    Muscovy hen attacking mama and her 5 babies.

    Hi guys. We have 3 Muscovies that are all sisters. A month ago, two of them decided to sit on a nest of eggs. Cinnamon Bun, one of the Muscovies, was all alone with the other ducks (different breeds). After the babies had hatched, I separated one of the mothers, Tink, with her babies and let...

    Rest in Peace- Buttercup and Butterbean.

    Buttercup and Butterbean are both Buff Orpingtons, 4-6 years old. Buttercup died last month due to a freak accident- getting her head caught in the fence and breaking it. It was so upsetting, she was the first chicken I lost. We buried her in her favorite spot. Butterbean died this morning...

    Leg Mites

    Hey guys, I noticed today my three old hens have some gross looking legs. After asking around, everyone said yes, they are leg mites. What is the best way to treat it? The nighttime pen is infested with little flying bugs, we used DE in there but it doesn't seem to be working yet. Does anyone...

    My Family

    Hello everyone! We started getting our farm animals back in June of 2013. We started out with four ducks- Goonder, Gunther, Gunter, and Princess Bubblegum. They were about four weeks old, I think. (I am just dying looking at how cute and fuzzy they are!) Then in July, my mother...

    Showing a chicken

    Hello everyone! I've been thinking about entering Finn in a show soon. I was wondering what kind of process I have to go through. I think he is a Golden Spangled Hamburg bantam. He lives inside, so he does not have lice or mites or anything, 100% healthy. Any tips? Thanks!

    Hey, guys! We have 8 ducks currently, Goonder, Gunther, Gunter, Princess, Lady Rainicorn, Tree Trunks, Beemo, and Marceline. We started out with 4 back in June, and a few months later we realized we need more males, because the 3 boys were picking on Princess (the only female.) We got Tree...

    Duck Outcast Problem

    Hey guys, Before I talk about the problem, I want to say first that they are pets, and we are NOT getting rid of them or killing them. We had 6 ducks before- 4 Swedish blue/indian runner mixes, and two Swedish blue. There were 3 girls and 3 boys. One of the Swedish Blue, Marceline, is...

    Question about adding ducks to existing flock

    It has been 4 days since I got 2 beautiful gray/blue colored Swedes to round out the numbers in my flock of Swede/Runner mix. I now have 3 drakes and 3 hens. The problem is that 2 of my boys are just mean with the new gals. They chase and nip and I have seen a few of the girls' feathers on the...

    Concerns with mating behavior

    Hi everybody. My flock of Indian Runner/Black Swedish is about 17 or 18 weeks old now. I have noticed in about the last week that one of the males has been head bobbing and trying to mount the female. She just swims away and after a few minutes he gives up. The problem is that I have 3m and only...

    Duck drops bottom when walking

    My 4 Runner/Swedish have been home for about 10 days now and have settled in very well. I finally worked up the courage to let them out and that's going well, too. Here is the problem. One of the boys has been dropping his butt as he waddles around but only when they are outside the pen. It's...

    Free Range Ducks

    When should we let our ducks out? We have had them for five days, and they are pretty used to us. But we are getting a horse in the next ten days, and we dont know if we should let them out of their pen now, or after the horse comes. Also, do the ducks stay away from electric fences? Or will...
