    Broody muscovy question

    Our female muscovies have become broody. However they only sit on their eggs at night. During the day, they make their chirping noises and seem annoyed all the time, go swimming, hang out with the drakes, etc.... This process started about three days ago. I was planning on letting them hatch the...

    Coop on the fly!

    After looking at so many designs and plans, I decided to just build something a bit easier.

    Michigan Thread - all are welcome!

    I hear you Fuzzy! I have had to almost fight off three vultures pretending they were "sunning" themselves on the roof of our barn, with our ducklings out in front. Earlier in the day a hawk circled a little too close for comfort. I convinced the vultures that they were trespassing and they...

    Changing the world, one eaten bug at the time

    Only a few days after graduating from the "Brooder University", these fine ducklings have found gainful employment controlling unwanted pests and general barnyard upkeep. They could not be happier. "We get fed and we get to run around all day looking for bugs" said duckling #1. Of course it...

    Muscovy ducklings needed

    I am in the Fremont, MI area and am looking for about 4 Muscovy ducklings. Does anyone have any, nearby, or know of anyone who might have some? I do not want to get them from a hatchery because of their minimum requirements. Thanks for the help. Cheers

    Bedding for 2 week old ducklings?

    Hi George, We got 4 Pekin ducklings this year and we started them in the house, in a galvanized 2X4X2 horse through. For the 1st week, I lined the through with Doggy Pads, for absorption and odor control. I replaced the pads once a day, because it was all wet, since they like to splash so much...

    Brooder in a Uhaul box

    I am planning on getting them a better feeder. I am going to add some shavings on top of the pads in a few days. Seems like we are beginning to get a break in this Michigan weather :)

    Got the call, at last!

    Cluck, I do not have the bees yet. They are coming soon. I am jazzed. But trust me, whenever I am near them, I will be wearing those biohazard-protective look-a-like suits :)

    Our first foray in the outdoors today in Fremont, MI (a short stint but they enjoyed it nonetheless...)!!!

    Got the call, at last!

    Cluck, I was drawn to the Buckeye breed solely because of their history. Pretty amazing! Love it! Let me know what you think after reading it :) Ten breeds? Wow! That seems like a lot to a beginner like myself :) I am sure I am going to have my hands full with these 15 chicks, well, and 4...

    Brooder in a Uhaul box

    Great tips, Chillin'. I will keep an eye on the lamp. So far it is pretty secure but one never know... The waterer is pretty small so they cannot hurt themselves in there. I have two breeds: Buckeyes and Easter eggers. They are only about 4 days old. I also have 4 ducklings who are growing like...

    Brooder in a Uhaul box

    Not too pricey :) We moved recently and had these long clothing boxes left. When it was time to buy another 100-gallon tank for the chicks, the price tag made me think twice. So here it is. It is working pretty well so far: -I cut out one of the long sides of the box and made it the top. -Lined...
