Everyone thinks I have a fox or bobcat, and he/she loves duck. When is the best time to spot one, stay up all with night vision goggles and gun? Trap?

I am trying to narrow it down. My pekin ducks and young geese have gone missing over a 2 week period. The one duck weighed 10-15 lbs. I found a couple of feathers, no tracks. They are fenced in night and day. I know I have hawks and have not seen any owls, foxes or bobcats. The fence is...

Please!I will be getting one today after work. What type of thermometer, one that shows both temp and humidity? I see a lot of different answers about temperature (and humidity) Should the temperature be taken at the top of the egg? I have an egg turner can I use a meat thermometer and...

I have a few very large seashells (not something she can swallow) and my Embem goose after I rinse out the water container takes the shell and drops it back in, not necessarily while I'm watching, but each day it is back in there again. She does lay an egg every other day and I am not sure if...

I have a couple of people in the local area that want to buy some of my Pekin duck eggs, I get 3 per day. I have 1 drake. 1. If I clean them will they still hatch? 2. How much does a fertile duck egg sell for? 3. What temperature do they need to be kept? 4. When is the soonest I can candle to...

I have an egg-turner but it blocks my view of the "water troughs" amd I made a mess, poured water out everywhere. How do you best judge this? Do I take out the turner each time? Help!

How soon can I candlethem to see if they are all right.

Not looking for anything huge, just a few(so I say). I do want one that does not require a lot of fuss. Thanks

Do you think anyone may be interested in this for their "tractor" or coop. I know of someone that does.

I have 4 Pekin ducks, one of the 3 year old females built a nest out of the fenced area. I got the adults from a neighbor so don't know what to expect. Should I move her and the nest into the fenced area or try to put fencing around her where she is?

I live in Florida. Could it be the heat?

I want to get it a mate?

I got 2 pekin ducks this weekend, now what I thought was a duck turns out to be a white Embden goose. My daughter was right. Will they ever get along? How do I tell if it is a goose or gander?

Will this ever stop? She is "low gal on the totem pole "in one pen and terrorizes the shy hens in the other pen. Where is she better off? or maybe put her by herself for a while.

I want to switch to pellets, they have always had the crumbles. Each time I try to switch the lady at the feed store talks me out of it. She says "they won't like it". I wonder is she just saying that because a lot of food is wasted with the crumbles so I end up buying more.

I don't want to dig up my yard, and I am tired of dumping the Wal-mart pool I have, any suggestions? I only have one Peking duck, want to get another one.

They are approx 6 weeks old. My 2 Aussie Orps roos are about 18 weeks old. They free range in 3 tractors but the roosters were pretty rough with the gals (the rocks) so they are "on their own" with 2 pullets of their breed, they are pretty fast (the Aussie gals) and they give them a run for...

Her feathers are missing on her butt. not 100% I washed her off, I thought maybe she had prolasped but I found a non-hardened shell on the ground and the remains of an egg in the nest. I have 3 mature rock hens that lay she is one of them. I also have two 18 week old Aussie Orp hens...

I got today from feed store, he/she was in the wire cage with baby chicks and was looking a bit beat up. I had to get him out of there. I have medicated grower crumbles or non-medicated layer. Which would be best for now?

I have read molting, stress, broody. Is it probable that a hen never, ever lays an egg? I have the cleanest looking white rock you could ever want, the other two are pretty dirty looking.
