Coccidiosis & The Coop
Hi, I'm on day 1 for treating my flock (27) for cocci (amprol). I'm wondering if I should clean out the coop now? Or end of the 7 day full course treatment or end of the extended 2 week treatment? Thanks so much for any help. There is so much conflicting information out there I think my...- SandyM

Pekin Duck Club!
Probiotics and ACV should also help. Mine get ACV every day and a probiotics sprinkled on their food, once theyre a bit older they'll get probiotics once a week. Good for flora balance. -
Pekin Duck Club!
He's just 3 weeks old. He's definitely not fat, I just think they grow so fast it's crazy. I'm going to up his niacin intake. Right now he's on stress aid to make sure he gets all the nutrients and then some of what he needs. He is walking a wee bit better, a weeeeee bit. Not sure I can... -

First Time Duckling Owner- What Is Normal Duckling Behavior?
I live pretty remote so my dandelion search is on my property and down the road. They are better Than store bought as store ones will have pesticides, unless you buy Try collards. Mine love collards too. I'm growing a few batches for them in the veggie garden. They also love shredded raw... -
First Time Duckling Owner- What Is Normal Duckling Behavior?
Yes!! Romaine lettuce too. Dandelions are my guys absolute favourite..probably second to peas. I throw the peas in the kiddie pool and they dunk for them. It's their favourite time of day, I'll also put chopped lettuce and dandelion in the pool water and that's oodles of fun too. I give... -
First Time Duckling Owner- What Is Normal Duckling Behavior?
In the pictures I see a fenced in area. The ducklings would need somewhere to hide or run for the chickens. The chickens are still young so they should behave but it all depends on their temperament. Maybe you can put th ducks out during the day and inside at night? After a good week or... -
First Time Duckling Owner- What Is Normal Duckling Behavior?
They are so adorable. I'm not sure you can ever have enough ducklings My ducklings will be 3 weeks on Monday July 6th. 2 age groups of chickens, 12, 9 week olds and 5, 14 week olds, In my opinion, ducklings are much to wet to bunk with chickens. I use the deep litter method with the... -
First Time Duckling Owner- What Is Normal Duckling Behavior?
Water. When i first got my 11 ducklings at day olds, the first day I gave them a bath in a paint tray. They quickly learned that being picked up meant water play. They stink terribly so at 3 days old I moved them out to the coop and pen. They have a litter box to swim in, with the paint... -
Comment by 'SandyM' in item 'Barred Rock'
My barred rocks are amazing! Friendly, confident and smart. They can be a little bully-ish to the smaller ones but when they are out free ranging it's easy for everyone to sort themseflves out. We have Hawks as well, but I also have a lot of trees. The second anything flies over they take cover...- SandyM

How to keep duck pen from stinking
My ducklings are almost 2 weeks old and have been in the coop for just over a week. I couldn't stand their stench in the house so out to the coop. They swim and eat outside of the coop - they are in an old King sized dog kennel. It's huge! But their coop stinks to Mars and back!! I washed... -

How much Brewer's Yeast should I give to my ducklings?
I love this site!! Any question I pop into Google about chickens or ducks brings me here. So of course I'm enquiring about Brewers Yeast for the ducklings arriving on Tuesday. Did you use 5% from day old ? I plan to use some ACV in their water and probiotics as well. Thanks! Sandy
