Would love to find more people from our province.
While we meet some at the poultry shows, this would be a cool way
to connect more and share with people that do not get of the farm much;0)
:frow
Thanks for adding us. We run a hobby farm in western Canada.
I grew up with exotic fowl from peacock to Emperor geese, to regular chickens and
ducks of different breeds. It is not so exotic for us now. We focus more on heritage
breeds and have a handful of SL Wyandottes, heritage ducks and Rex...
we rescued a Cayuga drake maybe 2 or so months ago..
he doesn’t have a name yet. We just call him black. Lol
I want him to have a cute name like my other ducky’s.
Their names are: Puddles, Waddles and Bear. And they are Rouens.
Here is a picture of him..
First winter with my 4 ducks and first couple of single digit days. They have icicles all over their feathers. They have all the shelter recommendations for type of duck/number of ducks.What should I do? Should I be freaking out? Title should be “Icy Cayugas” not “Icey”
Hi friends! So after much thought, I have decided to sell two of my femakeCayugas. They were bought as day olds in May. I just miss my Ancona boys, Morgan and Belvedere, who both died last May. I just miss them so much and want to add two male Anconas to my flock. But in order to be fair to my...
Hi there!
This is our first year owning backyard poultry. We have four Cayuga ducks. The weather has just started getting cold in Southeastern Wisconsin. Normally, my ducks would come outside, forage, go for a swim, and then eat some pellets and drink from their drinking tub.
Lately, they won't...
OK,
I know a lot of people have a lot of trouble incubating shipped eggs. I got 12 Cayuga eggs. One was smashed on delivery and went in the bin. One was infertile.
So I now have 10 of 10 fertile eggs on day 18 moving vigorously.
The air cells aren't good some worse than others and I even...
Hi,
I was cooling my day 13 Cayuga eggs today. I'd had a horrid day after a few sleepless nights with sick kids.
I forgot and left it off for a bit over an hour.
My incubator takes less that five minutes to get up to temp and humidity.
Will this be disasterous? I'm freaking out a bit :'(
Hi,
I got these lovely little mules today for $10. Very sweet, so quiet.
Any idea what gender? I tried to get girls, these were smaller, less upright, no green on the backs only wing tips. They are 8 months. They barely make a noise when the quack because of the Muscovy it's a squeak quack.
Hi All,
I am desperately looking for help. We have (had) three Cayuga Ducklings, about 4 months old now. We recently moved them outside with some older but not mature ducks of ours and they were doing great. Well, we went outside Saturday morning to find one of them all but dead, she wouldn't...
Hello!
If I could have looked into my future 10 years ago into today I would be shocked. I was a city girl, raised in Chicago IL for most my life. After we transitioned to the far suburbs, we wanted something larger with no association rules so we moved to a 5 acre horse farm. Well we don't...
I'm looking for opinions on adding to my flock. I have 4 9-week-old ducks, 2 pekin and 2 cayuga. I believe the 2 pekin are both female, based on voice sexing, but the 2 cayugas have been so quiet comparatively, I am starting to think neither of them will be female. I was hoping for 3 female and...
I just purchased my first ducks which I will be picking up tonight (Three 1 year old Cayugas - 1 Drake, 2 Ducks). I built a coop for them approximately 5'x5' with an attached run that is 5'x13'. My plan is to not provide food or water in the coop during the night but give them access to...
