We've been hearing a faint duck call now for a few days. Now we have found the source. There is a duck nesting in one of our trees. This is very neat as I am a huge fans of ducks and have owned call ducks in the past. My concern is that the nest is over 30 feet up and inside the tree. Also...
I lost a duck today. She was a runt so to speak and stayed in the pond too long last night and it got below freezing. So now I'm left with a white male and female that I am going to get rid of and thought about keeping the grey male. He should be ok by himself would he or should I just let...
I have a call duck who has been setting on five eggs. They are rotten and need to be tossed. What is the best and least tramatic way to take them and have her get back to normal?

Ok so I have a chicken who thinks she needs to set. So my wife tossed a couple call ducks under her to see what happens. Anyone ever do anything similar? Will this work? How long will it take for the eggs to hatch?
The whole thing is a little creepy to me. The whole ducks thinking the...
Ok I had a friend stop by. They had a baby goose with them. Apparently some people had three of them and dropped them off at a local park. This one is the only survivor.
It's grey with a white poof on it's head. I will not have room for this feller so I will be needing to find someone to...
My local farm store has straight run Bantams. I've been wanting some but I do not want the roos. I've googled it but I'm wondering what people here have done with success to sex chicks.

I just got my firts egg from my call ducks. It was definetely bigger then I imagined them to be. Anyway, should I provide them with a type of nesting box?

She's very healthy but too loud for my area. That's her in the middle.
The other female is a runt and is very quiet. I don't really want to get rid of her but she is very noisy. She is very fun to watch but is a biter. Which is hilarious to watch. Let me know by way of PM if interested...
Arizona??? in the superbowl?? Really??? Sounds funny doesn't it?
Kinda bitter sweet as I don't mind the Cards but I don't care for Warner too much. I guess I got burnt out living in Iowa and hearing how he came from here and sacked groceries. Good story but it sure got old after a couple...
No, really. RATS!! I've been battling rats for some time now. The boy and I were out today with the pellet guns shooting at them but they are pretty quick and pretty brazen to be out and about in the daylight like this. We've been trying many things to kill them. I have the traditional...
Staying warm!!
It's 5:45 am and I'm heading out to get the car started to warm up so I can head to work. It's 0 degrees F right now with 21 mph winds. I'm not sure what the windchill is but I'm sure it's gonna be a pleasent sprint to the car and back into the house. The high is...
I have a hen that is setting. I have no roo so none of the eggs are fertile. What should I or can I do for her? How long will she sit there for?

She died while I was at work. She was outside and had some blood and some black stuff coming from the business end. Could this have been from an egg laying issue? I had one die last year like that except for the discharge. Any thoughts?

Is there any such creature? I was cruising the net and happened across some pics of wood ducks. Neat looking birds. I would be an interesting bird to have.

I was at my local farm store and found this:

I figured they might come in handy. The reviews I've read said it is not very bright but it is solar powered. I may get me one or two of these.
