Hi friends,
I wanna share my just finished project. The duck pond with a swirl filter and raised garden bed.
It took me a lot of time (and money) for the trial and error. I need to gather fragments of informations from youtube and internet.
My super bad handyman skill doesn't help either...
Hi I have a male khaki campbell and four female golden 300z.
The female have been laying eggs. They are about 6-8 months old. I want to start trying to get them naturally hatch their eggs and have new ducklings.
Can you all please share some tips, pointers how to do it?
Do I just stop...
According to Metzer, one of these should be male Khaki Campbell and the rest are female Golden 300.
I have a hard time telling the difference.
Can you all help me? Or Metzer got it mistaken?
Hi folks, looking for input as my 4 1/2 weeks checkpoint.
I am wondering if these ducklings can spend most days outside already?
Seems like too early from their age, but looks fine from their behavior and feathers.
Weather in Seattle is around 50s during the day.
Thanks in advance.
This is the first time I am trying to brood ducklings after successfully brooding chicks three times. It's much more difficult, expensive, and requires more maintenance for ducklings. No matter what variations of anti-mess waterers I use, they still require more maintenance and cleaning than...
Hi friends!
Looking for advise for my 3 1/2 weeks ducks.
I am trying to bring the ducklings from my garage to my former chicken coop (OverEZ Medium Coop) when they reach Week 4.
Temperature outside is still in 40s, but I am planning to put the heating plate and heating pad.
Do you think they can...
Hello, wanna ask for feedback here.
My 14 do ducklings very rarely stay under the brooder plate. They love to snuggle together though.
The average brooder temperature is only 68F.
They look active. Should I be concerned and keep working to get them stay in the brooder plate?
Here's the short...
It is beautiful outside in Seattle,WA.
I am thinking to bring the 9 days ducklings to hang outside. Weather reading is 55F wind 3mph. I have the brooder plate available too. Is it okay to leave them hanging outside whole afternoon?
Cinnamon Queen Pullets from Hoover’s Hatchery!
Days old.
1 didn’t survive the shipment :(
3 were shared to neighbors from CL.
Hopefully these 6 will grow big and strong.
I bought 4 Barred Rock chicks from Tractor Supply, but as they grow up, they don't look like Barred Rock.
Can you all experts please help to ID them? My guess is Black Australorp. Thank you!
I tried multiple ways how to keep my chicken off my deck and showered it with poop.
At first, I used animal deterrent. Not helpful at all.
Then, I tried to give them some tough love discipline, but they are more stubborn than my children.
The next one was pretty desperate and ugly. I posted...
Hi, I tried to identify the cause of death, and sorry if I gave some informations that might be random.
One of my chicken had been having a vent gleet for weeks.
I cleaned her vent gleet last week, and she went back to normal.
Then, last night she started being lethargic since last night. She...
I got a coop without the roof (yet) sitting on my garage with the brooder plate.
They are 4 weeks today.
I am thinking to put on the roof and bring the coop outside to sit on my deck
Currently, it is in my garage.
I will still put the brooder heating plate in. Thank you folks!
Yay or Nay?
They are CQ, and got it from Hoover's. Now they are 4 weeks old. They all suppose to be pullets, but Hoover's only has 90% certainty.
Can you guys please help me to spot any cockerel? Thank you :D
I bought them from a neighbor in Craigslist, and she said they are Cinnamon Queens. Can you guys tell if they are indeed looking like CQ? I also do not get why they seem to be two kinds. Two are darker, and the other two are more yellowish. Is it possible that the two are males?
Thank you.
Now my 4 chicks are about 1 1/2 weeks old. This was my first thread:
Since then I bought a bigger tot, and put some window screen on top to prevent them from jumping out.
This morning when I changed the shave, I saw some little red blood on the poop. Hopefully the photo is clear enough since the...
Is there any rule of thumb for changing the wood shed bed?
Our baby chicks are about 1 week old, and there are 4 of them.
The brooder dimension is: 36 5/8" x 21" x 19 1/2"
If I change it often enough (once a day),
can I lysol spray the used one, put them under the sun for few days and reuse...
