I would like to introduce to you my first Mandarin ducklings that I hatched from start to finish. I have hatched other Mandarins but only after mom has done all the work. This is the first ones that made it all the way to the end. This is the third time I have tried to hatch them myself but they...

I was asked a question and I wasn't sure of the answer so I thought I would ask the good folks here. Would two male mandarins be rough on one female? Since my mandarins all have mates, I wasn't sure but from what I've seen I would think that the female wouldn't be the one to worry about, it...

I could use some guidance on antibotics. I tried posting my problem in the Emergencies section but didn't get a single response. :hit I did put him on Duramyacin because I figured it was better than nothing. Here was my post. I got a new mandarin drake a while back and he was put in the...

I got a new mandarin drake a while back and he was put in the inside pen with a plastic fencing over the opening so he could see the other ducks. He somehow got a small cut on the side of the toe while pacing back and forth. I didn't notice it until after I let him in the pen with the others...

I watched a wild wood duck go into a hole in one of our trees down by the creek. I am assuming she must have a nest in there. My concern is when the ducklings come out. I know they fall to the ground OK but this hole is at least a good 50 ft above the ground. Do they really survive that kind of...

I saw this video on my local news this morning and thought I would share it with everyone. That is one smart duck. I hope this works. Enjoy :clap http://fox8.com/2012/04/11/web-video-of-the-day-duck-thinks-its-a-dog/ Don't know why the title keeps putting those symbols in it. That is not...

My DH and I are newbies at wine making. I have access to a lot of peaches, so I asked about making peach wine. We have googled a lot of recipes, but I would rather find out from experienced wine makers what to do and what not to do, because if we do something wrong, we won't know untill after...

Up for auction are 6+ Fertile Black East Indies duck hatching eggs. I ship Priority Mail with delivery confirmation. Shipping costs include my packaging fees. I only accept paypal and require payment within 12 hrs of auction ends because eggs are time sensitive. Eggs are packaged extremely well...

My Mandarin started to lay for the first time yesterday. I need your advice on, can I pull the egg from the box everyday? Will she continue to lay or will taking her eggs cause her to stop laying? Should I leave the eggs until she has more, then take. I don't want her to set right now. In fact...

I picked up my 25 cornish meat birds at 5 am today. I don't know what it is about meat birds that put off a completely different odor than my layer chicks. I have my 12 week old layer chicks in the house right now in a long rubbermaid container. If it weren't for them chirping, you wouldn't know...

It has been three yrs since I bought any new egg layers. I am so excited. I just had to share. The dogs are keeping watch. Australorp and Barred Rock. Golden Buffs same as Red Star Ameraucans...

I was at TSC today and they had this bin of chicks that was labeled Tetra Tints. I am completely baffled by this. What are Tetra Tints? I have never heard of this before. Is this something new? Would love to see a pic, if anyone has one. Thanks!

Be careful, once she starts showing one animal she will want to show more. We used cat carriers or small dog cages for pairs with towels in the bottom. Keep your eye on the local garage sales. As far as the illnesses go, that is something you will be taking a chance at unless your fair...

If so, do you like your company? Have you had to use it? I could really use some insurance about now. In the last 3 1/2 yrs my 6 yr old weimaraner has cost me $3127 and that doesn't include annual shots or food. In 2008 she had an emergency c-section to deliver three dead puppies that our past...

I just had to share with you all my newest Christmas decorations. My DH thinks I am completely nuts when it comes to my chickens and ducks, but look what he bought me today. They were clearanced at Lowes. That's why he said he bought them. Ya right! Do you think he earns the title of...

My DD has a 1968 Camaro that she bought when she was 14 and restored with the help of her dad. She purchased and restored the car with her own money that she had saved from 4-H and working a summer job. Together with my DH, 4 years and lots of hard work later her car was finished. She entered...

The only thing I want for X-mas is a wireless camera for my ducks nest box. I know nothing about them or what kind to get My DD asked me to show her what I wanted because dad doesn't know what to get either. My barn is about 150 ft. from the house. I would really appreciate any info. anyone...

I need to learn how to sex ducklings. I hatched 10 ducklings for myself and only got three females out of the bunch. So now I have seven Black East Indies drakes that need a new homes. They are three months old now and they are free to anyone willing to pick them up. Sorry I cannot ship. No...

I used my last doses of Heartguard on my two 58 & 63 lb Weimaraners. I called my vet and was told I have to have the heartworm test before I can get any more. Which to me is just a waste of money, so now I am looking elsewhere. I came across this site that sells a Generic version of Heartguard...

I almost step on this little guy in our yard. It didn't even move, even when I touched it with a stick. This is a pic of the mom. She's acting like she has a broken wing to distract me from the baby. This baby Killdeer. It is only about 4" tall. This is Mom and baby together. I have never...
