    Ground disinfection post-coop removal

    If you have or plan to make a compost pile I would put the remnant of the coop poop in the compost. The area where the coop is removed will be a great spot to make a raised bed garden.

    Keep the rooster or get rid of him???

    I have 2 roosters. One is a ISO Brown that has started to get a bit a rowdy with me the other is a black sex link pullet that turned into a beautiful mellow rooster. I have considered getting rid of the rowdy one but he saved the life of one my hens a couple of weeks ago. I heard a commotion...

    Help!!!

    It is like a ticking rattling sound from the head area when they inhale. I found another hen on the roost with both eyes swollen shut.

    Wild Canada goose question

    I am betting that is a male that has staked out your pond and their is a mate sitting on a nest of eggs near the pond. Canada geese are very protective of their nest.

    Safe Brooder for Duckling and Goslings

    To preserve the peace at home I built an outdoor brooding cage similar to a large rabbit cage that has 2 suspended heat lamps and the top and sides are covered with a windproof tarp. I have a removable plywood divider so I can keep them congregated near the heat and food/water for the first...

    Duck eggs in pond water....

    I would remove the pool or move them to a pen without a pool and toss the eggs that have been submerged. A small doghouse filled with straw is a laying hen magnet.

    I toss eggs I find underwater. I do not take a chance on ruining an entire hatch.

    How many eggs?

    I have 3 rouen hens and 4 mallard hens. One of the mallards and one of the rouens have not came to the roost pen in about a week. I am suspecting they both are sitting nests in the grownup field next to the pond. The 5 hens that are returning daily to the pen are laying an egg each just...

    Difference between a Rouen and a Mallard

    When ducklings the rouen will have 2 stripes under the eye while the mallards has one. If that duck flew all around the room and lit on a counter top in the next room it for sure is not a rouen. I have both rouens and mallards. The rouen hens have a much deeper and course quack while the...

    I need to see some photo of some duck houses...easily built.

    Quote: I kept my flock of ducks in a brooder pen in my polebarn until they were big enuff to go into a secure run/pen. When they were feathered I would let them out into the yard during the day then herd them back into the pen and lock them in at night. When they got bigger we herded them...
