This morning I found a regularly sized egg in the middle of the duck pool. After picking it up I realized that it has no shell! It was all squishy and leathery! She is in her third year of lay and this has never happened before! Or it could be possible that my 6 mo buff drake is really a duck...
Hello! I have a beloved pet chicken. I love her, but now she crows! So now we have a RIR rooster on our hands! We have tried numerous sanctuaries and no one can take him! Please if you are going to eat him do not ask! He needs a good home! Me and my mother and siblings love him to death! He...
I have 2 Pekins and 1 buff duck, all large breeds. Besides the disease factor, can I house them with adult button quail? I just mean violence wise, will they hurt each other? Ik there's disease but everyone Is vaccinated and healthy so that's not an issue.
Thank you!
Hi I found an excellent waterer from strombergs if anyone needs one. I plan on going away a lot this year and needed an auto waterer deep enough for them to dunk their heads in and I thought others might want to look into it...
Hi, I have recently been having a problem with mice getting into my duck coop. They dont eat the feed as I've checked and for some reason they don't. I put down sand today but will it keep them out? Also besides the disease concern is this a problem?
Hi I'm adding an addition onto my duck coop and I usually use 1/2 in. Galvanized hardware cloth but I found this stuff really cheap and it looks good to me, what do you guys think, will it keep out predators...
Hi, at my school we have 9 ducklings, 8males, 1 female, my teacher thought that the ducks would just decide that one male gets to be with the female but the others would just accept it and move on, is this true? Or will the males fight over the female?
Hi, I have two full grown female Pekin ducks that live in a large coop and run in my backyard. In spring my dad said he would get me another duck for my birthday and I wanted to hatch and raise it. My question is if an Ancona duck, the breed that I want, could live happily with my two pekins...
Hi! I wasn't sure where to post this but does anyone know if lights on at night by the duck coop would bother them? They have a place where they can go if they want it to be dark, I'd just love to be able to see them at night!
A little while ago a GIANT raccoon was sitting right there on my deck! My mom was just about to take the dogs out and he was just chillin'! This guy was giant and SCARY! Luckily he was at my mom's house and my ducks live at my dad's house, (I'm a minor). I didn't have my camera with me but...
Yesterday when I drained my duck pond I found a dark grey egg in their pond! At first I thought that it was a rock but after closer examination I realized it's an egg! I've heard of ducks laying in the water but always thought it was a myth. So does this mean that my duck is sick or just weird?
Today I saw a weasel in my backyard and then it went into its hole. I followed it to its hole and stuck the hose in then I went to the other hole with my BB gun and waited but then it didnt come out! After a while I just jammed 2 huge rocks into the hole but I think I got him but I'm still on...
Ok so my ducks have been living in an 8' by 11' wire run with a rubbermaid shed for shelter. The run has a wire floor covered with about three inches of dirt. now i want to sink a 6' diameter plastic pond into the ground but wasnt sure if it would still be safe for the ducks if i cut a hole in...
