    Questions about breeding Rouens

    Okay so our ducks will be 20 weeks around the middle of February, around when there will be enough light for egg laying and finally maybe warm enough for breeding. Do I need an incubator or do Rouens go broody enough to hatch their own? Do yall eat the unfertalized eggs? About how many...

    Limping chicken

    So we have a chicken that is limping but shows no signs of bumble foot or infection. When I checked her leg the only difference was that on one foot the foot closed when I put my finger in the center and on the other side that didnt happen. Any thoughts as to what could be wrong? She isnt acting...

    Water needs??

    Okay I know that supposedly ducks drink about .25 gallons of water a day. We are currently going through more than 5 gallons a day between our 9 ducks (5 weeks old) and our 10 chickens. So far today I have given them 16 gallons of water. I'm hoping they don't go through it all but this is...

    Smelly

    Any suggestions for mitigating the smell? We just got 9 ducklings and have them in a brooder with woodchips for bedding. I wouldn't mind the smell if they were outside (and I wasn't pregnant) but because they're only a week old and it's getting down to nearly freezing at night here, they're...

    Friendly lap chicken

    Hand embroidered egg gathering bags

    I am embroidering bags to use as egg collection bags for myself and was wondering if anyone else would be interested in having one. Mine has a cow and a chicken on it, can always do just the chicken. Obviously ones sold would not be stained with gatorade, I am letting my toddler help with this...

    Any advice for someone new to ducks

    We are getting some rouen ducks at the end of the month. We got 8 hens and 1 drake because we plan to house them with our chickens so we knew we needed more than enough hens to keep our chickens safe. We are hoping to get some ducklings this coming spring. Any advice for someone new to ducks?

    Eagle attack

    So we were free ranging our chickens for a bit today, we have quite a few predators in the area so we dont do it for long or without watching them. I made the mistake of watching them from too far away and an eagle swooped down and tried to make off with one of our chickens. She is mostly...

    Hi!

    Hi, I am brand new to chickens, we just got our first flock this summer. We have 5 Brahma chickens and 5 Americana chickens. We are adding in 9 Rouen ducks later this month. So far the best part of this has been seeing my kids engage with the chickens. My kids are a bit scared of our 2 cows but...
