Should I add another pair?
Hi y’all. I have a set of 2 khaki Campbell drakes, who have been raised together since they were ducklings. I have no interest in females, as they are just pets and I have no desire for eggs. However, I’ve been wanting to get another pair of drakes, but I’m not sure if they’ll ruin what my two...- Mochitheduck

Bachelor Pad for Roosters?
Right now we have a total of 5 roosters and 17 hens. We had 8 roosters but luckily were able to rehome them. We haven’t had as much luck with the rest. My question is, can you show me your rooster coops? How do you manage them? Are they separated from hens at all times? Free-range together...- QueenC3

Ms Biddy's Upcycled Swingset Coop
Years ago, I helped my uncle put together a wooden swingset for my aunt. It was a place to sit together, relax and laugh. We enjoyed it for over a decade until time and the elements took their toll and the thinner boards on the seats began to rot and crack. My aunt and uncle aren't with us...- Ms Biddy
