Welcome! Yes, they are like prisoners and they stay wth their own kind. The 3 year olds stop laying about now if they have been consistent layers. We had the same happen with ours and they became gumbo additive meat. :)

Hi all, It's been a long time since I posted and wanted to give an update on the duck life. So this is my 2 year review on how it's working. **The Animals** I originally started with 6 khakis. My rationale was that I wasn't fully into this idea and if we were going to do all this ****...

Hi there, I want to order some chicks from Ideal Poultry but the min order is $25. With just 6 chicks on my order, my total is $17 so I need someone to buy another $8 worth of poultry. I already tried to just round up to $25 but no go. If someone here says they want some, I'll pay for...

Hi there, They are still working great. The space between the two sides is only 1.5" so all size eggs roll down it well. I've even put bantam eggs in it next to my huge duck eggs and it's fine.

Hi there. I've built many coops for people. Mine are pricey, start at $700 for simplest and with all electronics, most sell for are $1800. A client gave me a huge shipping crate and I'm just so busy, I don't have time to convert it to something. The crate is 8x4x3. It is very well made and...

I made these for mothers day. My sisters is long enough to hold over a dozen eggs in her kitchen window sill. My mother's fits inside her fridge (she buys store eggs). They both raved about them (both are big fans of anything I do). Do you like them? I'm considering making some and...

Hi there, I used to live near Idaho Springs and we got a few bears a year. I never had a bear take the trouble to get after my ducks and chickens. After the birdseed or feed, yes. The birds, no. We kept our feed in our barn in a trashcan with a lid and never had one try to break into our...

Hi there everyone. I want to order some ducks online but I only want a small number. I want 2-4 Cayugas. Anyone recommend a local breeder or want to go in on a larger purchase together? I live in Littleton.

Wow, I get going out of business. But to take the money and run is something else. Very sorry to hear this. This is just rotten. I didn't know coops sold for $1500. I'm going to have to try this out. I sold my last coop for $1100 and she thought it was a great deal. It was a mid-century...

I'm sure there is something worth reading in that wall of text but I didn't bother trying. Punctuation is your friend, friend.

Why the recent increase in zombie or apocalyptic movies and books? For some, it would be an improvement in life, from a financial point of view or the point of view of how we spend our time if chasing money is very important. Take me for example: blue collar worker, haven't saved enough for...

Livestock guardian dog. There really is only one perfect breed for this and that's a great Pyrenees. However, many many people have found good results using other breeds. Just having a dog around keeps most critters away. I have never heard of a LGD actually engaging with a fox, coyote etc...

My 8 ducks are 3 to 5 months old. I started them on MannaPro wild bird feed. They guy at the store seems to know quite a bit and says this is what I should keep feeding them. Is he correct?

I have 8 ducks. I have a combo house/pen. At night, they sleep in the house and at 7am, the door opens letting them into a small 5x6 enclosure where they stay until I let them and our dog out into our fenced yard. Btw, my yard is bright green. :) The morning feeding, filling up (3) 5-gallon...

If you have this big of a flock, you need a LGD. No way around it. If you live in a rural area with no neighbor's pets nearby, this is an old family recipe. Day old donuts, soaked in Roundup. They are indiscriminate though. It wouldn't be worth it to kill a neighbor's dog or cat. I have...

Like it a lot. Great stained wood coop.

This would have been helpful when I tried installing my timer.

Sorry, the black duck with the white markings on her chest.

Couple guesses here: 1) English is not your first language 2) Your house is in a very hot place, the chickens and their poop make even more heat for a very hot place 3) Your air conditioning is costing you a lot of money. Answers: Get solar vents. Start at $300ish. Get fewer chickens under...

I adopted a couple ducks from someone via Facebook. What is the large black duck with white crest? Size wise, it's nearly as large as a pekin. Pretty sure the solid black is a black Indian runner? On another note, what do a Khaki Campbell and a Welsh Harlequin look like side by side...
