I also had one swoop down right behind me and grab one of my young cochins. My dog tried to jump up and grab him. It took me a second to realize what it had a hold of, because it grabbed from behind and then flew right over my head. Then I turned around and noticed my Cochin missing. That's...
I had a bald eagle swoop down and grab one of my hens last year. The neighbor dog startled it and it dropped her. She had a few really deep puncture wounds, but lived.
I had someone steal one of my call duck photos and use it on a local Craigslist ad. I emailed them and they took it down. That's just dishonest. It's misrepresenting what they're selling.
PinOak Ridge, do you also raise hair sheep? I tried finding you on Facebook, hoping to see what you have available for sale, but wasn't 100% sure it was your page.
Now that breeding season is starting, my ducks get their special treat every morning. Lettuce, rolled oats, cat food, and hard boiled egg topped with salmon oil.
I have 5 drakes to rehome. 3 gray, 2 blue fawn. If anyone near St Paul, Mn wants one, they are free! I'm to the point of considering letting them go for butcher.
I've been trying to hatch a blue fawn drake for 3 years. All of my ducklings turn out to be hens. Finally, this year I got a few drakes. I'm selling a pair today. So I'll be left with 4 blue fawn hens, 3 gray hens, 1 pastel hen, 1 white hen, 1white drake, 1 pastel drake, 2 gray drakes, 1...
My ducks all have their feathers intact. I only clip when bringing new ones in. Once they are bonded to the rest of the flock they don't go anywhere. Mine will fly around the yard, but it's probably good for their wings to do so. But they know food, water and shelter are here and they are...
I realized today that I have 7 drakes and 10 hens. I think I better sell more drakes. I had someone lined up to come get a white drake last week, but she left with a pastel instead. Lol.
I was talking about the Canada geese. Lol I used to have one and I loved her. I miss her so much. I can't say I'd appreciate that many in my yard. Maybe 6 would be ok. That sounds messy.
