We are supposed to remove them from our property by nov 1st.

Any one living in Toronto Suburbs who can take our ducks? Pls.

I did now, thanks.

Hi, My daughters raised two pekin ducks, but we are given a notice to remove the ducks because of the city bylaws. I am looking for someone who lives on a farming land and can take the two 7 months old ducks. We did build a pen which can go with the ducks if needed. Its a pair, and very...

No I haven't Is that in this forum?

Hello, My daughter has raised a pair of peking ducks, and she loves them. Now they are about 6-7 months old. We have received a notice to remove them by November 1st because Mississauga city laws do not allow pet ducks. We didn't know this because the place we bought them from, assured us...

Quote: Thanks for your concern. We are not hatching anymore chicks. It was done for a science fair project and the hatching part went well. now with all the help I found here we know that chicks shouldn't be handled, and should get starter feed, water, bedding, and warmth(95 degrees).They...

Quote: Here on BYC. Post #9 of this thread gave you a link: https://www.backyardchickens.com/LC-first60days.html They do better if they are not raised alone. But you can add another in a week or so when you have your brooder temp stabilized and a system for their care sorted out, if the...

Quote: Thanks for your advice, I am going today to pickup some starter food, and provide all that is mentioned here. what about the company this young one will need? is she going to be okay with just a mirror? and where are these crash courses offered?

Yay Chicks! : I'm afraid that without a good nutritional start and without enough heat it may have been too much of a set back for this little one to survive. Add to that the heat loss and stress of traveling when so tiny, again, it's a rough start. Also, have you checked for pasty butt? My...

Hello, We gave some hard boiled egg to the last chick but she is not eating it. She is drinking the sugar water. She often falls while she is standing. her legs were shaking. Then she fell and her legs were in the air and she was kicking them. Whats going on, does anyone knows any thing about...

Quote: Nikkumz, Thanks for your suggestion and concern. I will get her a chick or two. hopefully it will be helpful in overcoming the grieve. Children were too excited and held the chicks in hands a lot and the chicks communicated with them by running to them. Good night!

Quote: I really wish I had checked out some help earlier. I thought they will be fine as they survived the 21 days of incubation period. If we had known all this before we could be more careful. I feel bad. My daughter was crying and heartbroken. She felt like a mommy when they hatched. She...

Yay Chicks! : A 50 watt bulb may not be producing enough heat. They need it about 95 degrees at their level. You can get a brooder thermometer at the feed store that will also let you know what temps to reduce the heat to as the chick ages. Chicks do better as part of a flock or you could...

Yay Chicks! : Do you mean Flax seeds? Chicks need a balanced diet. Unless you know how to mix your own balanced chick food, you will need to feed it chick starter feed. Until you go to the store to get that, feed a bit of hard boiled smashed egg. Try some plain water. What temperature is...

yes we have a 50 watt light bulb about a foot high above the cardboard box. we have pine chips on the bottom. we will try the boiled eggs tomorrow. What happens if the chick is alone? can they survive alone or need more chicks? Thanks for your reply.

Hello, My daughter hatched chicks for her science fair project and out of six eggs three hatched! two of them are dead.. one day apart from each other. The first one hatched on March 31 and the second one on April 1. Third one is still alive but a bit week. Why did they die? is it because...
