Ducks grow so fast

Lots of different quail. All coturnix but different patterns.

>>19413735
i don't have pictures, but i have maybe 10 hens. they poop out more eggs than i can eat, so i end up giving away dozens of eggs

>>19413735
god I was that was me. the duck I mean when it’s gonna be 90 degrees here tomorrow

>>19413744
Where did you get those feeders/waterers? Perfect design for waterfowl!

>>19413838
They are designed for just that. Check your local Tractor Supply

>>19413735
you're not allowed to do that

>>19413896
Don't be silly, anon

>>19413739
cute puppy

>>19413735
Right after I purchased said duggs

>>19414019
super kyoot i love duggs

Come on, birdfags. I know you're out here. Post the chiggs

>>19413735
I want a pet mallard. Not for the eggs, not even for the sex, I just think they're beautiful duckies and true bros and I need both in my life rn :[

>>19413915
what did you do to that dogs asshole you disgusting pervert

>>19414876
rentoid ere, I envy you all housechads *cries*

>>19414894
She's old. She's walking around looking for the proper shit spot in that pic. Kind of has a baboon thing going on. I've never harmed a pet, certainly not that way, projecting weirdo.

>>19414903
Allow me to suggest coturnix quail to you, anon. The quail roosters don't crow, they just do a mild trill. The hens lay nearly one egg every day. A small rabbit hutch will house more than enough for you. You can definitely have them in an apartment. Just like someone would have a parrot etc. Fun fact about quail, they don't carry salmonella. Not in the meat or the eggs. Additionally, the jew landlord FEARS the indoor quail farmer. Grow herbs in your windows for further flexing on your LL/neighbors

>>19414925
That would be so great but I live in a small studio of around 250 sq feet and the landlord would definitely kick me out if he found out I own quails. The lease explicitly says no pets or animals.

you guys are eating this right?

>>19414971
Register them as service animals. LL btfo

>>19414973
No, I can never bring myself to kill/eat them. Eggs though. I'm the only anon who has posted their own birds so far. /ck/ doing me quite the disappoint

>>19414981
There was a faggot who kept spamming his backyard ducks on here a while back, including his bloody murder cone pics. Fuck that weirdo.

>>19415005
>murder cone
without posting a picture could you please tell me wtf that is? is that where you put their heads through a funnel so you can slit their necks? :[

>>19415018
yes

>>19415018
Gotta kill em some way, murder cones are easy and fun

>>19415029
well yeah of course. also fun? that's not necessary but whatever I'll just stay in my own lane on this one

>>19414883
Same here I want pet ducks, in small man made pond

>>19415879
Ducks are the neat ones for sure. Here's the rooster I posted earlier. When it was just a chick.

I have five of these bantam dinosaurs running around right now.
Soon I'll be swimming in tiny, delicious eggs.

>>19414894
You dog has a compacted anal gland that needs to be purged (gross).

>>19416013
She doesn't, at all. She was about to shit, Doolittle

>>19415940
They are very soft birds. I have one she lays brown eggs

>>19416025
send me another picture close up so I can have a better look

Hatched 7 chicks in April. I'll get the cocks slaughtered along with my old hens. It's pretty fun to do, but they're all different breeds so the slaughtering time won't be "ideal". I also want to wait and see which are hens so I can keep them for egg laying.

>>19414925
How do the eggs taste? Do you sell the eggs?

>>19413735
I could never do this. I'm all for eating meat and all, and I have absolutely nothing against people who raise animals for slaughter, but I'm too soft and emotional, so I would end up just keeping animal I rear as pets.

>>19414876
What are the tiny, unspotted eggs? I used to have a source for peewee chicken eggs but not anymore and I miss them.

>>19416159
The nice thing about hens is that you don't have to kill them to get protein out of them in egg form.

