    Why is my duck scared of a kiddie pool

    Is there a pattern on the bottom of the pool? I have a friend whose ducks were totally freaked out by the pattern on the bottom of the kiddie pool. She put some floating lillies and tossed grass scraps and put pebbles on the bottom and problem solved! Good luck!

    The Chicken Chateau

    Very nice! I love the bright colors; mine is painted very similar! How big is it? To me, it looks a little small for 10 chickens...

    Bedding/Liner question...

    I always use white shavings and have never had any problems. I check them in the morning and when I get home, but I have never had a problem. At my store, we also recommend that people use white shavings (in addition to using them ourselves) and have not had problems. Hope that helps. Don't...

    Chickens and Cats

    2 of my cats are very confused by the chickens. The other cat adores them and 'raises' all of our chicks. She stays with the brooder at all times!

    Post pictures of your dog(s) with your flock!

    My beagles are wonderful with the chickens and are left unsupervised with them all the time. They will sleep together on the lawn furniture! Here are pics from when they were chicks! (Sadly, my third dog can not be left with them!) And here's one of my cat. She adopts every bird that comes...

    Sad Day

    My beloved chicken Thelma died today. She was a 5 month old Buckeye that just refused to grow. She had several health crisis that I nursed her back from but she just wouldn't grow or keep weight on. All of my other chickens rejected her, so she spent a lot of time with me. I'm heartbroken...

    duck treats...??

    I tried the romaine tonight; they seemed to enjoy tossing it around but didn't eat that much. Now my chickens on the other hand, they devour the romaine!

    New Rouen Ducklings

    Ok, they have been fairly 'peepy' sounding. But today after work I designed and built a (rather wonderful!) outdoor brooder on my porch and when I was moving them out there they started making some new noises and they sounded like they might be the beginnings of quacking! Hurray! Fingers crossed!!

    duck treats...??

    I have had my ducks for 1 day... so I'm no expert. But I've been treating them with frozen peas in water. I hand feed them the peas and they love them and then leave a few in the water for them to 'fish' out... too cute! They alreadyget so happy when I walk into the brooder and check out my hands!

    New Rouen Ducklings

    Peas! They LOOOOVE them! But now I'm questioning if they are really 4 weeks... everybody seems to say they should really have some feather action at 4 weeks and they have very little. I don't know ducks!
