    Good coops??

    So we'll be getting some ducklings and chicks soon, and we were thinking about making a coop in these rooms, does it seem okay? The rooms are in an old shed, we will ofcourse empty out everything and put in what they need and clean it, it looks dirtier on camera rather than what it actually is...

    Ducklings

    Would it be safe for my ducklings to sleep in dog/cat beds? (new, not used) and have stuff like blankets and stuffed animals around their coop? I will have straw, hay and normal bedding underneath and then the beds ontop, is that okay for them?

    Ducklings afraid of Brinsea EcoGlow

    Hi all, I have 5 Rouen ducklings, 10 days old. I bought a Brinsea EcoGlow and just put it in their brooder, and they fled in fear, chirping loudly. They seem very afraid of it. Has anyone had this experience? Hoping they get used to it and go under it. Thanks!

    Hi all, our Buff just hatched a 2 ducklings yesterday. Our city doesn’t allow more than 4 hens, and we have a family lined up to take them now that they’re hatched… I’m wondering when would be least stressful for the new babies?

    Makeshift Duckling Food?

    I have 5 four week old muscovy ducklings I'm currently raising. I fed them the last of their duckling crumbles today and didn't get a chance to run by the store to get more like I intended (a crisis came up in the chicken coop). So... I put together a quick batch of something to hold them over...
