    You can ask to be put under, my aunt did that. I was the opposite, when they told me it was time for an emergency c-section, I was terrified if they put me under, I wouldn't wake up. Then they keep you in the hospital for a few days usually I think. We had to stay longer, but in the hospital...

    The best advice I read in a baby book was don't get stuck on a plan. Plan what you want, try for it, but there is no wrong was to have a baby. I wanted a natural birth, but it didn't happen. One thing with kids, plans seem to change. Your baby could decide to get in the right position or they...

    I had an emergency c-section, I won't go into it at all, but having it planned and not when you are in full on labor it should go smoothly. I don't blame you for being scared, but I'm sure it will all be fine. A healthy baby is what's most important. That's what I remind myself. Congratulations...

    I think it sounds like they should be fine, especially with the adult ducks not seeming to mind them. They will huddle together in the house for warmth if they get cold. I say put them out now, see if they seem to get too cold during the day and if they seem to be fine, keep them out and put...

    I think they should be fine, but I would be worried about them with the two older ducks. Have they been around each other? We introduced a new duck, who was an adult, to are ducks. They were all the same age and it didn't go well at first. I felt bad having to put them together at night. They...

    I don't know then, how many do you have? A heat lamp from any feed store that's for ducks and chicks shouldn't be a fire hazard, but if you don't have a way to plug it in, that's a problem. My husbands an electrician, so I just said "put a plug here" when I was ready to put them outside . They...

    I put mine out when they were little and just had them in a area that was fully in closed so nothing could get to them (even had a roof) and I had a heat lamp in their house and on at all times so they could warm up if they got cold.

    Yes, it definitely could have been a skunk. We're is town, but there's plenty of places for wild animals to eat and hide in town and I live in a small town. I need to figure out how to keep whatever it was out from under their house. There is a spot in the fence that looks like something might...

    I went out this morning to let the ducks out and something had dug under their house and out the other side! It also went through their nest (if one of my ducks lays a late egg during the day she had a little nest she sits on with a rock she put in it that's kind off egg shaped, sometimes she...

    I've been reading along, but haven't commented, sometimes just reading everything is a lot! I'm sorry about your male duck. We got a new duck about a month ago now. The two ducks we had weren't very pleased. Are male would attack Jemima (the new duck) non stop. We kept them separate then I...

    I see I have become a bad influence with just one post! Haha! Good news, my husband was excited to see the new duck and happy to hear the drake will be leaving Friday.

    Thanks all. She is a great addition. My son is happy. Not eating any of the duck feed yet. I think she's pretty scared. A new place ad is away from her other ducks that she knows, but I think she's coming around. She seems more comfortable in the yard and is foraging and jumped right in the pond...

    Love the duck pictures that have been posted. Duckling pictures and the adult duck pictures! The blue runner posted was pretty cool! Well, my duck loving friends, I went to a poultry swap at the local farm store yesterday. I just went to stop in as something to go with my son. I wasn't going...

    Put 1-2 Tbs Apple cider vinegar in a gallon of water. I did that when my duck was all stuffy. I think it was Miss Lydia who told me. Put it in water that's deep enough to put their beaks in. I cut a hole in a milk jug and put water and vinager in it, then also put another deep dish out with...
