    Thoughts on temporarily housing goldens with ducks?

    Thanks! My husband built it for me. The pond has a 2" (maybe 3"?) drain -the PVC comes out down the hill a bit - I just open a valve and it dumps out. I then hose it out and refill - the big rock in the middle there acts as a waterfall - it has fresh water hooked to it and also has a...

    Thoughts on temporarily housing goldens with ducks?

    Maybe I should put in some sort of ramp just in case. Weather looks good for the weekend so I think I'll give it a try. Thanks!

    Thoughts on temporarily housing goldens with ducks?

    I've been interested in getting pheasants for quite awhile and as usually happens the opportunity to get a pair of goldens came up before their enclosure is ready. Lots of weather delays etc - looks like it will be a at least a couple of weeks before it's ready for the birds. I've got them in...

    My Hens Sleeping in the Run - Not the Coop - HELP??!!

    Most of mine sleep outside though they have a perfectly cozy coop. Their run is secure so I just leave them unless the weather is severe. They went in when they were young, the ladies go in to lay and brood... and my new little mama takes her babies in at night but everyone else seems to...

    The Middle Tennessee Thread

    Good morning. Greetings from Clarksville. I've seen a few mentions about a saturday auction in Elkton but can't find much info on the web. I gather it's at the Bluegrass Stables? Can anyone point me in the right direction? What time does it start? What do the generally have? I'm not really...

    Silkie thread!

    Quote: They appear to be the same spots my boys get from time to time. Nothing to worry about. There is a fungus known as favus but those would be powdery. If they don't wipe off then its is not the fungus. There is one I just had a friend go through, Sonoran is the one who figured it out, a...

    Silkie thread!

    I posted on the disease board but didn't get any responses. Have any of you with silkies seen this before? Have noticed white spots on comb over the last month or so on this Roo only. I've never seen any mites/bugs and use DE regularly in Sand Floor Run/ Wood chip coop. Does not come...

    Anyone know what this is? Silkie Roo with White Spots on Comb

    Have noticed this over the last month or so on this Roo only. I've never seen any mites/bugs and use DE regularly in Sand Floor Run/ Wood chip coop. Does not come off with water. Think it's something I should be concerned about? Thanks!

    2 Month Silkie w/ Unusual "Drunk" Behavior

    I followed the protocol found at: http://www.browneggblueegg.com/Article.html symptoms are the same as described there so I can only assume I'm on the right track. Is it something you see a lot of Bat Cave Silkies? These are my first 4 Silkies (I've got another batch in the incubator...eta...

    2 Month Silkie w/ Unusual "Drunk" Behavior

    Just gave her a dose of prednisolone dissolved in water. Soaking up some chick starter now and have the Vit E capsule ready to go. The others from the same hatch are all at least twice her weight now - she has a really fluffy crest so we trimmed her up a few weeks ago to be sure she could see...

    Silkie thread!

    Finishing up my Silkie Coop - I'd like to put it on a raised platform within the run and put food/water underneath - what are your thoughts on how high it can be raised? Will they use a ramp if I make it long/wide enough? Thanks!

    problems at the end

    Quote: Really makes sense. My first hatch yielded only 4 chicks of 13 that made it to lockdown. I was so careful with temp and humidity but didn't give much thought to ventilation. Starting another batch in the next day or so. So glad I opened this thread - I was so sure my low hatch rate...
