We would be willing to wait the few weeks for you to finish the coop if you would like to have them. They are not necessarily friendly, but they aren't bad or anything. We raised them from babies but when they were old enough to go outside, we let them free range along side some chicken friends...

We have two ducks in need of a home. The Cayuga is a drake and the Indian Runner is female. They are a year old, we got them as ducklings in Sept of 2014. They are a little skittish and would likely do better with other ducks. Reason for needing a new home, we only have one female to our drake...

I went outside a few minutes ago to check on the flock and found our Cayuga drake trying to gobble down a dead sparrow. our female Pekin also tried to take the sparrow when I scared him into dropping it. not sure if it was already dead or if they killed it, we've always had those pesky doves...

One of my chickens appears to be acting odd lately. The feathers on her behind always have a dirty/wet appearance and if you look closely there's a bare spot on her behind. Is she molting? I haven't noticed this in our other chickens. Her comb has also flipped over, it wasn't like this before at...

someone suggested worms to me but I have doubted it because it's been for over a month the white hens haven't been laying and all the others lay everyday and are fine. I had mentioned it because another person on here said it, but I think it's another problem.

please leave as I'm not looking for judgement just help. we are trying to find them a good place to go instead of killing them. Other hens are in great condition as well as our ducks and our other animals. thanks

we've decided to keep them

we have eight hens and over the past month or so we've only been receiving 4-5 eggs a day. three of our hens are white, I think they're white leghorns, and they were laying white eggs but now we don't get white eggs, only colored from our other hens. they are about 8-9 months old. they were...

Hey! So I've been reading up on runner ducks and would like to see if our female will go broody. We've been taking her eggs every morning as we're not sure if she'll go broody and our chickens used to try to eat their own eggs and we don't want to risk it. How can you tell if an egg is...

I'm in Arizona and it's starting to heat up here, which means flies and mosquitoes. We have eight chickens and two ducks, they free range our backyard the whole day and are locked in their coop at night. With all their poop all over the yard or attracts tons and tons of flies. I walked out...

Hmmm, so it's normal? First time duck owner here so wasn't so sure haha. Btw very beautiful runner in your pic:)

Hi, I have some concern about my male cayuga duck. I've noticed he will make a noise sorta similar to a donkey, or sometimes it will sound more like he's burping up air (but he doesn't open up his beak) He also makes really weird, sort of like raspy breathing noises when walking around, or...

How should I separate them? They grew up together and when separated for even a few minutes they start quacking their heads off. They free range our backyard.

Hi, My ducks have reached the age where they're starting to mate. We noticed this a few days ago and today our male was mounting the female quite a lot. I have some worries, as our male is a Cayuga duck and the female is an indian runner. She's smaller compared to him (also a few weeks...

Our pullets are between the ages of 14 weeks and 18 weeks I believe. We have started to feed them the layer feed along with the younger feed meant for under 18 weeks because they are around the age. It is winter here but it doesn't get too chilly here. Phoenix AZ doesn't get harsh winters. Our...

Ahh sorry forgot to add this in. I think it's about 5 or 6 ft high and 8.5ft or 10ft long. Not sure as my dad built it. I feel as though it is not adequate space for them, they're always itching to get out or the ducks start picking on the chickens if they're not let out in the morning early...

We plan on taking a three or four day vacation this coming summer and not sure what to do with our chickens and ducks. We have eight chickens and two ducks that free range all day. Let them out early in the morning and put them away at night. Really don't want to keep them confined in their coop...

Hi, my family and I recently adopted two ducklings and chicks into our family. It was originally thought we had a cayuga and pekin duck, but as they've aged I'm concluding that they are both Indian Runners. One is solid black with some blueish tint on the wings, and the other is a fawn & white...
