    Ducks attacked by stray dogs, when will they lay eggs again?

    So a little over a week ago, my 11 ducks were attacked by 4-5 dogs. They killed 7 of my ducks, leaving 1 male and 3 females alive. The surviving male had no injuries whatsoever, 2 females have limps now (one runs sideways, like a crab, now to get away from me if I walk into the pen) and the last...

    Chicks and ducklings

    I have 3 full grown hens, 4 little chickens and 5 ducklings. The big hens would rather eat the chick starter and so my little chicks and ducklings are starting to eat the chicken layer feed. Is this okay?? Or do I need to start seperating them when I feed.

    Should I worry??

    My ducks have started eating the pellets I put out for my big hens. Two of them are still pretty young. Should I worry about this and do something or is it okay??
