    Muscovy drake trying to mate with the broody female duck while it is sitting on the eggs?!!

    Hello, I searched a lot about this problem before deciding to post, and I didn't find anyone talking about it. I have two muscovy drakes and two female muscovy ducks, and I know that is a very low ratio, but I couldn't buy more than two at that time because of the price, and I am planning to buy...

    3 week old ducklings introduced to adult flock, drake tried to "breed" with them

    So, here's my dilemma. It's kind of a long story so please bear with me. We bought 2 ducklings from TSC and the same day bought 4 chicks from a local non-chain farm store. They've been raised together and do great together. We then hatched out (via incubator) 9 baby chickens that we are brooding...

    My rooster is humping my drake

    My hens are 12 weeks, but my rooster is 10 weeks. my drake is 12 weeks too, so my rooster started to crow and seems to be at a mature age. My rooster however doesn't go after my hens, but instead goes after my drake. Should I worry about my drake getting internal injuries if I don't catch my...

    At what age can i put my ducks with my drake?

    I have two 12 week old silver appleyards I'd like to put In with my drake in the main flock. Are they old enough? If not, when would it be safe to do so. I do have 2 other ducks as well. So hopefully it will be an OK ratio.

    Would my Ko Shamo Rooster be able to mate with a O Shamo hen?

    My Ko Shamo pullet passed recently and my cockerel is distraught about it. I’ve been looking all over for a Ko female but to no luck. I really want to get him a mate but so far I can only find O Shamos. Would the O Shamo females be too large for my cockerel?

    Male Duck Trying To Mate With Chicken Hens !!!

    Hey ! So around March of last year I got a Pekin duckling and two Rhode Island Red chicks. At the time, being a new poultry owner, I didnt think too much about the sex of the duck. I raised them all together and they lived quite peacefully together. But these last few weeks Eli (the male pekin)...

    Adopting a racing pigeon tomorrow!

    One of my old friends whom I haven't heard from in years contacted me last evening. She said that they found a lost racing pigeon in their yard a while back, and have been caring for it ever since. They checked his leg bands (he has 3), and he's apparently from NY, but they don't want to send...

And should i get...

    Lone Toulouse Goose

    Recently while I was away on a trip one of my two geese was stolen (probably by a fox). I am now looking for a mate. Does anyone have, or know someone who has a Toulouse Gander that they do not want/need?
