So I got the heat adjusted and set they get baths everyday since I've had them, I bought the chick saver electrolytes gave them 2 gallons of that so far today is there a limit on how much to give them?. They seem to think its a treat they love it or just really need it?
I definitely have them too hot. So im adjusting that. This one duckling doesn't seem to want to stand much either will get up if I reach my hand in but then just runs away then sits back down.
Well I bought 5 pekin ducklings last Friday they are all eating and drinking great but one has very thin feathers compared to the other four and now has a bald spot on its wing and the skin looks pretty red. Sorry I'm new to ducks so any ideas or help is much appreciated.
I currently live in Ames but I'm thinking of moving to bondurant but don't want to move there if I can't have my birds. Does anyone know if you can in bondurant or not?
My 4 Ancona girls started laying feb 3rd and I have been getting 4eggs a day since I'm just over in central Iowa. So it shouldn't be too much longer for you. Mine started doing the goofy head bobbing thing and I knew something was up.
No rooster. The dogs don't bother them nothing to cut her. The only thing I can think of is getting stuck to the ground or something. I don't know because I haven't been home and my wife doesn't pay much attention to them. It's low on the breast and she was wet when I picked her up which is how...
So I have been out of town for a few days and my wife has been taking care of my birds and today I came home and checked them all out and my buff orp felt funny on her breast. I flipped her over and I don't know if she stuck to the snow or what but there is a spot where her skin cam loose and ou...
I'm new to ducks and my 4 girls lately when I'm around they have been doing a weird dance. I have no Drake so it's not from getting lucky. Is it just them being weird or they think its close to spring since its been warmer here in Iowa? I'm hoping its them wiggling eggs around to actually give...
I think some of my eggs have been freezing but not enough to crack the shells. Also for hard boiled eggs I bought an egg cooker that steams the eggs then I throw them in an ice bath and once cooled the shells come off easy.
I got 4 ducks about a month ago got them their own coop and they just go into the chicken coop and sleep on the ground while the chickens roost. So they will just let you know what they want to do.
Last week I got 4 Ancona ducks who did not have the best life before they met me. Now they have good feed lots of water and someone who cares about them. They did not have water to swim before so they are in the pool most of the day. My question is how often should I clean their pool. I just...
I would never eat my pets. Thank you for all the advice they are loving the peas and the water tubs. I just keep moving the water tub further and further from the coop each time i fill it for them trying to get them more comfortable getting out in the open. They are moving around the yard a...
I got 4 Ancona girls today from Craigslist they are my first experience with ducks. The guy I bought them from said they were laying earlier in the year but then he was just getting too many eggs so he took all his birds off of layer feed and just put them on corn. Is it possible to get them...
My hens peck at my wifes toes because of her nail polish they must think her toes are Strawberries becasue they do not bother my feet but they will chase my wife through the yard trying to peck at her feet. Its actually really funny I think.
