How important is it for a ducks to have a solid pond to use? I ask because until yesterday the info I came across was essentially that a kiddie pool is good enough for a few ducks. But I came across a video in which the person was talking about mistakes they made with ducks. They mentioned...

I am close to ordering Silver Appleyards, but before doing so there are some questions I couldn't find any info for. Hopefully someone who is more knowledgeable than me can give there insight: I had khakis last year, but moved them on. They were waaay too skiddish. I am getting a less...

One of my hens was injured by a racoon or fox. She doesn't seem to be in much pain, so culling is not an option, and it is too early to tell if there is an infection. This is not a good time financially for me to take her to the vet. I have attached pics, what can be done?

Hello, today was the first time I could free range my Khakis (4). They are pretty much full grown. I was under the understanding that returning them to the coop would be "easy," because they are pretty herdable...That is not the case. I just spent an hour trying to get them back into their...

I am new to raising poultry/waterfowl. I errored badly in my planning and got the wrong breed for my situation. I have Pekins, for which I underestimated greatly the space that they need. I have 5 females about a month old. 1 had a niacin deficiency, although she seems to have recovered, yet...

Hello, I'm new at raising any poultry. My ducklings are one month old, and it is time that I get to planning/building their coop and area. I have some questions before I start gathering materials. I have pekins, and I am assuming of building coop and space based on the largest suggestion of...

One of my 5 pekin ducklings (almost 4 weeks old) is having a walking issue. Just a short while ago I went to feed them, all of them went to run to the corner of the pen away from me (as usual, I have been working on them getting used to me, but it is taking time). One of them took a while to...

The people on this forum have been very helpful, thank you. I am new to poultry, ducks specifically. I have Pekins which are almost 3 weeks old. They don't have their feathers yet, but this week the forecast for most days is the temp to get into the high 50's low 60's in the afternoon. Is...

Hello, I'm brand new to keeping any poultry. I have 5 female Pekins just under 2 weeks old. Since I have moved them to a much larger space I have not been able to pick any of them up unless I chase it down, which I don't think I should do. The first day I had them didn't go so well. One of...

I am thinking of getting pekins (only females) for both eggs and as pets. Although I have researched online (it seems like half of the sources are just reproductions of Stories), I would like to hear from experienced Pekin owners on some concerns I have: Will the cost of feeding them greatly...

New here and to raising birds. 1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? Hey buddy, who are you calling a chicken, huh....I'm here for ducks, maybe look into quail and/or chickens after I feel confident with ducks. (2) How many ducks do you have right now? 0, I am in the...

I haven't found a firm answer on duck poop. I hope that my young dog and ducklings form a strong bond and when the ducks are grown I can let them forage in the dog's 30 x 18 foot dog pen which the dog has access to via a doggy door in the house backdoor. Yet my second concern after if they...
