My drake chased my 40lb tom turkeys around. That drake found a new home because the turkey wasn't the only one he wanted to chase. New drake and ducks live in the barn with chickens, turkey, goose and goats. I think it would depend how they are raised. My tom is a easy going guy do no...

Good grief I just checked the forecast. Its supposed to be 5* Wednesday night and 28* tonight. Glad we got out and enjoyed the sunshine today. All that mud will be frozen. Now is not when I enjoy my feather legged bantam.

Looks like I missed a whole page of post. LOL. I'm in North Georgia. Crazy weather here. Thunderstorms and flooding yesterday, 68* today, down in the 20's Tuesday...

My ducks, goose, turkey, chickens and even the goats eat 22% layer pellets. They all free range together. They get kitchen scraps and treats. I haven't had anybisdyes with any of them. Now the goat people will ho crazy to hear me say that but they would leave their food for the birds do I...

If all they do is sleep I think they would be fine in there. I'm not sure about temperature in your area I imagine hot. Would they over heat in a closed up house? My 5 ducks and goose sleep in a pile in the barn. They have plenty if room, but still stay close together.

Mine started laying at about 5 months and could fly enough to fly over the chickens to get to the food first when I opened the barn door, but sadly not enough to get away from a fox.

Didn't all those breeds originate from mallards? My guess would be the hidden genes came out in the cross.

My Rouen will lay a few weeks and then take a few off.

I'm in the south. The hawks are big. Everyone gets locked up at night. All the loses are coming from free range flocks. The coops haven't been touched. I'm thinking they are being hit at the back near creek. Fox usually go for the cats and kittens first. Things will be locked and loaded...

Is it possible for a hawk to get a large duck. I had two go missing Subday still no sign of them. Not a missing feather or anything. I also lost a bantam roo a week or so ago and a Welsumer roo with a bad leg was taken Friday. There were a few feathers from that one. I heard a hawk...

I don't know what breed my Qwackers is. She looks a lot like yours, but in blue. Its not letting me load pictures again...

Same here

Mine free range on 3 acres and they put themselves to bed in the barn every night. They do stay out later in the evening than the chickens though.

Come on guys your not going to offend me. I just need a idea of what to charge someone wanting a trio of my ducks.

What is a fair price for Cayuga x Rouen 3.5 month old?

ringaring We were talking about kids (human) getting chiggers. I don't put anything on my ducks.

I haven't found a tick anywhere or on anything since I got chickens. Does the oil stain your clothes?

Well I'm in Georgia and its parasite central. To treat them we use nail polish. I use bleach it burns like heck but it makes the itch stop. As a preventative I use bug spray with DEET. I don't put anything on yard or chickens just us. Mostly clothing. On a visor, hat, to keep the gnats out of...

How many eggs is she sitting on. I know nothing of the breed, but with any new Mama a few babies say 4 or 5 don't over whelm them as much as a large number.

I hope my experience puts you at ease some. I had a Cayuga drake. I never saw him breed anything, but the goose who would run in front of him and lay down. My duck eggs were fertile so he was doing his job. My goose went broody. I gave her duck and turkey eggs. He got so protective of her I...