>>19416123
hahaha look at his afro

>>19413739
nice cock

>>19416129
Delicious. No, I give away the eggs I don't use

>>19416159
They are all pets

i love ducks so fucking much they make me cry, i want to own a few and be best friends with them and i dont want to eat them but theyre so delicious theyre my favourite meat id just be sitting there eating my friends and crying

LITRERASLLY the homer simpon scene where hes eating his lobster and crying thats absolutely me and ducks i just love ducks im so sad

>>19413735
yeah dude im so fucked.. got chickens first, then ducks and then geese (ducks and geese raise since 1 week).
for some reason female goose (two females no male) began nesting in may and not leaving nest
that was then copied by one of my female ducks (i have 5 females 1 male) and now the ducks are sitting on 40+ fertile eggs of various stages.
the geese are sitting on them too to help, so i have so many duckings on the way and idk the first thing about them,.
also because fertilized and laid over period of several weeks, theyll be popping out over couple weeks..
i think i get 3 more weeks to go by, see how many are hatched then just throw the rest out..
they dont let me in there to take any of the eggs.. even if just laid, and are taking all the eggs from the 2 females that dont care and that my drake is walking around and fucking silly while these three sit on the nest...
i got two out from them today that were clearly just laid, but the others were well along way of being fertile..
they only leave coop every 2-3 days for 20 minutes so have to be quick if i see them out.. geese havent left in weeks..
i dont think the nesting ones are laying any more eggs... so im down to 2 laying ducks that are bering fertilized and taking under by 2 geese and 3 nesting ducks..
ie i had to buy goyeggs for the first time in 2 years because my neighbours farm stand was away
what the fuck am i keeping these fuckers for if not their eggs..
same time, ill have maybe?? 30 duckings in a few weeks time.. which idk what to do with

>>19414883
guy by me is selling 2 month old mallards for $4/

>>19416466
to clarify, im like 3 weeks into the ducks nesting.. so believe duckings begin hatching in a week or so.. i got a hold of the nest today and there were 5-6 that were completely solid through (no light) so id image theyre close..

>>19416164
Bobwhite quail eggs

>>19416980
Nifty. Thanks.

>>19416469
dang I'm jelly

>>19413735
Surely we can post more birds than this

>>19415005
oh no not killing food no no no no no

>>19418443
I just can't bring myself to do it, brownie.
One day I will though. I know that for every one bird the supermarket kills for food, another 3-5 birds go to waste. By culling my own animals and not supporting the store/upping their inventory, I will save bird lives. Still can't do it though. Verification would never be required for such a post

>>19416478
You're lucky if you're getting birds naturally without the use of an incubator >>19416478

>>19418450
I appreciate your cowardice and honesty, try taking some testosterone it might speed you along your path

Imagine confusing empathy for low T. I don't have that problem. I just have a soft spot for things that can't help/speak up for themselves. But id push a button right now if it'd evaporate all the "humans" in China this very second. Without a thought.

>>19418547
>muh chinks
jews first
jew accessories second (this includes j*nnies)
then niggers
THEN chinks
and pajeets need to be culled by 90% (they make good kino)

>>19415018
>>19415005
I remember that dude.
>wtf is the murder cone
one of those bright red road cones that he put upside down nailed to a pole.
stuff the bird into the cone until their head sticks out and then whack.

>>19418553
Wrong wrong wrong.
There aren't that many jews. And they are powerless without the rest of the world.
We need the chinks gone. So we have to pit them against india (two birds, one stone). Then we tell the nogs the truth about the jews (again, two birds). No clue what to do with the Mexicans and white trash though. Suggestions?

Who jannied my comment? I swear to God if I'm banned again...

It's too hot for my duggs and chiggens today. They dgaf and are being lazy

>>19413735
Fuck niggers thread live on

i'd plow a goose so fucking hard it better break my ribs to get it off me

>>19421218
Well that doesn't make any sense

>>19416123
why do chickens like weeds so much

>>19422193
there could be anything in those weeds
even more weeds

>>19422193
My chickens just like the bugs that the weeds are hiding. And a few bites of the plant while they are at it, in case its delicious

>>19413735
No new bird pics for today but why not observe this kitten who was abandoned on my porch next to the bunny that was abandoned in an ACE hardware parking lot this past fall. They are both chilling in the spare bathroom, where as you all know is the best place to keep a new pet until they figure life out. Bunny has to stay in the bathroom because he doesn't have a healthy fear of the bigger animals.

