    Eye color?

    :jumpy:celebrate5 out of my 6 incubated eggs hatched yesterday and all babies are doing great. YAY! But I was wondering, will their eye color change? They’re dark brown right now and I was wondering if they’ll stay the same or turn yellow? Just a curious question. :) :wee

    New bunny mama

    So we've been trying to breed our new Zealand and surprise when she had babies! There were 10. I've had to move them back into the nest three times now. They keep ending up out on the wire. So I can't tell if she's moving them or rejecting them. She's a first time mama so I'm wondering if she's...

    We made it passed the 2 week mark!

    We are new chicken owners. Back in March we ordered 3 chicks and 3 ducklings. We got our order, but all but 1 chick (Henrietta) died. My husband, my son Arie (8) and I were pretty devastated. Well we ordered again, from a different hatchery and our babies turned 2 weeks old yesterday and are...

    I want to release my ducklings, share methods and opinions, please!

    I'm currently looking over seven (mallards, I believe?) ducklings. However, I think it would be in their best interest (and mine too, since keeping them is probably illegal: I live in MI) if I release them soon so they have a chance to become the wild waterfowl that they are intended to be...

    How many times do they have to mate to get fertile eggs

    I have a female muscovy duck and if I want her to have babies I need a male. There are plenty of males just living and being a nuisance in my neighborhood. Can I just walk my duck around the block to search for a male and let them do the dirty? How many time would I need to do that? Is it possible?

    Duckling check in

    I just wanted to make sure my two 2 week old ducklings were doing good so far. They are a blue Swedish and black cayuga. They are sort of losing their down? Some parts will be off just floating around? Is that anything to worry? There isn't much. Here are some pics: please ignore the poop:sick

    Letting the ducklings out...

    Yesterday I let the babies out and let them wonder the yard for a little bit. We ate mud and found a puddle. Lol The big ducks acted scared of them so we didn't have any problems other than they followed us around. :)
