flying

My Barred Rocks are 2 and a half weeks old. And boy are they growing fast! I been using a heating plate and an addition heat source keeping the area around 80 degrees in the shed. I am surprised how fast they are feathering out! Anyone else notice how fast they grow?! This is my 3 set of...

My dad, son and me built a new coop for our new chickens and we are going to put their exercise yard together this weekend. We are using dog run panels with chicken fence on the outside of each panel to prevent them from sneaking out and predators from getting in. With a 6 inch skirt to keep the...

Helloooo! Years ago I had someone come to my house and ask me if I could take 3 ducklings because they saw that they were standing on the side of the road with the possible mother that was hit by a car right next to them. I took them and we had bought other ducks like Pekins, Magpies, Rouen...

I'm probably not experienced enough to post this so I deeply apologize if I broke any rules making this. What's this about? Well basically just take a photo of one of your birds flying. It can be a chicken, duck, peafowl, pheasant, ̶B̶o̶e̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶7̶3̶7̶, or just anything that can fly. My old...

I was given a rooster who is very scared of me. Rounding him up into the pen is next to impossible, so he flies onto dangerous places. There’s history of snakes and definite cats in the area. I’ve properly clipped his wings, but he’s still getting to those high places. Afterwards, I did some...

Hello I have a 11-12 week old female Muscovy who has started flying 5-10 ish feet at a time and 1-5 feet off the ground, I read you have to wait till ducks are 15 weeks to clip wings, but would I be able to clip hers now, she seems to be almost ready to fly! I don't want her to make it into my...

Hey yall! So I am the proud owner of a lovely trio of Narragansett Turkey's. They are about a year old. I live on about an acre of land in the middle of a neighborhood in the middle of a giant city. There is about half an acre fenced off for my poultry to run around on, and I have 11 chickens...

I just got some Muscovy Ducks. I know that they're able to fly but I don't know how well they're able to. Can they fly long distances like wild ducks do or do they fly few inches or feet off the ground. I ask because I don't want them to fly away and there is a small pond in the woods behind my...

My Toulouse goose flew about 20 ft. about two feet over the ground!

Hi all. I haven't been on this lovely site for a while as I sadly had to rehome my gorgeous ducks a few years back due to relocation issues. But now however the ducks are back! Whoopie! Im picking up some runners soon but my o/h has decided he wants his own ducks and has decided on a pair of...

I have a drake around 8 months old and i've been discussing with my family whether or not i should teach him how to fly so...Should i teach him???

Hello! I have a pretty random question for you all, so I plan on traveling to Australia for a visit at some point, and I was curious if there are any flight or international flight regulations with flying with fertile Emu eggs or even small Emu chicks? Is it allowed? I've been researching...

I'm trying to get ahold of peacock hatching eggs, but I know they fare poorly in shipping so I'm looking to pick them up from a state that borders mine, which would be a pretty long drive. A family member of mine is a private plane pilot and would be willing to bus me out to pick up the eggs...

Hi y’all I have several Brown Leghorns. I know, I know…they are strong fliers. I just didn’t know How strong! I’ve clipped the flight feathers on Both wings and they STILL fly over my 50 inch fencing. About the only thing I can figure is to clip their primaries also. Any suggestions?? Thanks!

Any tips on keeping my pullets from hopping the fence and visiting the neighbor's yard? I like to have them free ranging on my property, but lately a couple have gotten brave and I don't want anyone thinking a free dinner walked into their yard. I have a privacy fence, so they are flying 6 ft up...

My 10 week old Easter Eggers are so inseparable they will fly over anything to be together ! Here is a cute short video of one flying over the pool and landing in our hand. Usually she lands on our head Video link: They love each other so much! Millie & Greta

Okay.. so my ducks fly little distances for fun.. and they also fly far distances lol almost over trees and power lines... and over to the field across the gravel road..(but only on windy days) I’m not exactly sure if the wind takes them and they fly that high and far or what?! Do you think...

Here's the thing, I have 3 Indian runner ducks which are not supposed to fly - at all. During their 7 months or so, they had shown extreme desire to fly and on several occasions, I have noticed they can lift off and fly 3 meters above ground, possibly higher. Longest distance so far was today...
