What a sweet pic. glad she is settled. I've got one more move for my broody, when hatch starts I will put her into the lil coop so she can have even more privacy and a little fenced in area just for her and babies. Around 15-17 more days for my girl.
What do you mean what to do when these hatch?She's sitting tight this morning refusing to get off the nest. Sweet she did'nt reject the clutch now I have to figure out what to do when these hatch lol. Never a dull moment around here.
No you wait till ducklings are at least 3 weeks old to try putting them together, hens can be so mean and peck out eyes, give the ducklings a chance to put size on and be able to get out of their way . Mama Ducks are not as protective of their young as chickens are. I'm putting up a temp area for mine since all my flock is together and last year we lost 2 ducklings one to stampede and the other we're not sure, my dachshund brought it inside the house but my dh thinks someone else killed it, we just don't know. But I am not taking any chances.
No not all the answers k but learned from experience. and some of those lessons were hard.
He thought it was visiting hours. Bless.Tell me about it I told dh NOT to let the drake out and keep them separated well... he thinks he knows it all sooooo ! There ya go duhThank goodness non of the eggs are crushed she's still upset & wont leave the clutch...
