    Ducks just started laying, when should I try hatch some eggs?

    My 2 ducks started laying a few weeks ago. I was wondering how long I should wait until I try to hatch some. I have a Pekin and a Khaki.

    I think I need to re-home my chickens

    I'm keeping 5 chickens in my backyard. They are in a pen most of the day but I let them free range in the backyard for several hours every day. The yard is surrounded by a 3-4' chainlink fence. Several weeks ago, 2 of them figured out how to fly up on top of the fence and then hop down to the...

    Housing 2 pairs together?

    Lo and behold what I thought was 3 males, 1 female looks to be 2 males 2 females. There's a Pekin pair and a Khaki pair. Can I keep them housed together? The pen is about 30 sq ft, and then get free range for several hours every day. Is this enough space for the 4 ducks? I don't want any...

    Bug zapper placement

    Mosquitoes, flies, and gnats are driving me crazy in the backyard, but especially the mosquitoes. So, I got a big bad bug zapper. Seems like most people hang them under the roof or something else so it doesn't get wet. I don't have a ready way to do that right now, so I'm wanting to just put...

    NE FL region - want to buy/trade ducks

    Hi all, pretty sure 4 out of 5 of my ducks are males, so I'll be looking to buy (but preferably trade, at least partial trade) the males for some more females in a few weeks. They are 2-3 months old, and I'd prefer the new ducks to be about the same age. I have what I think are 2 male Khaki...

    Am I really that unlucky? Looks like only 1 female

    I have finally (FINALLY) been able to notice a difference in the ducks' voices. They are 2-3 months old (not sure exactly, don't keep track). Of the 5 ducks, there is 1 definite female Pekin. The other 2 Pekins and the 2 Khaki Campbells are very quiet and whispery. I'm so disappointed. I...

    Do I really need a coop? How about just a pen with shelter?

    I'm in North Florida and have 6 pullets and 5 ducks. They are in a small temporary pen with no coop, just a plastic roof, some branches for perching and a Rubbermaid bin on its side if they feel like going in there. Can I do this on a bigger scale? Most of the year is very warm to hot, and...

    Is this an Ameraucana?

    I was told it was. When I bought my chicks, I got 2 black sex-link, 2 barred rocks, and 2 Ameraucanas. The other Ameraucana has the greenish legs that I've read about, but this one doesn't. It also doesn't seem to be as "fluffy" around the neck as the other. Any ideas?

    Why aren't they eating bugs?

    I have 6 chickens, around 8-9 weeks old, and 5 ducks, around 6 weeks old in a pen outside (temporarily together while the bigger separate pen is being built). They don't eat bugs at all. Are they not old enough? Did I just pick weird birds? The flies are driving me crazy outside and I was...

    Where does the light go?

    Chicken-keeping newbie here, but I've been reading a bit and got my new chickies yesterday. Chicken enclosure construction is about to begin, but where do I put the light? My plan is to build a smaller chicken house inside a larger chicken pen/run. Do I put the light inside the chicken house...
