Duck Pen
As far as smell goes, I don't smell too much. When I clean the poo on top I give it just the right amount of water to where all of it minus the grit dissolves to liquid and gets absorbed into the dirt. The area will eventually dry by the next day when I clean their place. It dries much faster... -
Duck Pen
This is by far one of the best investments I've made for my kids. I get a little ocd about dirt mess and puddles and prefer my kids to be spotless clean with little to no mud. I also give them lots of kisses, and being clean is a must lol. I recently purchased soft rubberized floor mat tiles... -
How much feed do you buy at a time?
I feel the same way about freshness :D I keep my kids food in my 30ft closet and seal it after every use. I keep their brewer's yeast and addition probiotic supplement powder all together in one area. I also breed mealworms and have a large colony of beetles that I store in a storage container... -
Discarded Drake

Help identifying Pekin sex
With the curl drake feather, the pekin looks to be male. Is the duck’s vocalization on the softer side, or loud?? -
Should I make a safety hole, ADVICE PLEASE
I hatched 10 pekin eggs in July without a traditional incubator. Lots of monitoring has been made to make sure everything goes smoothly. I gave all the eggs a safety hole after they have internally pipped, and started making cracks within the shell. Needed to make sure that they don't run out of... -

HElp my dog started killing my chickens
I'm so sorry to hear about your chickens 🥺 Canines, big and small of ALL sorts have a natural prey drive instinct. Chickens and other poultry are prey. I socialize my ducklings with my dog when they were babies, but even then, I keep the two species separated by a fence. We have to constantly...- D0PEY

Emerency DIY incubator for abandoned eggs-will it work?
Around the end of July... I made a diy walk in incubator using my garage, the heat from the top of my fridge, and Cali's hot weather. The 10 pekin eggs were placed in a large omem reptile container with holes already provided, for ventilation. I simply taped covered a few holes to contain the...- D0PEY

Sick duckling
I’ve recently hatched pekin duck eggs, and out of the 10... one of the ducklings was runty. The duckling was a lot smaller than her other siblings, and would get picked on. The first couple of days of life, the duckling would wobble while walking, eyes closed, and has clear liquid poo. After...
