    Here is a common question - What breed are these?

    Here they are about 5 weeks old. Here they are at 3 weeks. They are big and all white now at 11 weeks old, I don't have a recent picture. I am thinking they are Pekin, but not sure.

    Post your Duck names!

    Here are Banana, Aflac, and Captain Squirts. This was about a month ago, they are a lot bigger now and all white. Not sure if they are Pekin or White Layers or what. Got them at Tractor Supply on February 21st. They were two weeks old then, so about 11 weeks old now. These are our first ducks ever.

    Old hens and "water bottom"

    I am the friend. I am going to check my coop tonight when I get home, but my 6 - one year old hens seemed fine this morning, as do the three juvenile ducks. Could it be something from the ducks? They were in with the hens and rooster for about a week before the two old hens were picked up by...

    Gonna miss the chirps...

    Get a baby monitor. That way you can be any where in your house and still hear them. I'll miss the chirping too.

    Finish this sentence: "You know you're addicted to chickens when..."

    When you sit at the brooder waiting for the chickies to wake up to hold them.

    Closed Eyes at 6 days

    She is doing great. Still the smallest of the bunch, but tough. I have marbles in the water, now that they are almost two weeks old do I still need them?

    Closed Eyes at 6 days

    Thanks. I put warm water on her eyes and I put some sugar water in a dropper and she drank it up. So I kept her out and had a bowl of sugar water which she loved. This morning she seems better.

    Closed Eyes at 6 days

    My chicks are about 6 days old. I noticed last night one is keeping its eyes closed a good amount of time, there is no crust or goo. And its eyes were open before this. Doesn't look like it had been pecked by the others. Suggestions on what to do? Tonight I plan on dabbing them with warm water...
