Our 15 RIR chicks just arrived an hour ahold before putting them in the brooder it was up to 101 directly under the light. They are in. The garage so I figured I would leave it due to it being cold here. I put the, in and they' re all huddled, even though it's 100. Are they trying to acclimate...

Okay... in the past week and a half my fiance's grandmother who was like a mother passed away so between services and getting ready for the holiday we have been slammed! Everyday we go outside to feed the animals 3-4 times a day depending on freezing temps. Well we really didnt think the mating...

First question.I have read on other forums that pekins will not fly away... I just got a 1 year old runner who is already backyard trained but he gets some serious air! I saw him fly 4ft yesterday to catch up with the other ducks. This may be a dumb question but will they ever fly away on me? Do...

So we have a large chain link fence area for our duck pen... looking for ways of making it not so hard on the eyes? We were thinking something like grape vines over the top and down the sides but i know those are toxic it most animals including ducks... what are some growing vines that are duck...

we started out with 6 female and 4 male pekins. We lost 1 due to a raccoon so were not if we lost a male or female. they are now 8 weeks old and a couple have curled tails and they are beginning to mate. We want to have lots of eggs and ducklings too. We also plan on culling a couple soon but...

We introduced two 6 week old runners to our 8 week old pekin. Of course the size difference is insane and the Pekins are going after the Runner babies if the runners try to eat their food or drink their water. So we split the cage with chicken wire so the runners have their own food, water and...

Our 9 pekin quickly grew out of the biggest plastic pool that I could find so I bought one of those big water containers and cut the top off of it so they now have a 250 gallon pool that is about 2 ft deep! They love it! The first week we had it I noticed algae growing and had to drain it and re...

I have been doing a bunch of research on them and cant seem to find the best time for them to mate for this particular breed. One website said at 5 months... another said 8-9 months... when did you start breeding yours?

sometime between last night and this morning, something killed one of my ducks :( They are in a large chain link fence with plastic garden fencing around the bottom. It looks like the duck got stuck between the pool and fence and whatever ate it pulled its leg through the fence so it couldnt...

I have 10 pekin ducks, plenty of space and all... wondering if they would get along with a turkey? i have a friend that has 15, 2 week old turkeys so they are the same age as my ducklings... what do you think?

New to ducks, I have had other poultry before but never tried free ranging them... how do i do it? at what age, or size.. they are pekin... we have a ton of turkey voltures and hawks so would this be a bad idea for us?

We have 10 ducklings almost 2 weeks old. It is very hot outside, warmer then it was in their brooder so I started putting them in their outdoor area that is fenced off and very safe from predators. It has top netting and even bottom netting so they cant squeek through the bottom. We have a large...
