Douglas County, CO members!
Hey all. I'm in need of suggestions. We are looking for places to board 1-3 goats. I say one to three because we recently moved to Parker and had to leave our three goats behind with family. Upon recent visits, we've become unhappy with the care they're under, mostly an issue with fresh water...- Wild Hair

Rubber foam mats
I'm trying to plan a semi-perminant floor in a 16x20 greenhouse-styled shed for upwards of 50 layers. I had thought of something I can just sweep and pressure wash off and replace sections if necessary. I've found a dealer of cheap puzzle piece crossfit mats. The soft rubber would be cushion... -
Simple feeding Question..
My 13 runners turned 8 weeks old yesterday and I'm buying them some 16% finisher pellets today (looking into Country Lane All Flock). My question is, at what age do you experienced ducks add a ration of oyster shells? Do you wait for them to start laying or just before? I realize this isn't a... -
Ducklings + Goslings
My 13 runner ducklings arrived a week ago and I have a pair of day-old goslings arriving in the morning(fingers crossed). What are the odds my ducklings won't take a liking to the new members of the flock? Should I have another brooder set up just in case? I've been thinking about it and would... -
First Ducklings Arrived!
I ordered my little runners from Metzers a couple months back and they arrived today after being shipped Monday! 13 happy peeping little ducklings who immediately took to running. They're making it hard to even get any good pictures :lol: My duck endeavor has officially begun and I'm so happy to... -
Geese and PVC feeders
I'll soon have some ducklings and soon after that some Buff African goslings. I plan on making a PVC feeder of sorts and was going to do it out of three inch pipe and fittings. Is this going to be large enough for the geese to use also? -
Bugs and pests
Should preventative measures be taken in my duck run for insects or parasites before my ducks arrive? I am contemplating bug bombing the lean-to area they'll be staying in but don't want to if it's unnecessary. Also,will my ducklings need any wormers or medication upon arrival? Thanks for... -
Waiting list..
I had been eyeballing a pair of Super African geese for a week or so and when I had the funds, they were sold out. I was fortunate enough to get on the waiting list. Does anyone know the likelihood of being lucky enough to snag a pair? Is there anyone out there in the same boat? -
Reliable Online feed
I've got 12 runner ducklings arriving in almost three weeks and I'm curious as to where you all buy your duck feed. I'd like an online source so I can get specifically what's best and not just what's available at Orschelns. About how many pounds of starter feed would it take in total to bring up... -
New from Kansas
Hey all. I'm new to the forum and also new to ducks. I've got 12 assorted runners coming from Metzers in a couple weeks and have been hard at it with their coop. I'm also looking to add a pair of Super Africans to hopefully deter some skunks, unless they don't pair well with runners. Every...- Wild Hair

WooHoo Ducks!
Hey all, I'm a new member for central Kansas (hold the Brownback and Dorothy jokes). I'm beginning my journey in the poultry biz and have ordered runner ducklings who will arrive in a couple weeks. I hope to add a couple of geese but my concern is runners. Any info would be welcomed graciously...- Wild Hair

Millets
Hey guys, first post here. I have a few runner ducks scheduled for delivery in the next couple weeks. I'm in the process of building and setting up their coop and run. I've got a section of the run that's about 12x24 that I will be sectioning off for the first couple months to allow some...
