Like this: http://www.motherearthnews.com/diy/solar-stock-tank-zmaz10onzraw.aspx ... But for ducks. So not so big. Any ideas?

Meet one of my Fall Hatches. Mom is a Rouen, Dad a KC. Please ignore the photo bombing black headed drake in the front of the photo. My Rouen x KC looks to me like she has a very green bill and black wing bars. Her sister has a black bill and blue wing bars. The girl pictured above is quiet, but...

Please help me figure out what's going on with my Rouen Duck's molt. The girl in the front is the one I'm concerned about. She's been like this since late Spring. For comparison, her sister (same age, same environment) to the rear has grown all new colored wing patches in just the past 2 weeks...

Yesterday: Zero Today I found 1 egg from 3 Ducks, and it was laid in the afternoon rather than early. What are your ducks laying habits?

Did my Runner just start laying? The big white egg is def Rouen for comparison only. Will these little eggs get bigger? I love the color.

How can I tell the difference? Hatch was yesterday & today, have 6 ducklings total: 3 are dark and look like Rouens, 3 look just like Khaki Campbells, 2 of those have eye stripes, 1 does not. Need help to identify breed and if someone could tell me if any of these traits are sex-linked, that...

I have a barn cat, that likes to hang around people sometimes. This eve I was outside, along came the cat, when suddenly my 2 Pekins started waddling up to the cat. The cat hid nearby and I thought the ducks had forgotten. Next thing I knew, all 12 of my ducks chased the cat into some tall...

I'm considering planting a 0.10A plot of forage for my ducks. Tried Alfalfa last year, but in a different location. I was unable to keep the ducks off the plants last year, and of course they ate it all. This year some Alfalfa has returned, but again the ducks are eating it. Which is the point...

How soon after a hatch did your Khaki Campbell return to laying? My Khaki has ducklings that are 2 weeks and 3 days old, today I found an egg in the brooder box, so I guess she's returned to laying. What about everybody else's Khaki Campbells?

Today is Day 26 for my Khaki Campbell's eggs, and she's been sitting, Old Fashioned Style. This evening I went out to do the pm feeding, and I found a half hatched very bloody egg with a very alive duckling approximately 18" from the nest. So I held the egg for awhile, and I did pick just a few...

Ok, This thread's purpose is three-fold: 1) To get advice on adoptions, 2) To chronicle my experiences for others, and 3) To show pics of the babies here this year! Ok, a little background... I had 2 Pekin nests, but 3 Pekin Moms. One mom sat with her friend consistently, the other Pekin was...

So today I went out to do the evening feed + water, lo and behold, those 2 crazy Old Lady Moms had the 3 babies out swimming in a mud puddle. ... Right alongside the rest of the flock. Now today in MI has been nice, 52' and relatively warm. But I thought ducklings needed 90' brooding temps. I'm...

Do you Trim your Ducks Toenails? If yes, how do you go about doing it?

Title says it all. Obviously, housing. Chickens I know will need a drier environment. But please help me be sure I've thought of everything. Or most important things anyway. TIA :)

This is my Old Lady Pekin again. Thought she was cured of her ailments but today I observed she is definitely sitting a lot, feathers in her vent area are a mess (muddy or dirty wet looking), and today I found 2 Pekin eggs, both cracked at the small end and caked with what looked like a solid...

Just wondering about how the weather is effecting all of the above? I noticed next to no eggs when the weather was super cold, then had a few days where half the flock was laying! So is the weather confusing the Ladies? And then there's the drakes... Is the warmer weather making them get more...

Experienced duck Keepers, please tell me if you've ever had a duck drown in her water bucket? My newest Runner, who may or have not had some sort of undetermined vision issue but otherwise seemed like she had adjusted well to living with ducks instead of chickens... Well, she was fine with the...

Can you Experts help define exactly what is "severe weather" for the purpose of helping new duck keepers know exactly when to lock up their flocks? For example, if winds in my area go above say 25mph, I contain my flock to their pen. If it rains, I allow the flock to stay in the pen, but...

Hi, I've been told of an old time way of providing pasture shelters using round bales that have been hollowed out. Has anyone does this and can you please give instructions? I'm paying $20 for a round bale right now, so I'd hate to destroy it and make a huge mess of waste. Thanks so much.
