So I am seriously considering getting my first batch of ducklings, and I was wondering if I should offer them free choice feed like I do with my hens, or feed them in the mornings and evenings. I can't find any info anywhere on it!! Also, I have a VERY small spring fed pond (that is about 6ft...

I have no idea how much expirience anyone on here has on ducks, but I considering getting my first batch of ducklings, and I have one major question:): I have a small spring-fed pond behind my chicken coop that I thought would be perfect for the ducks, the only issue is that there are frogs and...

I know its very early to even be thinking about this, but I just get so excited! So I have a beautiful buff orpington roo, (as seen in profile pic) and this will probably be his last viable breeding year (he is either 3 or 4, we rescued him so not sure) and I have a variety of hens. (17 to be...

I am renovating my coop and am considering making a covered dust bath so that it can be out in the run without having to worry about exposure to the elements. (I live where the winters are long and cold and the springs are cold and wet, so I'll take any ideas that I can get), as my hens have...
