Hi, sorry about your duck! What is his usual diet like, and what kind of pen setup do you have? Do you have pictures of it? Just trying to get an idea of what could have happened. What does his poop look like? When did you last see him eat?
I love the baking contest and I'm sure I have things to enter in the preserving one. Not sure about fair food though, haha. I'll have to look. I can definitely enter something in all 3.
Hi! We just finished it actually. I'll share some photos! It's been working great so far.
We ran electric to it and installed an extra vent. Cheap vinyl flooring and insulation in and working on putting pvc paneling over it ...
Paneling done
Roosts in
Chickens first night in!
Still...
I get a whole truck and trailer load of coarse mulch like wood chips for free from a tree trimming service in our area. They have a giant pile and anyone can come take however many they want. They even will load them for us if we call ahead. They work amazing in runs, even my duck pens stay dry...
They were announced this afternoon.

You should be able to get a 5 lb bag at your local feed store. But yeah you can definitely mix it in to regular feed 50/50 to use up. It keeps them fuller longer. I actually raised all of my chicks on nutrena meatbird exclusively this year and they've done amazing. Good luck!
Also late, but glad to hear she's doing well! I thought I'd post for any others having the same issue, but switching to a higher protein Gamebird starter or meatbird starter will frequently pull them out of it. I've saved many runts this way. It's safe to give to all of them for a week or two...
I love this, haha! Will any unclaimed ones be named Moony? :lol:
I'd like #3. My username kind of sucks for a name, but my real name is Madison/Madi. Some here call me gee. Sounds like baby talk though, lol. Pick whatever, I don't care 😅
