    How do you raise happy ducks?

    Sorry to be ignorant, but is GSD the same as German Shepherd? We are hoping that she will learn that the ducks (and later, chickens) belong to us, and will leave them alone. She has the run of the yard now, so maybe that will discourage many other predators. How big should the pen be for 4...

    How do you raise happy ducks?

    OK, so we DID find a super heavy duty dog house at a yard sale yesterday, and my husband has agreed that we can try to get these babies set up in the yard. I know the pen has to be secure to guard against predators. Do you have to dig the fencing into the ground to protect against animals...

    How do you raise happy ducks?

    I AM reconsidering! This really is hard. Today is community yard sales, so maybe I can find something that might work as a shelter for the time being while I figure out the best solution. I need to get my husband on board too. You are right, I really don't want to start over. Thanks for the...

    How do you raise happy ducks?

    Thanks for your replies. I am so torn now. I REALLY want to keep these ducks, especially since I have already given up my African Geese and all my baby chicks. But now I've had 2 replies to my ad for them on craigslist, so I guess they will be able to find a better home after all. I can't...

    How do you raise happy ducks?

    Hello, I don't have a lot of time to search through posts and read tons of old threads, but was hoping that someone had a resource where I can get an easier way to find what I'm looking for. I have 4 fawn & white runner ducks that I was trying to re-home. I really don't have the resources or...

    EATON COUNTY, MICHIGAN: Runner Ducks - 4 weeks old

    Hello: I have 4 Fawn & white runner ducks that are in need of a better home. I just got in over my head with too many chicks and ducks and geese before I really got settled into my new home. They are 4 weeks old and growing fast. They've been eating Purina Flock Raiser, and really need a...

    Hello Everyone. I'm afraid to say it, but I'm just in over my head with all these chicks, ducks and geese. I know there are a few people in Mid-Michigan on here, so I wanted to let you know that I've posted on the BST board with some cute little birds that need a better mom or dad to take...

    FOR SALE - MID-MICHIGAN - Variety of 3-4 week old chicks, ducks, geese

    Hello, I am new to poultry, and I'm afraid I've just gotten in over my head. I want to do right by these sweet little birds, but my time and finances are not going to allow me to provide the best environment for them at this time. I have 2 young children, ages 1 and 2-1/2, a 6 month-old...

    Can you put day-old chicks in with your week-old chicks?

    Thanks for your replies. I put the little puff balls in with the week-old chicks, and there was a little bit of confusion for a few minutes. I watched carefully throughout the day, and even though there was a little bit of poking at the babies, they are all sleeping in a big pile together now...

    Keeping baby geese and ducks with chicks

    I can see your points... You know, I didn't even realize how much these babies have grown, until I posted and then viewed these pictures I took last week... wow! They don't have feathers like the chicks, but they sure are putting on some body mass fast. I'm amazed at watching these birds...

    Can you put day-old chicks in with your week-old chicks?

    Ok, so my order from the co-op came in 2 separate batches. I now have 12 chicks that are day-old pullets, which I put in their own brooder box. Last week, I got 2 African geese, 6 bantams, 3 buff orpingtons and 4 runner ducks. They have all been happily living together in a big wooden brooder...

    Hi everyone, I don't get online every day, so there's no possible way I can keep up with all of you... but I still wanted to say hello and let you know that I lurk here occasionally. Today I was supposed to receive the remainder of my chick order through the Eaton Farm Bureau Co-op, but when I...

    New bantam babies... what do you think these are?

    Thanks for the replies! I can't wait to see how these little ones develop as they grow up. They're in good company with my ducks and geese and buff orpingtons now. Someone on the other thread (I posted in the wrong place at first) said the black puff ball one might be a cochin? Anyway, I'm...

    New bantam babies... what do you think these are?

    All 6 together in a box from the top: This one has fuzz on its legs and five toes: Looks like a tan chipmunk from the top: Same one that was with the white one, now with a brown chipmunk: Same as above: Any clues as to breed or gender? These are all bantams from TSC. Thanks!
