    A couple of questions about broody Rouen Ducks

    I we have 7 good looking ducklings cooking in their shell (by cooking I mean growing) and 3 duds. They were all taking up about 2/3 of the eggs so I wonder how far along that is.

    Am I a boy or Girl?? edit: I am a boy!!

    I need to take better pictures but here is the gang: I think in February I am going to get an Americana and a Speckled Sussex and possibly a really pretty rooster to keep these ladies in line since they will be free ranging during the spring and summer.

    Cannot get the chickens to go into the coop at night

    What can I do to get them in there? I have tried leaving them in there a couple of days, putting them in there at night, putting food in there only. Nothing works.

    What is up with my duck??

    Well he's not doing good at all. He can't eat on his own any more and none of his feathers are coming in. The other duck is the same age and is half way feathered out. I think he might be going up to the big pond in the sky soon. I did buy another duckling so the big one won't be lonely. It a...

Poor guy.My husband is worried h's going to drown in the small bowl of water but since he never gets up I'm not too worried. I have been helping him eat.

    What is up with my duck??

    That's what we were thinking but it is always all shaky. I'm going to hobble his legs and hopefully that will work out.
