Rouen ducklings question.
I'm not sure I have room for that many. But tonight I went out and caught them all one at a time so I could carefully listen to their voices. We definitely have 2 Quackers! 1 definitely has a very quiet raspy sounded whisper of a voice. You can barely hear him at all. The other our beloved... -
Rouen ducklings question.
Yup that's what it looks like. ☹️ I'm having a hard enough time finding 3-4 ducks let alone 14. Besides, I don't think i really want that many. -
Rouen ducklings question.
5:1! I don't want 18 ducks. ☹️ Anyone want to adopt a couple of kids? 1 comes with a black Swedish drake. The other comes with a black Swedish drake and a fawn and. White runner drake. -
Rouen ducklings question.
I didn't figure I would get off that easily but a person can hope right? Lol thank you for the Info . I will look into it. -
Rouen ducklings question.
Not if I can find enough females to satisfy them. My kids each picked them out as pets and I would probably never be forgiven if I had to rehome any. Which brings up another question. How many females would I need to make my males happy? Any chance they would be fine with just having a duck each? -
Rouen ducklings question.
I still don't know. I am thinking both Swedish are males the runner is a male and the Rouen is a female? -

What do I have
@CrystaBub do you have pictures of yours for comparison? I have a fawn and right runner that always stands upright? -

Mixed flock question.
I currently have 4 ducklings that are around 5 weeks old or so. There are two Black Swedish, 1 Rouen, and 1 Welsh Harlequin that's looking more and more like a fawn and white Runner duck everyday. Will they be okay being kept together once they are bigger? -

Lost a chick today from a broody hen
I am really sorry you are going through this! I'm curious, you said the chick is just gone. Do you know if the momma had them outside? If so what kind of fencing do you have? Could the baby have gotten out? Do you have any other broody hens in the coop? I've had babies that have jus t went and...- Crystal37

Guinea Hens & Wildlife
There may be others come along who have had different experiences, but I personally have never had an issue with guineas being aggressive towards anything. I had never seen the squirrel be aggressive either. It was like a little game or something? I always thought it was kinda funny. This fat...- Crystal37

Guinea Hens & Wildlife
There was a squirrel that use to come into my front yard just to torment my guineas I think. They would chase it around yelling at it and it would act like they weren't even there. Sometimes it would sit up on top a fence post as they stood on the ground still yelling at him. If he moved towards...- Crystal37

Rouen ducklings question.
This is (hopefully) her now. @PirateGirl . I know you can't hear her in this picture but does it look like a female to you? They are all starting to get their "adult" voices and honestly they all sound pretty much the same to me. Except one. It's only quacked once or twice but sounded like a...
