Welcome to BYC! Please make yourself at home and we are here to help.

Part of my family lives in Texas too!
It sounds like you have a lovely flock! Those are some great breeds and I simply love their names!!

Do you have pics? We would love to see pics of all your pretty birds! Oh and feel free to check out our duck section.

I have had to isolate Ruby because the others have been picking at her. She had even spent the night outside the coop. I found her inside the coop while the others were outside and she had the back of her neck bloody from where the others had pecked her. She does not seem to want to eat much and her poop is watery. What should I do, I don't want to loose her too?

Try posting under "emergencies, diseases, injuries and cures" , hopefully someone who is knowledgeable about that issue will see it and respond. Sorry can't offer more

I have to send an update to the family, it turns out all three ducks are drakes. so instead of Daphne, Delilah, and Daisy. It's now Daffy, Donald, and Delbert. They are all still beautiful birds, but, I want eggs and or babies. The Barred Rocks are mixing in fine, it's still obvious there is a pecking order and they are at the bottom, but there is no fighting. The Barred Rocks have yet to roost in the hen-house with the others. instead, they like to hang out on the fence just under the satellite dish all night. They seem to like high places. I have also added a pig to the mix, in a separate pen of coarse, but he has proven to be very destructive. Which now has me rethinking the adequacy of our current housing situation. His name is Albert.
