    My ducks aren't laying - Help!

    Thank you! I love having a variety. The Runners are crazy little things. Not the smartest, but very cute. I originally got the ducks for entertainment. Then I started selling their eggs. I got used to having them available for people, and now have none. I feed them layer pellets from the feed...

    My ducks aren't laying - Help!

    I have 10 females and 2 (maybe 3) males. This is my third winter with them. I used to get about 9 eggs per day, it didn't matter what the season. Toward the end of summer the amount of eggs started to drop off. I thought maybe it was seasonal/molting/etc. Well, it has been about 2 or 3 months...

    Tufted Roman?

    I just stumbled upon this thread. I ordered a pair of Tufted Romans from Ideal this past spring. While I'm certain I got TR's, I am not convinced that I got a true "pair." I have two...but I think they're both male. Is there any way to tell the difference other than if one lays an egg? I've...

    Need help sexing Tufted Roman - pics included

    I got a pair of Tufted Roman geese on March 8 from Ideal. They're now 11 1/2 weeks old. I'm having a hard time telling which is the male and which is the female. It kind of looks to me like one has a little bit bigger tuft than the other. I'm guessing the male has the bigger tuft. Their...

    any keets yet..? 2012 hatching thread anyone?

    I finally got some pictures off my phone. As of the time I left for work this morning we had 14 babies. 10 are in the brooder (kiddie pool in the guest bedroom!) and 4 are still drying in the bator. We still have 15 eggs that have yet to hatch. Some have pipped, so we'll see what we end up...

    any keets yet..? 2012 hatching thread anyone?

    I love the pictures of the chickens with the keets! Right now I have a banty hen outside with 5 keets. We also have the bator going with keets hatching as I sit here. I've got a sad story about the eggs in the bator, though. We had 2 guinea hens sitting on a nest. It was about 10:30 pm last...

    I have two that hatched on 12/14/11. Christmas morning (11 days old) I heard the same sound. Finally this morning I caught one - the one we suspected was a roo - crowing! I could hardly believe it. I wonder how long it has been crowing and I just hadn't heard it. Mine are Black Copper...

    My guineas are crazy!

    Quote: Oh my goodness, 200?!?! I can't even imagine! I wonder if my aunt that lives in Penn Valley can hear them? LOL Guineas are so much fun. They're such characters. I'm sure we'll end up with more than 18. Keets are too cute and the adults are silly/crazy!

    My guineas are crazy!

    Thanks! I told DH yesterday that we must have to many guineas. (18 total) I walked out of my office building yesterday for lunch and could have sworn I heard guineas. I work in the city - there were definitely NO guineas in the area...just in my head!
