    Rooster vs Hawks

    I’m fairly new to chickens. I’ve had my flock for almost a year now. This is my second go around though. The first flock I had was completely wiped out by hawks. Like nothing left at but some feathers. I had 4 hens survive out of the 15. I got some more chicks and now I have 11 hens a little...

    Surprise Breeds?!

    Hello again! Ok duck people help me out here. Last summer I bought two female supposedly pure welsh harlequin ducks and one femal Pekin. I have a male Pekin. I thought it would be fun to try and hatch some eggs so I put three eggs in an incubator (one from each duck) and all three ended up...

    Broody duck hatching

    So Im knew with broody ducks and I have a welsh harlequin who's been sitting on two eggs for at least 4 weeks now. She's been doing so good barely leaving the nest. I hatched some ducklings from and incubator and they are about 4 weeks old now. The big ducks still pick on them pretty bad so I...

    Are my eggs okay?

    So we decided to try and hatch some of our ducks eggs this spring and they have been doing great up till today. Todah is day 10 and they look kind of funny. I'm sure if it's a blood ring or if the embryo is growing attached to membrane...or maybe I'm just paranoid and everything is fine. The...

    Egg Prduction?

    I just recently bought three females two welsh harlequins and one Pekin. I introduced them to my male Pekin. The girl I bought them from said they were excellent layers. She showed me their nest and there was quite a few eggs (it looked like she hadn't collected in a while). I've had them for a...

    Pekin Drake Issues

    This past spring I bought three pekin ducklings not knowing what gender they were. Well my luck they all three ended up being drakes. This is my first time raising ducks so I'm still learning as I go along. They are around 20-23 weeks old now and from what I can't tell mostly full grown. They...

    Lets Talk About How Clean Ducks Are ;)

    I want to see different ways you all have come up with to keep waterers, food, bedding, houses, pens ect cleaner. I know it is understatement to say that ducks are messy but I'm always looking for new ideas on how everyone else deals with this. For my ducks the biggest issue is in their house. I...

    My Pekin Duckling has a Leg Problem

    I'm pretty new to raising ducks. I recently bought 3 pekin ducklings. I think 2 of them are around 5-6 weeks old and the other around 3-4 weeks (they didn't tell me when I bought them). One of the older ones has a leg problem. When he was little he kind of stumbled around a lot. I thought it...

    Howdy from Indiana!

    So I am always reading things from BYC and decided I need to set up my own account. I'm pretty new to raising chickens and ducks. Last year I rescued two mallard ducklings. One was attacked by a dog when it was very little...she had a hole that went all the way through her cheek into her mouth...
