Looking for tips/suggestions for controlling flies in coop and run! Thanks!

At some point today, one of my ducklings was injured. They are just 4 weeks old and beginning to get wing feathers. It looks like one of the other ducklings or possibly a chicken bit her wing and pulled the new part of the feather out, leaving a bleeding quill. It didn't look too bad, so I've...

Starting to think this feisty bird is a cockerel. Pointy neck feathers. Bold and bossy. Greenish-blueish tint coming out in tail feathers. Comb is redder than the rest. Guesses?[/IMG]ontent/type/61/id/6440670/width/200/height/400[/IMG]

While my ducklings were still in the brooder, I would carry them outside along with their food and water each day. At 2 weeks old I moved them to their duck house. The weather was kind of crappy for a week, so I just kept them in the coop for that time while they adjusted. Now at 3 weeks old I...

My 2 week old ducklings were quickly out growing their brooder, so I decided to move them out to their coop. The weather has been really warm, so I haven't been using the heat lamp during the day. But now suddenly they are all panting in the coop...is this stress from being moved? Will it just...

Hey y'all! I brought my 4 day old duckling outside for some fresh air and sunshine today. It's 85 and sunny, they are in a very well protected area, with plenty of sun and shade. How long is it ok for them to stay out? They seem very happy and content. It touches on this a bit in Storeys guid to...

Hello! I just received my Holderreads order today and just had to share my beautiful new babies! :D First up are 2 silver appleyards Four welsh harlequin. I believe 1 male 3 females. The male and one of the females are TSC. Do you think my sexing is accurate? My bonus ducklings are two...

;)I know there is a specific place to list this..but I wanted to do it hear as well. I just received an order of ducklings from Holderreads. I can not keep all of them and have pulled the few welsh harlequins I believe to be male (by beak color) and an extra silver appleyard. I'd like to find a...

I just received my order of ducklings from Holdrerreads. I ordered 3 silver appleyards. One has a very pronounced black Mohawk and tail and an olive colored beak. The other two have less pronounced markings, as well as a little white in their tails and orange beaks with a dark stripe. Could...

Hello everyone, I have ordered some Welsh Harlequin ducklings thru Holderreads that are due to arrive either June 2 or 9. I had to order the minimum of 10, but can not keep that many. My daughter and I have decided that it will be easiest to rehome the extras right away rather than wait. So, if...

I'd love to see what everyone's favorites are and why ;)

I am planning on getting a large galvanized stock tank to use as a pond for my ducks. Was just reading about Stock Tank Defense tablets, said to keep water clean and clear, yet safe for animals to drink. Anyone ever use these? Thanks!

Hi all, I just picked up 16 day old chicks from post office. All seem to be doing well but one. One little Brahma is lying on its side shaking, unable to stand. Still chirping loudly and trying to move its legs, but obviously not well. I have given it water with electrolyte/vitamins and gave it...

Against my better judgement, I picked up one lonely buff Orpington chick with my 3 ducklings. They have been together in the same brooder for a few days now. The chick is getting run over a bit, but they cuddle and keep each other company. My concern is the giant wet mess the ducklings are...

I am new to ducks. I have had chickens for years, along with a few roosters (which didn't last long :rolleyes: I decided to start with ducks for a couple of reasons, they are adorable! Eggs. And pet. All along I have been saying that if any of our ducklings turned out to be a boy we would not...

I have 2 Pekin ducklings that are a little over a week old. My Indian Runner ducklings are due to arrive this week. Is it ok for them to all be in the brooder together? Thanks!

For those of you that house your ducks and chickens together..do you have a small pond or pool in the run for the ducks? We have a pretty huge run, so I know we could swing it..but is it just too messy for the chickens?

Ok! New to ducks and I think I have narrowed it down to Indian Runners! Can any of you tell me a little about your birds personalities..both good and bad? Much appreciated! :lol:

Hi there, I have kept chickens for 4 years now and have decided to try ducks. I plan to get 3 ducklings. Our local farm supply have Indian Runners and Khaki Campbell. Any opinions on witch would be best for first time duck mama? Thanks!