Gonna need to bump this throd

One last bomp

>>19413735
Ducks are cunts.
Chickens are based.
Quail are cute.

>>19425796
What about geese?

>>19425901
Geese are fucking hellspawn bastards.

>>19425796
>Ducks are cunts
Mine are neat and just want food and water. They aren't mean.
>chickens are based
They are. My rooster wants to kill an entire human. He stays locked up. The others are fun to watch do their thing.
>quail are cute.
They definitely are. Mine act tough but you just pick them up and they immediately concede. One of them tries so hard to "attack" but it consists of a bite that wouldn't break skin on a baby

>>19418559
WTF did he literally impaled the ducks on the cones, then pull down the duck on the cone until the head falls off bc the cone becomes too large for the duck neck?! that's incredibly sadistic! what a sick sick bastard

Post more burds

Raising chickens has made me learn to hate foxes.

>>19418618
LETSS GOOO

>>19426426
Gotta protect that flock, homie

>>19426705
I used to raise chickens before my gay ass neighbor reported me to animal control. I never had problems with varmints since I had a trio of fighting roosters that fucked everything up. One day I went to feed the roost and they were pecking away at some dumb oppossum that was dumb enough to try and steal the hens eggs.

>>19425987

>>19425987

>>19426705
>raise chicken
>get fox pelt
Sounds good to me

>>19426718
Gay ass nibbers (that's what I call shitty neighbors) are the absolute worst. Man makes a home for himself and some petty jealous pedantic faggot has to do everything they can to make you as miserable as they are. I'm a direct descendent of Devil Anse Hatfield so I dare them to start a fucking feud. It's in my blood to cuck a neighbor

>>19426737
>nibbers (that's what I call shitty neighbors)
lol
I had a friend who called black people "neighbors." He was Cambodian and his family owned a convenience store.
He was shot and killed by a "neighbor" during a robbery.
RIP Willie.

>>19426780
Hope they caught them and Willie laughs every time they get raped in prison.

>>19426426
And coons and off-leash dogs and outdoor cats and eagles and skunks

>>19427195
Hawks are fearless cunts. Raccoons will kill chiggens for fun and for food, whatever is convenient for them at the moment. I've never had a dog in my yard besides my own, but I'm dreading the day. The feral cats pay the birds no mind. Skunks though? Damn. Didn't know they were assholes.

>>19427207
Neat hawk. Broadwing, iinm.
Although I don't see them, there are definitely some sort of hawks nesting in one of my trees. I've been hearing their tell-tale noises since the beginning of June so I guess they laid eggs a little early this year. Another week or two and we'll have baby hawks learning to outside my second floor bathroom.
Hopefully, once they fuck off for the winter, their empty nest will attract an owl. They're loud cunts, but I think they're neat.

>>19427272
Fuck owls that live next to your house. Mine has one and the motherfucker blasts hoos all night.

>>19427189
Yeah, they got caught REAL quick.
Black dude and a Vietnamese guy.
Teenagers, just newly 18. Of course, for pulling the trigger, the neighbor got the worse sentence, but both were convicted. One of the two was beaten to death in prison but I don't know which.

>>19413735
I wish I had the space. Grandma had chickens and I'd gladly have some, or some other kind of poultry

>>19427297
Yeah, I believe it but it can already be loud here at night with the fucking raccoons fighting or whatever so maybe an owl will fix that by eating the admittedly adorable fucks.
The other night, I couldn't sleep so I went into the kitchen to clean and tidy up some shit and was surprised to hear what I would describe as bird-like noises from up somewhere outside. Bats, I'm assuming, but I always thought their noises was too high frequency for human ears but I know there's a fairly large colony near my house (the classic bats in the bellfry; there's an old church that they live in nearby). What else could have made that noise at night?

