I love this forum :>) I just built a feeder out of a 5 gal. paint bucket. Drilled 11 one inch holes around the bottom side of the bucket... To make sure the feed all comes out as it is eaten, I built a cone out of a piece of tin that fits in the bottom. I drew a circle on the tin using...

[/img] Here they are Buff babies

McMurrayHatchery.com 10 ducks is the minimum order. It worked for me :>)

My Buff female had 2 eggs, one hatched Friday, the other today ( Sunday ). they are in a pen with Mama, & Papa plus 4 other 4 to 5 week old Pekins. The Male chases the female around (for sex) the Mama chaces the Pekins, the little ones are getting stepped on and run over by everyone. Should I...

My Buff duck has been sitting on 2 eggs around 27 days + or - She was off for awhile about day 2 or 3. She was attacked by a dog... Luckily I was able to stop the attack but she ran off an hid the better part of that day. How long should I wait for them to hatch... If they don't hatch will she...

I built a turtle trap out of some fence that is for keeping rabbits out of your garden. found a grate out of a smoker about 15" x 15" to use as a door then made the trap to fit the door. Built a small bait box out of 1/4" hardware cloth and put it on a welding rod so it could be suspended at the...

I have had the same problem. I had a snapping turtle problem. One of the ducks was eaten by a huge snapper and after that the other 9 would not go near the pond. Other predators have gotten 7 others. I am down to 2 ducks. I trapped and shot 8 snapping turtles. think I have them all but...

If you are not into the hunting thing.... and want something inexpensive..... look at an SKS 7.62 with hollow points. It is Chinese military gun semi auto. You can usually find them at pawn shops or gun shops. If you want to dress it up a little you can get a SYNTHETIC MONTE CARLO RIFLESTOCK...

These are some photos of the first snapping turtle I caught. UGLY !!!! But tastes pretty good.

I'm up to 5 snapping Turtles eliminated... Ducks are still afraid to even drink water from the pond... I caught them on hooks, in a trap and shot the last one with my .22 I added a scope to my Ruger 10/22 makes it a lot easier to aim and shoot. I did lose 4 other ducks to I don't know what...
