I put my chicks outside at 6 weeks in a large dog cage at night (plastic variety with cage front) in the coop. The older chickens were interested in them and wary of them, as well. I let them out to free range under VERY CLOSE SUPERVISION the next day with the older hens and my rooster ( all...

By the way, here is the little girl (I believe) just before she moved to the great wide open

Just an update...I released the mallard back into the wild this summer. She started flying around our property for long periods of time and then landing in our swimming pool. Since she was bullied and ostracized by the other ducks, I figured she would be much happier on a lake and with ducks...

Hello, everyone. We have had our "New Hampshire" (Rhode Island Red cross probably from TSC) chickens and rooster, and Khacki Campbell duck and mallards for almost a year now. Now, one month short of the anniversary, we have had our first girl attacked and killed. While they are locked up tight...

I have a question, I set a live trap with peanut butter, marshmallows and raisins, and caught two racoons the first night, last night we caught another one. Is it possible that I am bringing more in by baiting? Or are they all there already? They haven't gotten my chickens or ducks, yet...

Update: This morning my drakes are getting a little sick of him following them around, and/or he has some unacceptable behavior in the coop before I let them out in the morning. They chase him until he is about 40 to 50 away if he even gets close to them. Now he is hopping on their backs...

That said (lol), thank you for your posts. I will put in a stuffed animal. I have him in a brooder right now, and he/she is doing good. In addition, will the mallard duckling fly off when it matures?

NOT my neighbor!!!

My mom called me up early this morning telling me she had found a duckling in the backyard of her sisters house. The duckling hopped onto her foot (odd, since I have 3 Khaki Campbells, and at 7 weeks are just now allowing me to pet them and pick them up). Knowing that I have the resources, my...

I have 3 khaki Campbell ducklings. They are 4 weeks old. They are definitely cute! I wish they wouldn't mind me picking them up, but they prefer not to be handled. I have 10 chickens who absolutely LOVE to be handled. They are 10 weeks old and race for me whenever I open the coop (they are...
