    Do ducks lay all year?

    i have white campbells and they lay all year. I plead with them to take a week off as my partner has developed a duck egg allergy and theres just too many eggs!

    UK Egg Swap

    i definitely would, but it doesn't seem like many people would. its seems the uk bunch are a lot quieter on the forums.

    are your dogs and chicken friends

    our Peanut was wary at first, probably because the ducks chase him around the garden, but now with the baby chickens he wants to watch them all the time. and sniff them. the first meeting... well his face says it all.

    gravel and ducky feet

    Ive always wondered that. when my ducks had free range of the whole garden there was a gravel bit, hard pokey gravel i didnt enjoy walking barefoot on, they happily ran across it. now in their half of the garden they have river pebbles, smooth stones, that they love dabbling under when it rains...

    Building A Chicken Coop With Lego

    I had this exact idea last night because my ducks are constantly wet. I thought little tykes playhouse as well. but here's my idea: I would build the entire thing first sourcing everything from eBay.

    Hampton VA Chicken Ordinance

    I know my brother back in Virginia beach has 5 chickens. They are aware it's illegal but the neighbours all know and no one complains. They've tried petitioning to get it changed there. Just as long as there are no roosters I can't imagine a problem.

    Introducing chicks to ducks

    I thought that but then I'd have chickens inside for months. My ducks are fatties tipping the scales at 3kg each. I think I might try partitioning the run.
