I remember someone saying that I have a little silver, a silver red breasted, and maybe a tuxedo. Since they have some feathers coming in, why not check to make sure!?
The blackish brown one is named Horris, the silver one is Merdle, and the yellow silver one is Katy
What do these little guys look like to you? (Color wise)
Them trying to snuggle with the water bottle!
I have a video uploading so you can see them better!
I was just wondering if bee keeping in an urban environment would work out. I'm a teen and I go on my roof a lot to escape from my family, and realized there is a lot of unused space up there. So I was planning to have a garden on the roof, and was wondering if it would be possible to keep bees...
Ok, so i have 4 adult muscovies of laying age. I have 1 male balck and white barred/pied, 1 female black and white barred/pied, 1 blue and white (Maybe barred) pied female, and 1 brown and white pied female. This last spring my 2 black and white ones had babies. 1 female had 5 (sadly attacked...
I live in florida, and my cousins ALWAYS find turtles on the side of the road..well my uncle found this little guy and gave it to his 2 daughters. 10, and 7. they didnt have a light, a 1 gallon tank and the water is always freezing. they have had this thing for over 5 months and its still small...
There is a water tub and they havent gotten in yet and yet they do the head down and throw back to get the water on their backs and then they do the wing flap thing, But out of the water!?
Love it when people are soo excited to get their ducklings..i mean why wouldnt they? THEN They figure out they are a HUGE mess and are asking at like 4 days old when they can move them outside!?!?! I just think its so funny! Ironic huh?
I might be getting some...soo i have a few questions.
1. are they loud?
2. do they eat what i feed my other ducks?
3. Where do they have their nests? Just on the ground or do i need to make something up higher?
4. Do they need anything special that is different from my domestic breeds?

So how many of you are from this beautiful state?!? How do you deal with the heat and everything for your ducks? Any nice pens that someone wants to share from Florida? What kind of ducks do you guys and gals have? Go FSU!!
I have 2 eatser eggers and im still not sure on gender but i think i have a hen and roo..i have ducks and i know that most breeds dont go broody but my muscovey girls are sitting on nests..that is 1 still is the other was attacked by my dog and passed. Do you think easter eggers would go broody...
On regular mallard derived species you lockdown on day 25. lockdown meaning? No turning higher humidity and lower temps or higher? What day is lockdown for muscoveies since its 35 day incubation? These might be mules or hinnies so would it change the incubation period? I have mine at 98.6-99.6...
So as most of you know i was trying to let anyone of my ducks go broody, then one day i go out and find a nest out of the blue. Never seen it before. Then 3 days later have my free ranging Muscovy go wild broody on me. Then i cant find one of my other scovie hens and look under the shed to find...

Anyone have seagulls? Is it even legal? I think they are beautiful even though i live in florida and see them almost everyday. i think it would be cool to see if any one had them and they'r setups!
I have been leaving the eggs from the girls in the laying area and one of them seems to be scooping them all up and putting them in a pile..she isnt sitting at all from what i have seen but they are in a pile. I put them all in the nest box and now they are in a neat kind of pile outside of the...
Just wanted to give an update of my ducks and their pen. I did a lot of work on it this weekend..well what I think is work! I made a terrace kind of thing/barrier so the dirt wouldn't go through the fence and them escaping. Also I made a type of wall out of walking stones so that dirt didn't...
My 2 Welsh Harlequins are laying 1 egg a day, and this fine morning i found 3!!!! I think one of the scovie hens is laying..Probably Bubbles because i saw her come out of the hutch when i found it! It was even in the nest box with 1 other egg. The 3rd egg was on the ground right by the nest box...
