Would you have stood by and watched the same attack on a puppy by an adult dog? There is nothing natural about keeping fowl in runs. It is up to us to observe and manage our flocks to determine when something is not right and take steps to correct problems. If you, "LoveThemBirds," as...

At six weeks old we switch to 1/2 Starter + 1/2 Grow Feed for two weeks then just Grow for a couple of months. You can switch when your breed is mature to lay mash or lay pellets. -DB

Congrats! Do you know who the father is?

Wow! What breed is she? -DB

My 4 KCs were sold to me as 1 drake and 3 females. I am glad they turned out to be 4 females. I get 4 big duck eggs everyday and no drake drama. The KCs live in harmony in the same run with 18 chickens and two roosters. -DB

No. Just like chickens and Hmmmm female humans, male companionship is not necessary for ovulation. -DB

For the member who told us about her ducklings climbing up the back of her couch: https://www.facebook.com/PBSNature/videos/vb.217649245509/10155400756950510/?type=2&theater -DB

That is a very nice pool. Have you planned how you are going to drain the pool once it is in the ground? A sump pump is an option or gravity if you install a drain before you bury the pool. With 4 ducks we have to change the water in our pool every day. Since water conservation is an issue...

Neat! I have never had a goose or goose eggs. I've incorporated duck eggs into many of our recipes. How are goose eggs to cook and bake with?

Reese7383 Impressive! We have Khaki Campbells so enjoy an egg a day out of each of our 4 girls. Is the extra large egg on the right out of a KC? -DB

Adorable! I am so jealous...my full incubator of KC eggs shipped and abused by USPS produced exactly zero ducklings. Will be driving to Lake Elsinore this week to hand carry home some local fertile KC eggs. LoveMeSome KC Ducks

Good Job! Looks like poultry heaven. -DB

I think my KCs are beautiful.

Depends on the breed. Laying most of the year, my Khaki Campbells lay an average of 320 eggs a year. -DB

I think your babies are too young to be with a flock with a mature drake. If you can, cordon off a part of your run where the babies can see and be seen but are out of the reach of that drake. After the babies are older you can try to integrate the flock. I would wait until the little ones...

Congratulations on your growing flock. We feed Non Medicated Chick Starter to baby ducks. They love it and thrive on it. Must be Non Medicated.

I love my Khaki Campbells. You can't beat the egg production. Four ducks and day after day four eggs. They live in the same run with 18 heavy hens and two roosters. All eat the same things and get along well. -DB
