    New chickies!

    Has anyone here introduced chickens to a duck flock? I'm thinking once they're feathered, we should take a couple field trips first. The ducks will probably be scared of them (they were terrified of a rubber mat we put under their water dishes 🤣)

    Perfect Mother's Day presents! The ducks are so much fun, we decided to add some chickens! (And yes, all the ducks are girls).

    New ducklings are here! Question about Niacin

    Thank you so much! We have 1 Pekin in the dozen, so we'll keep feeding them this food without adding Niacin. I've read you can feed them the same crumble, but add oats after 2-3 Weeks to cut down the protein. Have you had success with this? Or should I switch to a lower protein crumble? I only...

    New ducklings are here! Question about Niacin

    New ducklings arrived from McMurray on Wed. We're feeding them Dumour 22% protein with niacin duck crumbles. Should I be adding additional niacin to their diet at this point?

    Can someone help me with identifying this bunny's gender?

    Thanks so much for your help. Do you know how early a vet will neuter/spay bunnies? I feel so bad separating her from her two cuddle buddies.

    Can someone help me with identifying this bunny's gender?

    Can someone help me with identifying this bunny's gender?

    Bunny sold to us as male and we have "him" with 2 other males. Can anyone confirm the gender for us? I'm not very experienced with this, but my hunch is female.

    Duck house

    Hi everyone. We are getting ready to build our wooden a frame for our ducklings who will be arriving soon. I was wondering, has anyone had success using a large metal shed as a duck shelter? We're curious if this would work if we cut big windows on top for ventilation, and covered with hardware...

    Is an all female flock ok?

    We are first time duck owners, anxiously awaiting our ducklings from McMurray Hatchery this May. I've done a lot of research, and settled on an all female flock (11 ducks, different breeds). Has anyone else had a flock this large with no drake? Should we add a drake or 2? And if so, what breed...
