Just to let you know how much I miss Nibbles! My husband was saying yesterday how quiet it has been around here. I know she will be taken care of and loved by all her new friends! Thank you very much and please send photos now and then!
He is not a fan of duck eggs not unless they are used in cakes, etc. His waist is witness to that. We have been giving our extra eggs to Meal on Wheels for them to use. We still have a few chickens. So we still get our allotment of eggs!
Thank you....She is a white duck hybrid. I got her from a breeder. Well, I think the name was Somerset Duck Farms which sells chickens and ducks, etc. I got the first duck as a rescue and I didn't want it to be alone. So I ordered this one. She is a little smaller than a Peckin that was the...
That would be awesome! She is a good layer! To be honest, haven't missed a day since she started! Her eggs are standard size for ducks. I would gladly meet halfway. The only problem, I will be out of town this weekend. And the following weekend for a week. I will gladly come there if you work...
I am located in Townsville, sc. I took no offense to anyone stating your opinions! I just wanted some ammo so that I could make a educated argument with my husband! Lol! The pond that he wanted to let her go is a neighborhood pond with ducks like her that is taking care of by the individuals...
Hello....I am wondering about keeping a single duck. There were two, but I had to put the other down because of leg problems. Now this duck is by itself and it is about two years old. My husband says no more, but I don't care for it to be by itself. There is a pond at a subdivision my sister...
My ducks has abnormal poop like the pics show. They don't act sick. Quite the opposite. But I am worried about what type of meds I should be giving them.
Thanks for the advice! The ducks has a house that they go into to lay the eggs with hay....Their feathers looks like they just got out of the pond and the feathers froze wet. They are still laying everyday as well as the chickens..I guess they are happy! By the late afternoon, they are thawed...
This may be a dumb question on my part but lately going out to check on my ducks, their feathers are frozen! I thought ducks cleans off the additional water to prevent that....should I be doing something?
I am so glad I found this thread about ducks laying in pond! I have three ducks, two laying and one just recently started. There is a duck house and a carport (hehe) that they were laying in. In the past they were both laying in the carport. Now the older duck is laying in the house and the...
The avian vet said that the way it was broken, the tendons are constricted and there wasn't anything that could be done. I had asked about the stretching or a boot, but he wasn't very hopeful. All he could really say was that as long as she was acting like a duck and the other animals were...
I only wished LouLou was that lucky. Her little foot is like a claw up towards her stomach and she walks on the ankle. She is starting to have a little callous on that ankle but other than that she is walking around. She kinda hobbles though. She lets me pick her up to check on it every once...
Another thing, if you have just one rooster on the property, will he crow less? I have both roosters crowing all the time, and I am really attached to one of them. I would hate to get rid of both of them if the crowing would slow down. My husband's clients asked if we live on a farm because...
Hello again!
I am having difficulty with one of the chickens whether it is a hen or rooster. I have enclosed a pic showing two roosters on the left but the barred rock on the right I am not so sure. I am taking the two roosters to another home for breeding and I was going to throw the other...
