and disturbed like that on the two occasions before where a duck has died in the enclosure. It reminded me of a video on this page called 50 ducks in a hot tub or something like that...

    Duck pen smell!

    We are having the same issue here, with storm after storm. Nothing ever gets dry this time of year, here. We have a wood floor under our pen, due to local regulations, so we have the same trouble with excess water. I use Sweet PDZ daily during wet months and a few times a week during...

    Leita's face contorted, scrunching up tightly. "Thanks for the offer, but no." The table fell silent, not even a whisper could be heard, and all eyes were on the prince. The guards that stood around the edges of the room had stiffened, their hands perched eagerly on the handles of their...

    Help needed sudden unexplained dead duck plus entire flock clearly distressed

    She said they don't have any close she would have to do it herself. I think you should get some kind of game camera set up to video their coop, run and surrounding area. It sounds like either a predator attacked and then took off or your neighbor did it. Probably your neighbor. I would put up...

    Beautiful pics! Thanks for sharing! We have a huge variety of birds here, too. I discovered the joy of birdwatching from my mother in law, and now one of my daughters in law loves it, too! After visiting here and seeing all the birds at my feeders, when she and DS bought their house one of...

    Call Ducks or Bantams...Crazy Animals Around the Farm

    sounds like a plan. I've been working on getting everyone's coops dug out and replacing their deep litter. Need to get a couple cow panels I can arch over the duck run and cover with plastic sheeting or something. Need to get stocked up on heat bulbs for the co-op lamps for winter. I don't like...

    Mama Heating Pad user questions

    Looks like you have the pad arched much too high. They should be able to touch it easily with their backs. They'll duck to get under. I have a video of mine using theirs the first day. You can see the height is quite low. This was outdoors in freezing weather and the edges were only about 1"...

    ATTENTION ALL WRITERS! C'MON!!!

    Okay, Chapter 4 is here. Also unedited. And I'm seeing so many problems. XD I'm horrible at dialogue and flowery descriptions, so my writing ends up a bit blunt sometimes. :) Sorry. Also, Cluck cluck, that actually wasn't something I had meant to send. I was pretty sure you were aware of that...

    ATTENTION ALL WRITERS! C'MON!!!

    This is really good! First person is difficult to write in, but this is very well written. That's okay! Lol. I get it, it's happened to me before. Thank you! I wanted a little twist on Lucifer, even if it doesn't quite follow everything about the actual Lucifer.
