Welcome to the thread, we love our Pekin Ducks.

Welcome to the Alabama thread.

What temp and humidity do you have?

The smell may be from the eggs that hatched. If you keep the temp and humidity up you may get some more. Low humidity seems to be my biggest problem during hatches, someone is always opening the incubator when I'm not around. I put a sponge in the corner and add heated water to keep the humidity...

I use starter for the first 4 weeks then switch to grower until 18 weeks. If I don't have anymore chicks coming I use the starter until the bag is gone. At 18 weeks I change to 16% layer, and I give treats and fresh veggies often. I also add scratch feed to my adult and juvenile birds with grit...

Shoot it, Game Warden near me says you can protect your flock. Of course, if you live in city limits, that may be a problem. My next suggestion would be to get one of those blow up owls.

I have about 10 Pekin duckling left to sale. They are 2-3 days old and cost is $8.00 per pair. Located in Munford.

Thanks for the info Tomtommom.

This spot is on the back of my rooster right in front of his tail feathers.If you look close you will see a raised spot to the left with some small feathers coming out of it. Not sure what this is. I put some neosporin on it. Should I pull the small feathers out? Anyone else ever see this?

Not all breeds start laying at the same age. Also some chickens don't lay well in cold weather. As Huntinwidow said, when chickens are re-located it takes them sometime to get over the move. I wouldn't worry too much, just give them a little time.

Hello FDaniels, I agree with Tomtommom on the chicks. We like to start with chicks and handle them to get them used to us. We have Autralorps, Frizzles, and 1 Easter Egger. They are all friendly with us and good layers. The Australorps are the best layers and the EE is the friendlist. My friend...
