    1 drake, 2 ducks and 5 hens

    Thank you! :) I'll keep an eye on my flock to make sure all is ok, I also have a separate coop and run if he gets too much lol. I've noticed he can get a bit randy in the water occasionally lol must be a duck thing

    1 drake, 2 ducks and 5 hens

    Hey everyone, I currently have 3 indian runner ducks, one of which has turned out to be a male. I'm struggling to re-home him sadly. So, can a drake live happily with 2 female ducks? I just don't want him to try mate with my chooks. Thanks! :)

    Duck eggs under my Silkie

    My Silkie went broody last Sunday. I have finally managed to find some Indian Runner Duck eggs which I have put under her today. Will this incubation period work out? This is my first time trying to hatch. Thanks :)

    I have 5 chooks on a medium size lawn - will they kill the grass?

    It's more medium to large. Thanks guys, maybe it would be best putting them into a run a couple of times a week to give the grass a break?

    I have 5 chooks on a medium size lawn - will they kill the grass?

    I have just moved into a new place with a medium sized lawn. I only have 5 chickens and they are always free-range. Will they kill the grass on the whole lawn? Thanks :)

    Coop cleaning and general care

    Thanks so much! I only have 6 chickens, only 4 in the coop. Still young at 6-7 weeks. And at the moment I fill the coop with pine shavings. I'd like to turn the cleaned out shavings and poop into compost. So thinking to maybe clean out and replace every month or so?

    Coop cleaning and general care

    Hello BYC! I'm so glad I got into this hobby, however I just want more and more chickens haha! I love being a chook mama. Just wondering what material you fill your coops with (hay, pine shavings etc)? And also how often you clean the coop out? Also, is there anything that you wish you knew...
