We recently had new nesting boxes built and installed. We went from 4 plastic gray Tractor Supply boxes (they were nice) to 21 box unit. I have 14 hens and 19 more that are almost 3 months old. I'm assuming we crashed the party as it seems no one is laying eggs?? There have been a few but...

I'm sure there are answers to this question but I'm not finding it at this moment. Was cleaning out chicken coop this morning where I have 8 week old big chicks. I noticed one has bloody D. Not sure if any others have but I did see the one. What do I need to give her? Meds? Add anything...

my granddaughter with my "home grown babies."

I'm thinking of ordering some guineas from this company and wanted to see if anyone on this forum has ordered from them before? Metzer's has the pearl guineas but I was wanting some of the lavender and white ones. They just look prettier to me. Anyone own those two colors? Do they do as well...

I have two Pekins..............male and female. The male is about as sweet and precious as he can get. He will let me hold him, love him, etc. for as long as I want to. No struggling to get down, no quacks or any sounds for that matter. Just a great fella. The female however.............is...

Recently bought some Mazuri waterfowl food for my Pekins. They don't appear to eat very much, if any. Will they eventually eat it? Should I just only put it and not the previous food? I had been mixing it ...........that way I wouldn't upset any tummies but they still eat the "chick starter"...

I FINALLY made a decision on where to order ducks from. I currently have just two Pekins and have really been enjoying them. I have been going back and forth from Metzer's to Holderread's. They both have pros and cons but today I FINALLY decided to go with Holderread's. I'm not noted for...

I'm changing my duck food today and was wondering.........................how often do I feed my 5 week old ducklings? Up till today, I've give them all the food they want. Should I stop that now or ???

Good morning, can someone help me...................I would like to know where to buy duck food that has only 16% protein ? What brand? I know that my local TSC does not sell anything for ducks. Any help would be appreciated!

Can someone show me a picture or point me to a link where I can see what Angel Wing looks like? One of my two ducks wings look a little funny to me. Never having ducks before, I don't have a clue if this is Angel Wing or not. Thanks a million.

looks that way ! Here's my two Pekins lounging outside. While I was cleaning their house this morning, they escaped. For 3 hours , they stayed right near their house. It was not easy herding them back in. In fact, I had to get a relative to come help me. I probably would still be chasing...

Was considering getting a couple of geese and was just wondering what their poop is like? I have two ducks and they are messy. Runny poop, all the time. Seems to be their favorite past time. Pooping. OH, BUT I LOVE THEM. They are just so cute.

AND........how often? I gave my two Pekin ducks some today and just wanted to check. They absolutely LOVED them. I would throw the peas in their round bowl of water and it was about the cutest thing watching them fish the peas out. ALSO................do I need to put some grit out? Will...

Here's a few pictures I thought someone may enjoy. Yes, it is a bit much for 2 ducks, but I was looking into the future. I may just get another "whim," as my husband calls it. Who knows, I may have a bunch of runners living in there someday. I'm still working on a permanent place for a small...

Does anyone know where I could find a pair of Cotton Patch Geese?

Question..................Can I feed my 3 week old ducklings in the morning........where they will have food all day long........then when I clean them up at night .......take their food away for the night? Heavens to Betsy! These 2 are immensly messy! And are so big, they are about to come...

The floor of the duck house is raised with hardware cloth on the bottom. My original plan was to put river rock on top of the hardware cloth and keep it hosed off. Does anyone know if it matters if it's just the hardware cloth only OR do I need to go ahead with the rocks on top? Wasn't sure...

I haven't posted on here in a very long time............ I have two Pekin ducklings, almost three weeks old and currently live in my bathtub. I'm having a duck coop/house built that is almost finished and was wondering when I could transition them to their outside coop. I'm in...
