Frisky ducks

Re: Advice re pecking

Ok. I do have a friend for her, Nanette, another Polish crested who doesn’t get picked on. They could be roomies in a separate pen, but I would need to build it.

The mean girls have pecked her nearly bald and today there was even a little blood. She stands her ground. Tonight i watched Mi...

Re: New Year's resolutions

I don’t usually make New Year resolutions, but I have one for this year.

Re: Good Morning!

Does anyone have a photo or video of a rooster puffing out neck feathers ready to attack? I never knew they did this! like some kind of lizard! It looks so weird! I am trying to explain this to someone, but a picture would be better.
