    Unexpected duck mama

    I have no idea how old they are now but they're getting pretty big. Starting to show signs of real feathers coming through. They love their bath time. I've currently got the four of them snuggled up on my abdomen having a nap. They had a long swim in the bath today and getting kinda tired.

    Unexpected duck mama

    These ducks are getting pretty big. I'm not sure exactly how old they are now, but they're much bigger. Here they are on the couch after having a bath in the tub. My son is absolutely enamoured with them and just wants to cuddle them all the time. They have also acquired the names Huey...

    Unexpected duck mama

    Heres a picture. The waterer is in the background. Its just a fizzy drink bottle with the top cut off and 3 holes cut into the side. Fill with water to just below the openings and voilà. No more paddle and poop in the water dish.

    Unexpected duck mama

    I actually don't know if its illegal in my country. I live in New Zealand (I just looked it up and it doesn't seem to be illegal. I can't find any legislation and vets give orphan duckling raising tips) I'll take some pictures shortly. We have nutritional yeast, yes. I'm going to see what I...

    Unexpected duck mama

    Help, I've unexpectedly been given 4 wild ducklings that are only a few days old. I've never had ducks before so I'm completely out of my depth. What do I feed them?? I've thrown together a makeshift brooder and they seem fine now, although I started with 6 and two sadly demised before I...

    I finally have my chickens in their new coop. Its not quite complete, I still need to put the weatherproofing on the outside of the house. But it's secure, and the chickens spent their first night in it and seem happy. I'll take some pictures later in the day.

    Building the coop

    This article will be updated as the coop progresses. Check back to see what's new. In the beginning: My dreams of having chickens in my life again became very real when a friend of mine decided he didn't want his two hens anymore. They were given to me, along with a small prefab coop, and I...

    Helpful hints for building coops

    Here's today's progress on the coop. One side of corrugated iron left to dig in and secure. Next is the roof. I'm leaving the roof to hubby. I'm just ecstatic there's progress. I need to go for an hour drive each way to go get the netting I need for the walls. I may need more timber for the...

    Reading the directions often helps troubleshoot little issues like that. The weather here is miserable. Cold, wet and windy. Gotta love winter :tongue I let my chickens out of their little prison for a peck and a scratch. Probably wasn't the best idea. It took me almost half an hour to...