>>19427315
See >>19414925

>>19427337
I'd feel bad about raising them in an apartment

>>19413915
>that prolapsed anus
Jesus anon what did you do to that dog?

I have no pictures, I slaughtered the flock a couple weeks ago and gave away the babies because I'm moving in a couple months.

these guys are better than any guard dog

>>19427478
Fuck geese, tho. Mean bastards. Also, why do people hate goose eggs? My mother had a friend who kept geese and occasionally gave us eggs. Other than being a pain in the dick to crack open, they taste nice. More "eggy" than chicken eggs, if that makes sense. Like duck eggs, but even eggier that that.
But you're right: waterfowl in general make for great alarms systems.

>>19427524
When you're a flappy meal on legs your mind must develop great courage to stand up to threats

>>19427533
Makes sense.

>>19427393
That's been addressed. She's very old and was about to shit. She shat within 60secs after that pic. Her butthole is fine. I'm glad the anus detectives are monitoring the thread though. I feel safe

>>19427550
>anus detectives
I think I saw that episode of Frasier. That's the one where Niles and Daphne finally went to 5th base, right?

>>19427386
They'd be in a cage either way. Remember: unlike chickens, quail can fly. To prevent them flying off, them must be caged. Even clipping is no guarantee because unlike many pet birds, quail don't have any homing because they're not migratory so even if they manage to imprint on you after clipping, there is no guarantee that once their flight feathers grow back they'll stay with you and, in fact, it's far more likely that they'll simply fuck off somewhere.

>>19427606
Correct. Quail prefer the safety of a cage. They'd love to be free but they are very easy targets. Their flying is limited, they definitely can't glide or soar. So you aren't caging a beast by any means. They like to be safe and eat food. That's their life.

>>19427575
Based Georgia Jumbo Coturnix Quail haver. I'm surprised we don't use the acceptable Japanese quail term. Same with Bobwhite quail. They are also known as Virginia quail, which sounds cooler

>>19427619
>they definitely can't glide
They can flutter and, at the very least, fly up into trees. Either way, they ain't stayin' where you want'em unless they're enclosed somewhere.

>>19427641
Oh I know, anon. I've kept them for years. I've seen what they can do. Coturnix are the worst flyers. Bobwhites can make some moves, though. Still all ground birds. Doves being the best flyers of them all. Grouse and turkey can do some things, too.

>there have been consistent threads every day asking people about their stored emergency food, gardens and livestock
Oh boy

>>19427682
This is my thread. Almost every bird here is mine. No one has mentioned emergency plans in this thread. I think you need to go back to your containment board, schizo. Nothing ever happens and don't you forget it. Everything will be fine.

>>19427675
>Doves
Those aren't quail, tho. Unless there's something like a dove-quail or something. Fucking love doves, btw, and they do have a homing instinct. Once they imprint on you or their coop, they can go off to do whatever and will come back to you.

>grouse
Never seen a live one, lol. Just one my uncle's friend shot. Or maybe that was a pheasant. Lemme look up how to say grouse.

>turkey
Never seen a wild one, live or otherwise but I've seen videos of those fuckers bolting into trees.

>>19427848
>those aren't quail tho
I changed the subject at
>ground birds

>>19413749
Have you had trouble with your quail dying on you? I'm really interested in getting started with them but I've heard they're more delicate than chickens

>>19416129
The eggs taste like chicken but have a slightly more rubbery texture to the white. I really like them. They're better than chicken eggs when softboiled in my opinion

>>19426426
I still like them, but they're basically just prettier weasels. Like how squirrels are prettier rats.

>>19428050
I've had one quail die from a lodged egg. The rest all survived bird flu. I had a rat break into the cage and several corn snakes. Other than that, very easy/healthy birds.

>>19418559
Lmao

>>19427310
Hope the beating was both painful and terrifying

>>19428105
I saw a fat-as-fuck squirrel climb out of a skip/dumpster yesterday with a piece of a hamburger bun. They are indeed rat-like.

