    OHio ~ Come on Buckeyes, let me know your out there!

    I am hoping they are wrong about this winter. They have been wrong before. Where I am at we have not had any rain for quite a while and the leaves are falling dead off of the trees. We're predicted rain for tomorrow and this week so hopefully we will get some as the other predictions before...

    Drake so protective of eggs he chases away the nesting hen?

    A drake will also chase a hen off of the nest so that the hen will be available for mating and not tending to ducklings. They do not want the eggs to hatch as it will interfere with their access to be able to mate with the hen.

    Calls and buff ducks

    You will more than likely not have any issues with over mating until next spring. Then is when they will be old enough for problems to arrise should you have 3 males and one female. If you do not want eggs, you could possibly rehome the female and keep an all drake flock which works out well...

    Moving to ireland

    I have been following along. Good luck with your move and animals my friend. It will be an adjustment but I am sure you will do just fine. May God watch over you and your family.

    Wound from dog attack

    I bought barrier sections on Amazon and from our local Sam's Club that I pounded into the ground all the way around my coops to keep anything from digging under. So far so good. The ones from Sam's club cost more but were a lot heavier and stronger than the Amazon ones. It ended up being...

    You are most welcome and I am so happy to hear that they are responsible people that will hopefully keep this from ever happening again.

    Please, show me your ducks

    Oh how Cute they are!!! I have 6 Call Ducks in with all of my flock and they are the littles that I love so much. My ratio is off with them as I have 3 males and 3 females but my males also go after my bigger ducks so it has worked out well. I had a black bibbed one but gave it away because...

    The Quack Shack

    This is what my little Mallard hatches out also. I have learned after finding out that the hen determines the sex of the ducklings not to ever let her hatch anything out ever again. Out of 35 ducklings over the years, 33 drakes and 2 hens! My little Call Duck just gave me 2 hens that I...

    OHio ~ Come on Buckeyes, let me know your out there!

    Thank you for the well wishes. It sounds like you have lots to keep you busy too. I love all of my ducks and have 7 of the big TSC pens all connected to keep them safe which works out well for all of them. I bet donkeys and goats would keep you even more bussier! lol Have a good day Knobby.

    OHio ~ Come on Buckeyes, let me know your out there!

    I have wondered about everyone also Knobby. It was great seeing you on here. My two Call Ducks I hatched out in my incubator in the spring were both girls so that was a real blessing. I now have 26 ducks, 22 hens and 4 little drakes. It's a good mix and everyone gets along well. I hope all...

    The Quack Shack

    My Khakis were always easy to sex once feathered because my drakes would always have the dark rump while my girls had a lighter one. I hope you end up with a lot of females.
