You could try sprinkling some red pepper flakes in the duck feed. It actually has some nutritional benefits for the ducks, but the squirrels won't touch it. You don't need to use a lot, just a light sprinkle, then mix it in. We keep our feed inside the coop, and our cats and dogs go in and...

Hiya, and welcome to BYC!! :frow Love your intro! We love pictures if you have any to share.

We use those in our coop and brooder whole, not wet, but I can't see those working for ducks unless they have no water around where they bed at night. If they are used with say a small bucket of water in their "coop", they'll splash that water all over the place. The pellets then turn to...

Hi. I would read this post or the whole thread may interest you.

I hope I'm understanding your situation. I wouldn't put HWC down on the base/floor of your coop. That could be a source for injury, plus make it harder to clean. In addition, it will inhibit grass growth to a certain extent. Once you park it permanently for a few/several months of winter...

To post your video, you'd need to post it on YouTube and then link it back to here. Has this chick been walking around fine before? The first photo looks like that would be hot/infected. I'd soak it in warm Epsom salt water and see if you can tell what that is, as it looks like it's either...

Hiya, and welcome to BYC!! :frow Awe, Penny sounds so sweet! She's beautiful as is the other one. :love

You are doing wonderfully!! Make sure whatever rooster booster you're giving them has Vitamin E and the B's or B-complex. It should. If not, Poultry Cell (rooster booster) is very complete. That'll help their muscles and give them strength. I hope they get strong and healthy! Keep up...

That looks and sounds like one to me. Eight weeks is a little early though. Mine are generally three months, and most of the time four months. Sure is cute doing that!

So sorry no duck folks saw this apparently. By now they must've hatched?

Happy Birthday! 🎉
