    Ducks gone!

    Spock, I did take care of a ground hog that was eating my garden (and maybe the ducks if they eat that sort of thing) with my litttle .22. I am a believer in protecting my own and if I caught a 2 or 4 legged predator i would confront it with a shotgun if need be. Not gonna let somebody or...

    Ducks gone!

    Well, it's been a while since I updated yall on our ducks. I went and bought 2 more Welsh Harlequin ducklings and they did fine for a while. We decided to put them into a different pen. It is the pen I had our chickens in before I got our coop/run finished and the same one I had our new BSL in...

    Question about good breeds.

    I really like my RIR's, Barred Rocks, and Black Sex Links. I have White Leghorns too but they are just ok. I woudl love to have some Blue Andalusians. That is a good looking bird! I guess I would have 1000 if I had room and $ to build coops for them all.

    15-25 hens and coop/run size

    I that the size of your coop, run, or both? If it is your coop then you should be able to handle 100+ chickens with a run that is 1000 sq/ft. If that is the size of you run then 40 chickens will be your # and you will need a coop 160 sq/ft. If that is combined coop/run then 30 will be about it...

    Ducks gone!

    Well, I went ot the flea market in Crossville Saturday and found two more teeny tiny Welsh halequin babies. They are so small compared to the one that was left by the duck snatcher. I can't believe how much they can grow in a weeks time. Amazing! Oh well, DW is very happy with the new little...

    Ducks gone!

    Thanks yall. I am just about sure it had to be a person that did it. I went home and looked and DW showed me where the cage was and there is no way an animal moved it that far and not turned over the water bowl. I just can't figure out who or why for that matter. There is all kinda stuff in the...

    Ducks gone!

    It is very small wire, like 1/2" X 1" wire. They couldn't even stick their heads out of it. The cage had been moved 50 feet away from the original location too. You think a coon could do that? A possibility.
