    Crazy duck help

    Ha Ha , my two females do this to each other. Sometimes the wrong way round and sometimes across each other. So funny to see. The best bit is afterwards they just go crazy for a while running about and flapping and sometimes jumping into the pool. Great to see and funny to watch !

    Introducing my ducks to chickens

    I had to remove my roo from the coop as he scared the ducks. The ducks live with 2 docile RIR and one silkie cross and one 3 month old chick that the silkie hatched out even though not her egg. So quite a mixed bunch but all happy. pic of mum and baby on avatar

    Pics of my 5 week old chick. Any ideas boy or girl ?

    Thanks for the comments. I did think it was a pullet but thought maybe I was just hoping it was. So thought I would get someone elses opinion. She is the only chick we have so I am really pleased. Her and mum will be going in with 2 other chickens and 2 ducks so will be very happy. Beryl.

    Duck Pond/pool pictures

    Here is our pond for our 2 ducks. Made out of 2 pallets, sawn lengthways and screwed together to make a frame. We put blocks in bottom covered in carpet tiles, black liner and filled with water. DH put a drain and pipe in bottom for easy emptying and refilling. When we had a plastic kiddie pool...

    Mum and chick back with others.

    Thank You. At the moment mum and chick have the wire between them and the ones they are going in with. I deliberately put them next to each other so they can get used to it. Chick still sleeps under mums wing at night so was not sure if a bit too early yet ? What do you think ?
