Hello all! I have added 14 new chicks to my tiny flock of 2! Our coop and run, thankfully, are big enough to have it separated into two so everyone can see each other but the babies are safely in their own section. I’m hopeful they are all females as that’s what I paid for! I snapped a few...
I have 3 girls that are 23.5 weeks old and 2 that are 21.5 weeks old! This is the first time they've laid and it's very egg-citing :) :) :) This was yesterday morning and this morning they've given me 1 new egg! I'm on the West Coast in Canada and our mornings are quite frosty now, I assumed...
Hello! I'm very new to ducks and I have 3 white Runners and 3 black Runners that have been crossed with something else. The white boy is very easy to spot from his tail curl and his voice is so distinctly different from the females. The black ones I was told were 3 females but I do have 1 who...
I picked up 3 new black female Runner Ducks today! I had 1 male and 2 females already. I took the advice of folks on here and added a separate area for the new ducks beside the others. I'm lucky enough to have a garden shed I emptied and added a pool with hay for a shelter for the new ones...
My 3 Runner Ducks are 13 weeks old, 1 male and 2 females. I have the opportunity to bring home 3 more Runners that are 15 weeks old. I'm going to look at them in a few days and choose the females. I'm hoping I can hear the difference between the males and females. Because my 3 now have such...
3 days ago I got my new Runner Ducks! The first night was a big struggle to get them in their coop, the second day they didn't want to leave the coop and spent the entire day inside but today...today was a great day!! I opened the door at dawn and after a few minutes they came out, stretched...
I'm a beginner in all things concerning ducks! I brought my 3 new runner ducks home this morning, 2 females and 1 male. They haven't been exploring much, haven't touched their food but they have been for a swim in their kiddie pool and have all been drinking water. I have 2 questions... 1...
I have 6 female Runner Ducklings coming next month! I had chickens a few years back but unfortunately what I thought was raccoons that killed all of them turned out to be my MIL's German Shepard. Her dog passed a few years ago now and we've done a lot of landscaping to our yard since with more...
Thank-you all for you advice! Boyfriend and I have been discussing our new Fort Knox chicken run. All your thoughts and opinions are welcomed and thank you for your kind words
3 days ago a racoon family got in and killed all my hens. They had all just started laying and 2 of them I had raised from chicks It's really heartbreaking to look out my kitchen window and not see them in their run. We had been locking them in their coop at night and letting them out in the...
