I had to cull one of our Drakes because we had way too many. The drake in question was very mean and rough with all the other ducks and chickens. I tried to sell him but nobody wanted him so I had to cull him. My brother is very upset about this. He's been crying and I feel awful. I did tell him...

Hello, I have five male and two female call ducks and they are my babies!! However, my two females, mainly the youngest one (6mnths old) are 'calling' nearly all of the time, every 20/30 mins or so. At first I thought it was hilarious and cute (and I still do) but now I'm worried neighbours...

Hello everyone, This is ElGalloMoron from Bristol, UK, but original from the south of Spain. I'm quite new in keeping chickens and I am enjoying the experience immensely. More than one year ago, I bought a second hand coop on eBay (one of those arks from Forsham that now belong to Omlet), I...
