Our duck still isn't laying "normally"... she has laid 1 or 2 eggs but still soft.
She has been on the oyster shell about 2 weeks now. We have been putting the oyster shell in her food. A small mix in each day.
Before recently, she had been laying about 1 1/2 months, 1 every single day...
for those whose ducks have pools of some sort rather than the luxury of a lake or pond LOL
do you just dump it out every single day? the water gets gross and I even have to scrub the pool itself down like every 3 - 4 days.
what do you do ?
Hello, we are new to the duck world! We have a Pekin. Her name is Piggy :)
She is our dog ducky. She comes all over the place with us. To get ice cream, to friend/families houses to visit, on trips LOL we just love her.
As you see, she is my husband's duck. This is them in our living room...
Couple questions for you all.... possible dumb ones LOL
We have a Pekin. She is about 6 months old now. She started laying about maybe 2 months ago now. She laid every single day since the first day. Some big eggs, some small eggs. The big eggs seemed to almost always be double yolks...
gosh, we had this problem with our Pekin... we had never had ducks of any kind and we joked that we raised her all wrong.
we "trained" her with food like a dog LOL
we made ice cubes for her with corn and peas. first gave her the corn and peas outside of the swimming pool for a few days...
Hi folks
Wonder if you can help me figure out what the breed of my chickens are....
They are about 11 weeks old bantams... also how much bigger do you think they will get?
This is Yoda...
And this is Edna...
Thanks!!
me too! we have 2 friends who also have chickens and other small animals... and we tried to pawn them off on them LOL but it didn't work.
I wish we had a lot more land and no neighbors so we could keep atleast one of them... one of our pullets and this cockrel are connected at the hip. it...
this is what we thought.... how frustrating that out of our 6, we got 3 roosters. we are going to try to get rid of them tomorrow at a small animal auction. not sure how that works, but I guess we will find out.
thank you!!
I posted this little guy a couple weeks ago and we weren't sure if it was a cockrel.... I'm pretty sure it is a cockrel but wanted the opinion of the pros! 5 weeks old...
Cockrel? ?
Hi there all!
I'm new to the chicken and duck raising and so far we are loving it! I live in North Port and I'm looking for some other chicken folks!
I also have atleast one rooser that I'm looking to re-home.
I'm rather new to the site.... can't figure out how to add myself to the list. I'm in Sarasota County (North Port) and looking for locals to get info from. Thanks!
we bought 6 back a month or so ago... we think only 3 are pullets. I'm totally bummed about it.
we don' want to keep any roosters.... what do you all do with them? farm and garden on craigslist or what?
