    Will ducks go in a "house" and use a nipple waterer?

    This is probably a stupid question. I'm thinking about getting ducks and want to know if they'll go up a ramp and into a chicken house. We have a storage building we converted into a chicken house and this is where I'm planning on keeping their feed and using an existing nipple water system as...

    Red Golden Bachelors

    One of my friends has recently discovered my Red Golden Pheasants. She's in love with the male and has no desire to breed. I've heard of others keeping multiple males together. Is it ok to keep multiple males together as long as no hens are around? Would one male rather be by himself or would he...

    Jack Russell that Bolts

    I have a male (neutered) JRT that is about 6 years old. Other than some aggression issues with other male dogs, he's very well-behaved and was the star of his obedience class. However, if you let him out of his lot, he runs. Don't get me wrong, he can run all he wants. But, he gets his mind on...

    Medicated Feed

    I always keep the label from the bag I'm currently feeding in the container I store my feed in. I was feeding my RG's yesterday and something on the tag caught my attention, so I looked closer. Apparently, I've been feeding them flight developer with BMD. Stupid me for not double checking when...

    What do I need to know when they hatch?

    What do I need to do when (if) my pheasant chicks hatch? How do ya'll brood? I was thinking about putting them out in the pheasant house with a draft block and the heating lamp. I also have a guinea pig cage I can brood them in inside the house (did this when I got my chicken chicks), but I...

    Can you place clutches in the incubator at different times? More specifically, can it be done successfully in a small incubator (Little Giant)?

    Sneezing - Nasal Discharge

    My Red Golden hen has always sneezed occasionally. But, yesterday, my DH said she sounded congested, and this afternoon, I noticed what appeared to be nasal discharge. She looks like she's got debris stuck on her beak. I'm thinking about going out there after dark tonight and getting her off the...

    What are the parameters for incubating pheasant eggs. Temp, humidity, incubation time, etc.... Specifically Goldens. I'd also appreciate any other tips ya'll might have!! Thanks! ETA: Can you stagger them? For example, add one clutch this week, then wait a week and add a few more?

    Critique My Pen

    We finally got our pheasant pen to where we could put our pair of Red Goldens in it. Eventually we'll split it into three sections for different groups. Let me know what ya'll think, if you see any major deficiencies. The inside: View from the inside to far corner of lot: The whole thing:

    Can you tell me about my Red Goldens

    I got these back in August from an acquaintance of mine. She said they were pure Goldens, but I'm not sure where she got them from. I finally got around to taking some pictures of them today. It's just two birds, but various pictures of each one. Frank: Fran: Thanks!!

    Pheasants with Chickens - Another Angle

    Ok, I know everyone says not to keep pheasants with chickens; the chickens can pass disease to the pheasants. Someone is giving me some pheasants they've raised with chickens their entire life. Is it safe to assume, if they haven't gotten ill from chickens yet, they're not gonna? I know they'll...

    Commercial Feed

    So, lets say someone was to get hold of some feed that was excess from someone who has commercial houses. The feed would be intended for grow-out of breeding layers (ie, they're the hens used to make the terminal cross for meat birds). Let's say this someone got this feed, but the people they...

    Honeycomb Cereal

    So, I'm at the grocery store the other day and I see that they have Honeycombs Cereal on sale. I thought to myself "I loved that stuff as a kid, and it's on sale, let's get some." So I did. Fast forward to yesterday morning at breakfast, and I'm settling down with my bowl of Honeycombs. I don't...
