    Duck Move

    Looking for some guidance... I have 18 quackers and I'm looking at moving about 9 hours away. Nothing is said and done but I want to be prepared with whatever I need should things happen as I hope.

    Rusty red duck?

    I realize it's early but a pair of the mixed ducks I hatched have developed an interesting color and I'm curious if anyone has seen it. Best I can figure is they're khaki and runner cross based on their features. I have a khaki drake and runner/pekin/khaki/rouen/cayuga/rouen+mallard ducks.

    Toilet Duck Waterer Idea

    So I was thinking.... You know how our birds are pigs with their water and need new daily etc...? Has anyone ever made a toilet into a duck waterer? Fill the back with water (or hook up a hardline/hose without a tank) and hit the flush daily to clear the old and get the new in then bury it down...

    Just Hatched Trio

    Earlier today I had some ducks make their way into the world. My guess is rouen (center), khaki-runner cross (right), and cayuga (left). All doing well and rouen is starting to dry already. Very interesting to see the result of a khaki drake & cayuga/runner/rouen/mallard/pekin. 5 more eggs -...

    Incubator questions

    1) There are about 30 different answers on the internet. Trusted sources that don't corroborate. etc... - I've been staying around 50% humidity and 99*F for primary, 70% and 98*F for lockdown. Is this roughly correct? I have analog thermostat so I can't keep it exact without redoing that...

    Raised/Small Coop Design?

    Looking for a design for a smaller coop that could be raised. 2-3 chickens max. A good nesting spot would be amazing as I'm looking to have silkies sitting on eggs. Some sort of tray for pull out cleaning would be nice. I have a few ideas but looking for stuff people might have down already.
