Thanks for the advice... I am across the seas being a very chilly Aussie at the moment

Yes they are because of dogs and cats in and around our property. And to keep them fox proof. They’re moving into a very large pen once the weather is nice enough to put the wire on the roof. I might keep the two Muscovy drakes then until spring. At the moment I can’t tell who is dominant but I...

I have few questions as it is the auctions next week and I'm making decisions about my flock... I currently have 6 Muscovys (two drakes and 4 ducks) and 2 pekin mix drakes that all run together all about 5-6months old. firstly// one of my Muscovy drakes has had his tail feather pulled by one...

So the time has come where I need to make a decision on one chook that I incubated. I think that I have two roosters and the dominant one is bashing up my beautiful little guy who I'm unsure is a rooster but I'm assuming that he is due to the fighting.

We have just have the natural dirt which has been packed down and mixed by the chooks moving around. It does get muddy but its better for the chooks. I wouldn't worry about weed matting. The chooks will eat, scratch and poo on everything til it dies. We put in little boxes inside for them to...

Thank you for the help :) They’re lovely birds and I am happy I bought them even if they are mixes. They’re reasonably friendly (especially since they spent the day at the noisy auction to come home with strangers).. so that’s good when moving from the day pen back into their night box. We were...

Bought these two at the auctions today dirt cheep as they are un-sexed and unknown breed. If anyone had ideas on what they could be it would be greatly appreciated. I thought Indian runners because they do stand more upright than my Muscovys but the white one also looks like a pekin. There is a...
