Thanks for the suggestion. I have heard that that can sometimes help. I'd like to have more chick's, but...my sister (and, the home owner) says no, lol. We do have 3 roosters, who happen to be quite interested, but they are Bantams and quite mean.

I have a hen that has been staying on the unfertilized eggs, and then staying in the empty nesting box after the eggs are removed. I like your advice and plan to start trying something similar in the morning. 😊

When I got my ducks I was told that they are Pekin-Runner mix

W Which are Cayugas? I have ducks that look like the dark one with the white breast in your photo. Mine are mostly black, one with th full white breast and the other is mottled and both have iridescent green and blue. One is slightly smaller than the other and it still peeps and sometimes...

I have a black Old English Bantam rooster. Believed it to be a pullet when I bought it. He is quite beautiful to look at.

Thank you! That's very helpful.

These are my ducks now...compared to when i got them less than a month ago. The feeder next to them is the same siz as the waterer in the bottom photo. Left is Pip and right is Duckie. Pip is slightly smaller and has been making occasional quacking sounds.

That's what I've always used for my chickens, but always open to suggestions. :)

What about grass clippings? My mower jas a bagger and I usually just dump it on the compost pile, but could I give so e of it to my ducks? My chickens free range so they help themselves to it. My ducks are quite ready to be pur out on their own.

I'm trying to find the best thing to use on the coop floor. I use pine shavings for my chickens, as well as for my ducks that are still inside. But, wondering if anyone has any better ideas. 😊 thanks

Ah, I see. If you go straight on D, instead of turning on Y, that is the direction I live, lol.

This is Jole. He was Jolene, lol
