    Duck outside run

    I have river rock around the pool and mulch in the rest of the area. It helps a lot, but they still manage to make a poopy mess in a couple areas

    I got one and she is the sweetest. Very curious and knows her name, comes running when I call her. Beautiful breed.

    Finished the Coop...

    Started with the prefab. Chicken math happened, so I built a new coop. I had no plan and I had to work inside a covered run and around that. Lots of blood, sweat, tears and cursing. I'm not a carpenter and did the best I could by myself. The coop is about 8x12 with an area for each of the boys...

    Runner Ducks And Cold Weather

    I'm working on the run. I put the wood up because I'm enclosing it, so I moved them inside for safety purposes just in case. We have had 2 snow storms. One side came down because I didn't secure it right. I think it's good now but I'm watching it. I can't put them back out there until I know...

    Injury on bottom of foot

    So I moved them together in a large cage and on Friday I'm going to get yoga mats to put under the sheets I have in there, hopefully that is a soft enough surface for them to heal.

    Injury on bottom of foot

    So I just checked the other runner and she has it on both feet. She is now soaking. The two khakis seem to be fine. What a pain in the butt. She is even more feisty then the first one. I have that prid stuff which I may use on the second duck after the first round of soak iodine soak.

    Are they cold hardy or not? I feel they are not, especially in consistent below zero temps reaching -50 at times.

    Injury on bottom of foot

    There is really nothing there to squeeze. I will double check after her long soak tonite. She definitely wants to be with the other ducks but they are way to messy and I want her foot clean.

    Injury on bottom of foot

    Update I got the iodine, but could not find clear. I did a long soak, opened it up some(removing the scab) and then put the iodine on there on Sunday. Next soak day is tomorrow, but I looked at it today and it's almost flat like I don't think a kernel is even in there? Is that possible?

    Stray cat...?

    Ferals are not cats you bring in. Many places have working cat programs for these cats. I have a couple around here and they don't bother anything. The neighbor feeds them well. . A couple years ago there was a stray rooster and cat, they slept together. For some reason they got along great. My...

    Pallet DIY Small Chicken Coop

    I plan on making the whole coop including the floor(with plywood on top) and roof. It's going to be 8x12 and about 6 ft tall. In my mind it works well..lol I have an enclosure I made for the ducks for their pool made out of pallets. That thing is as solid as they come. That's how I got the...

    She was real loud this morning. It has shrunk considerably. I am going to do the soak, clear iodine, soak for the removal. Fingers crossed that works.
