Our Ancona Drake, Clem is trying to kill the brahma roosters in the run!
The one rooster is ripped top of wattle down about 4 inches long! we put veterycin on it and gave him some antibiotics but DH don't care, the ducks have to go.
I locked him alone in the duck house for now, DH heard the commotion and came running and said I need to get rid of the ducks or he will get rid of them.
OMG the drake was physco and I couldn't even stop him! He flipped physco I swear! Is this normal or what!! I am so upset I have 17 eggs in the bator too!


I don't need this crap after I called the processing guy and dealing with setting all that chicken sheat up!
hy cant everyone even ducks and chickens get along!

Oh no, Sally, I'm so sorry! I don't know why they can't get along. Mine get along fine....most of the time.

How much would a Trio of ancona go for and should I even sell the drake!! The dirty RAT!

I don't know on price, but if you do sell them as a trio, just do fair warning on him.
 
This bunch of chicks/ducklings that I have in the brooder is NOISY!!!! They're constantly chattering to one another. I can hear them through the vents. With every other batch, that meant they needed water/feed, or the light moved....not this bunch. They just want to talk. I've checked dozens of times. Plenty of food/water. Not too hot (not spread all over) Not too cold (not huddled). How do those of you who have them in your living space deal with it???:rolleyes:

Most of the time it's the only company I have. I find it relaxing. (currently about 40 quail and 8 chicks beside me). Who needs a television?

Ok so i need input! I have a broody who I don't think was able to keep her eggs alive! They were supposed to hatch out on Wednesday and nothing so far! What do I do to get her to stop being broody?? I am at a loss I know she can't sit for another 3 weeks on new eggs! Hope someone has some advice!!

Also who had the easy way to do fermented feed?? I think I want to try it but don't want to do the long process?

Beta had the easy way. I BELIEVE it was sprinkling a little yeast on the feed, adding warm water to make it oatmeal. I think a pinch of sugar is needed. Try looking up her posts.

I can only offer a Leghorn pullet next to a bantam Cochin. They are only 3 days in the picture.