>>19413735

>>19428950
Hate it

>>19413735
I've got about 13 hens and a rooster and 5 chicks being reared by two mama hens right now. Even with one gone broody and two hens raising we have wayyy too many eggs for me and my wife to eat. We have in the past culled a few roosters that got reared up by the hens but I tell you what, I don't like killing them. It makes me sad but that's how it goes on this bitch of an earth.

>>19426426
I have a very barky beagle who keeps things out of the yard we have our chickens in. Since we have adopted this system we have had no losses to predators, god bless us. I try to have a good bit of shrubbery and the like for them to hide from aerial predators. I think having a rooster helps too as he is always on the look for birds. He is kindof on a hair trigger in that he sounds an alarm over obviously nonthreatening birds (cat birds, bluejays) but even so we have been very fortunate indeed after losing several before we found a system that worked for us.

>>19413735

No, I've never been to that board and don't care. This is my home board and I don't really venture away from here much. This is my only social media and this thread is fine. Leave me alone and post birds.

Seeing ducks gives me dopamine, I love them

>>19426426
this is why you get more animals like larger goats(alpines) or alpacas to ward off foxes

>>19430028
A mama duck inexplicably decided to nest at my local Home Depot one year among the hay bales. I like ducks, too, but that hissy cunt made shopping for plants and fertiliser and soil and shit a pain in the dick for the duration of her stay.
No idea why the store didn't just get rid of her. Besides the fact that there are plenty of murdercones at Home Depot they could have used, they could simply move her and her nest away from the goddamn store.

>Adults can be feather sexed
HMMM INTERDASTING

>>19433746
Yea, they have different chests. Much more prominent in the common coturnix pattern. Impossible with some of the patterns though. Bobwhite quail, which is the 2nd most common quail for keeping, have completey different male and female looks, like a lot of other birds.

>>19433245
I knew girl back in the day, Martha (yes, really) who kept several uncommon pets, among which were a skunk, a nanny goat named Elliot, a llama (or alpaca? I forget which; I always called it the one and she always corrected me that it was the other), several song birds in an ENORMOUS enclosure built into a living room window frame with one-way glass on it (so the birds and family can see out, but passersby can't see in) and, after someone in the house got licensed for falconry, an owl of some sort. It spent a lot of time chained to a perch with a sandpit under it to catch its shit and the bonepellets it would spit out. Seemed fine, I guess, but it always made me a bit sad since owls are migratory. Would've been better were it a peregrine as many these days have stopped migrating, presumably due to year-round food sources in urban areas in he form of pigeons, sparrows and other birds.
But what do I know? The tiny owl seemed generally happy and unexpectedly welcomed petting, preening and even hugs and (ick) kisses from Martha. They'd put on the glove and let it out for a flight and hunt and it always came back so if that's not a sign of a happy little killer, idk what is.
If anyone wants to try to figure out what sort of owl it was, all I can say is that it was small, it was brown and the thing fucking meowed. idk wtf sort of owl does that but maybe someone here might.

>>19414883
>not even for the sex
Yeah but would you still fuck them mallards anyway if you had 1 tho?

>>19416111
>Just send me fap material for free bro
It's a blueboard

Building a nice large main coop for around 30 chickens but I was thinking of separating the run in 2 parts with a gate between and putting a smaller coop like one of those raised ones in one side. I'd put breeding chickens or chicks in the separate area until they are big enough to go in with the adults and I can just open the gate for extra run space. I only plan on burying some wire for run security, but the main coop has wire and concrete around. Would that plus the smaller coop be sufficient in keeping foxes out? I've had bits of other people's chickens and rabbits already left on my property last year so I have to be vigilant.

Also, I wanted to put a fan in for extra airflow since I live in FL. I was thinking of using a solar powered one, but I don't know if they work well. I have some thin ventilation openings on the bottom and top of the coop and am going to put in a few larger windows appropriately far away from the roosting areas. Anyone have experience with solar devices? Are the shit or reasonably reliable?
