You're so welcome. I know exactly what you mean; I only have one Khaki now, but the noise was deafening back when there were two.

The Buff was loud, too!

Congratulations! Is that your first duck egg?

Question; Any of you duck & chicken people ever had one of your hens picking on your duck. This just started here about a week ago & happens about once a day. Weird thing is that its my lowest ranking, most timid chicken that's causing all the fuss. Nobody, and I mean NOBODY messes with my beloved Mako Mori & gets away with it. I'm a vegetarian & these are my kids pets so I cant send Little Miss Trouble Maker off to Freezer Camp or give her away, but shes gotten a flip flop in the butt a few times, has been put in a time out a few times & has lost some snack privileges. My crazy menagerie of critters usually gets along really well... Keep your fingers crossed for me that this all blows over soon.
I don't know. I'm not surprised the lowest ranking one is doing it; my lowest ranking chicken always caused the most trouble, but she doesn't bother the ducks ..... they bother the chickens! Hope they start getting along soon!

my ducks hatched 6/1,2,3 so they are approx 6 weeks old, what protein should i be feeding them?
my current all flock starter is 22% and says for ducks up to 4 weeks old
I believe 15-18% is best, but I think you can give them a little higher, just watch out for leg and wing problems - 'least that's according to to Storey's book on ducks.

I got some new ducks from Craigslist today!! I got a Buff hen and a Campbell hen. They are both 1 years old and laying. The Buff is molting that's why she doesn't look good. She also is really small. Any ideas how to restore her normally weight?
But they are loud!


Co-ol! Not sure about the weight problem.
