Been very busy around here. Working on coop still. Right now we are hearding them to and from the run every day. Hubby is working on the door today. He's a welder so it'll be nice and strong. Hopefully get it put in and working well by the end of the week. All the kiddos are getting...
OK we have a problem.
This is Drake. His girlfriends name is Daisy.
Two supposedly Pekin ducks.
They will be 6 weeks this Friday. Why are they turning brown?
Well not too bad of a day around here. Our coop is done except for the flooring and some paint. Got a tiny bit of the run enclosed so the babies can play when its super hot outside. We put our brooders in the coop last night and everyone was just perfect this morning. Had a few storms but they...
OK so my chicks and ducks are now four weeks old. We finally finished the coop. Still working on the run however. Since its getting hot is it too soon to put them in the coop? I'm worried they will over heat at this age. Or if the run was done would it be OK to put them in as long as they can...
Yeah that's what my mom thought. They have never bloomed so I was Leary they might be something else.
Wish my hubs would let me get a goat. So sweet! Maybe some day.
Omg got 100 ft of 1/2" hardware wire for half price and an unending supply of pallets as I need them yesterday. Working on my coop as we speak. So excited!
Three posts of six needed done.
Gonna start stripping the little side part down and building it back for the coop. More pics to come.
OK I'm working on my run today. Woohoo...finally! But I have an unknown plant currently growing there. Can anyone identify it and tell me if its poisonous to my chickens and ducks. I will leave it for a treat since no matter how we mow it it still comes back but if its bad I'll dig up the root...
I got mine at TSC (tractor supply company) for $4.95 each. They only sell in pairs. Mine are in great shape. I know some people have had problems with TSC but mine is amazing. Great staff, great customer service and for me great birds.
I have had the best birthday so far. Came to town to get stuff for the chicken coop and duck enclosure. Got free pallets and was told I can have as many as I want no worries. Sweeeet! Then got 100 ft of 1/2" hardware cloth for $150. Should have cost $2.49 a foot but they couldn't find the SKU...
That was my only reason. When you say watering platform...can you explain? So far their bedding is always wet and poopy. Have changed it twice a day for the last week. Also with it getting warm...finally...whats the earliest I can put then in their new house?
I know ducks need enough water to rinse out nostrils so I planned to have a pool or at least small dish of water. Can ducks use nipple waterers for drinking water purposes? I'm a touch confused on the whole water thing. Help!!!
I'm so sorry to hear about your baby. It seems its so much easier to become attached to animals than some humans. I'm glad to hear she has found peace though. I'm also glad to hear your dentist appt went well.
I'm so tired of winter I don't even mind the skipped spring. I'm thankful that when...
Only two weeks old but thought I'd show you all my babies. Don't know sex yet. Speaking of which...how do you tell the difference? Can't wait to find out so we can name them.
Yeah I'm going to be making them their own space today. I've already changed their bedding twice in 24 hrs. Not a big deal I love taking care of them but dang dudes. Quit!
Lol! That seems like what I'm going to be doing too. Its so worth it though. They are only two weeks old but I already feel like they are one of my kids. I want the best for them and all my future babies.
