    Questions about a house duck

    Hi there, I have a very confused Dominique hen that went broody on me. To appease her I got some fertile Pekin eggs, of which she has perched on for 27 days today. It's getting exciting!! Am wondering if you can give me the scoop on having a house duck. There are things I am curious about that...

    Help moving 4 stubborn hens & 1 bullheaded duck - what do I do?

    I have a crisis situation here, but I know it is fix-able, I just need to learn (newbie with chickens). As I said, I have four hens (Dominique) and one Pekin duck. All are about 6-7 months old. Until a month or so ago they all happily shared a small hen house in the evening and free ranged...

    Questions-a-Plenty

    Hi there, I am new to chicken raising and to this forum. Would introduce myself as a noob, as I have seen on other forums, but to be honest I don't know what that means - guess that could be question #1, but it's not something I lose sleep over. When I was a kid I had one pet bantie, and also...
