New Back Yard Farmer.. Forced Rescue!

[DucksOhio]

Go on Amazon type in mealworms you can choose best price and if you have prime free shipping.

I get my mealworms from amazon as well - picky neb is the brand I buy - 5lb bag. I have to keep it sealed up - the house mice like them too.

Just got caught up on your progress since being on hiatus for a spell. Awesome! Those are some lucky ducks - and now chickens, too! I love it!

A local pet supply place I frequent orders live meal worms for me. I am thinking of starting my own mealworm farm. The girls like 'em live!

 

[Miss Lydia]

The girls like 'em live! I bet I just don't like em live in my house.

I LOLed at this!

I plan to keep them in a big container in my garage. The feed store offered crickets, too. I am sure my birds would love to chase them, but - OMG - nooooooooo! Could you imagine?! Noisy gardens, noisy coop....

 

[Miss Lydia]

It would def be noisy garden and coop although I do enjoy hearing the spring peepers and crickets(outside)

It’s like she has taken over the role of dominate drake. Do you ever bring out treats and she act like this?

Could she be protecting a nest? i sposed if she were she wouldnt leave the nest

Wife every morning bring out meal worms she is loud but don't run to her and quiets right down. I tried and the other 2 will eat from my hand she eventually will grab and run! I am the only one taking the eggs every couple days.

 

[Miss Lydia]

She maybe broody but they don’t usually leave the nest just pinch the daylights out of you when you try and get the eggs. Hard to know what’s going on do you ever just go out and sit with them ? Just wondering how she acts if your just out there hangin out for a while?
