    Drake Behavior and Ducklings

    I have 2 pekins, 1 drake and 1 hen that are about two years old. This year I incubated some of their eggs and kept 2 of the ducklings. I allowed them to free range with the older ducks from about 3 weeks on, they'd sleep in their coop with them and eat from the same bowl and seemed to get...

    One hen not laying

    I have eight white leghorn hens that I purchased as chicks last spring. I usually collected 8 eggs every day until this winter when they all stopped laying. When they began laying again this spring, I only ever collect 6-7. I figured one was hiding her eggs (free range), or we just weren’t in...
