I have 2 cockatiels, and had one Sun Conure. The Cockatiels are now about 16 years old. The Sun Conure was about 6 months older than the Cockatiels. They lived in the same big flight cage together. Everyone loved spinach, broccoli, apples, oranges, asparagus, celery, etc......

I searched the forums last night, looking for advice. Saw numerous posts on, "Duck can't walk" and none of them were very encouraging. Yesterday evening one of my ducks was in the pool, while all the rest (9) were out of the pool and on the ground, ready to go, 'night night'. I walked over...
Kind of funny actually. About 4 or 5 days ago, I quit giving my ducks water and food at night, when they are locked up in the coop. Even though I had their water bucket in a bottom half of a dog kennel, the hay would get soaking wet, and REAl poopy over night. They've started to not lay in...

I've always had beds, this year I decided to go ahead and use the tractor to till in manure, etc.....
I want to do rows, do I just make them by hand, with a hoe or rake? TIA!
I've lurked for a bit and thought I might as well jump in. I've had back yard chickens since 94. Right now I have 4 Australorp hens, a hen that is a mix of some kind and a RIR rooster. I've decided that I want to try ducks! I saw all the recommendations/comments on Metzer Hatchery, so that...
