Thanks for the info on Craigs List. And I'd rather not buy the pair since Mr. Quacks just needs a woman (haha) but thanks anyway.

I believe he's just being friendly

A couple days ago three of my four ducks were killed but no chickens. So the only duck I have left is a very, very lonely Pekin. I had one Rouen pair killed and the Pekin's mate was also killed. They were all around 4 months old. Anyone with fairly young Rouen ducks or a fairly young female...

Good. Then someone can answer both of our questions I'm feeling a bit...stupid. I'm so used to knowing everything about chickens...but ducks are a WHOLE different story. And I know nothing...lol

Oh, and do female ducks need a male to lay eggs? Or are they like chickens and they still lay regardless?

Well glad I stumbled upon this thread because I am going to get my new spring flock from Orschlean's today and I REALLY want to get a few ducks. So...my question is...can you treat ducks basically like chickens? Can you feed them chicken feed and they will be fine? Can they drink out of poultry...

Thanks everyone I was just wondering because I got my first double-yolk today and it just got me thinking. So, if you hatch pullet eggs, the chickens will just never be full size?

Ummmm...anyone?

Just wondering if anyone has ever hatched wierd eggs successfully...like a double-yolker, or a pullet egg, etc.

Lol, two - one for each side.

Finished the holster today, lol, my friend says it's so redneck that it's sick.

Goodness...why can't the government just stay out of people's lives for the most part and just keep up law enforcement...I think it would be a better world :thun

I put my eggs in really early for them to get used to them...at about 14 weeks, and when they started laying at 20 weeks, they immidiately started laying in the boxes. I have never found ONE egg on the floor...it works!

Quote: ROFLOL! I knew this post would bring some funny responses. Well, I just finished knitting the "holster" for the eggs and tried it out with two store-bought eggs. You can't even see that they're there (I wear size C) so I'm not worried about that part. Another thing - I'm worried that...

Well, I'm not going to hatch them right now - it will probably be a couple or a few months, but I will definitely start a thread then and keep everyone posted on the progress, etc. when I do. This is just the pre-brabator thread.

If you read the topic that I just posted, I think someone said that a lady did hatch some and named them that. Wow! I thought I was a first-timer, but I guess I'm not! Apparently some women tried to hatch some before and called them the brabators

Lol, I found it! - Or at least one of them... https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=1825
