    2 year review

    Hi all, It's been a long time since I posted and wanted to give an update on the duck life. So this is my 2 year review on how it's working. **The Animals** I originally started with 6 khakis. My rationale was that I wasn't fully into this idea and if we were going to do all this ****...

    Copper egg skelter

    I made these for mothers day. My sisters is long enough to hold over a dozen eggs in her kitchen window sill. My mother's fits inside her fridge (she buys store eggs). They both raved about them (both are big fans of anything I do). Do you like them? I'm considering making some and...

    What kind of duck is this one?

    I adopted a couple ducks from someone via Facebook. What is the large black duck with white crest? Size wise, it's nearly as large as a pekin. Pretty sure the solid black is a black Indian runner? On another note, what do a Khaki Campbell and a Welsh Harlequin look like side by side...

    Why do they still buy chickens???

    Lol. I have seen the light and it goes "quack". I'm a contractor and crazy enough, the fact that I have ducks has sent me a lot of business to fellow duck and chicken owners. Today, I'm called to a house in a great neighborhood, great front yard with lots of flowers, carefully manicured...

    What $400 from www.rentthechicken.com gets you

    I applaud entrepreneurship. I think the avg chicken owner doesn't want to spend $400+ for a season so I think this price point is ok. I think it would be tough to make a cheap chicken coop, and supply 100lbs of feed, 2 laying chickens and make a profit. Having said that, this forum is about...

    Feedback re Automatic door

    I bought one of those automatic doors that run on a timer. Mine is a Pull-It door. i sometimes work irregular hours and I like the idea of the ducks being let out and back in without my assistance. This is a good theory but my ducks haven't learned to use the door on a regular basis...

    Do your ducks eat pulled weeds?

    I envisioned when I bought these ducks that I could toss weeds from my gardening to the ducks and they would scarf them down similiar to my sister's chickens. That has turned out to not be the case. I have 2 KCs (had 3 until two nights ago) and they are picky eaters. They eat my feed and...

    7 weeks old questions

    I have 3 Khaki Campbells that are 7 weeks old. I'm getting one welsh harlequin next week who will be a few days old. Actually, I'm getting 5 WH but I'm going to raise them in my garage together before my gf takes 4 of them. Questions: I put my ducks outside at 4 weeks old and they did fine...

    Ducks, bedding and water

    Hi there, I have 2 khaki campbells in a small crate. The ducks are about 2 weeks old. The crate is 2x3 ft and 2 ft high. When I got the ducks, I put a small dish with water in and they sat in it, splashed it out, and drank some of it. So I replaced the dish with a gravity fed waterer...
