I'm so sorry! I just lost a duck to a middle of the day hawk attack. No matter what we do, there are predators out there. My sister in law lost plenty of ducks that were locked up due to persist raccoons. All we can do is love them and give them the best home we can. You gave them a wonderful...
My sister in law got ducks right after I did. I've had ducks and chickens the whole time. She wasn't crazy about the chickens. Kept telling her how awesome they are. Then this Summer, her daughter wanted chicks. So she got a 1/2 dozen. She loves them! Enjoys them way more than her ducks. Me, I...
The inside of the house has a linoleum floor. I'd say it's pretty easy to clean out. It doesn't get too messy with just two ducks.
@Gofasterstripe, yeah, I've been telling the hubby that. Only predator we've ever seen are here are possums, but that doesn't mean a coon won't happen upon the...
Beautiful ducks. Based on the breeds and the way you describe them acting, it sounds like they were pets that were dumped and hungry.
Every time I go to my orthodontist's office by this manmade lake, there are loads of call ducks, pekins, geese, and mallards. I take a big bag full of my duck...
Thanks everyone! Poor LuLu can't help but give the stink eye thanks to those feathers. I think she recognizes everyone by their feet. And she's not fond of red sneakers!
Actually I'm in Waldorf, near Cedarville State Park. We'd love to move closer to La Plata or farther south eventually and have a bit more land. I'd love to have more chickens and ducks. Now that I've had fresh eggs from my adoring chickens, I can't imagine not having backyard poultry. The ducks...
I've looked at your website before when looking for local ducks. Funny thing is, I remember looking at your house on homesdatabase when it was up for sale a few years ago. Such a cute house and a great location! (I swear I'm not a weird stalker, it's just not often you see red houses around...
Her name is Beatrix. And actually, she's really pure white. Not sure why she looks a little creamy in that picture. May have been the light. I just love her!
I needed a female runner and really wanted a white one, but didn't want to buy 10 + straight run from Holderreads. Nicky (gofasterstripe) had some white runners, but she lives 9 1/2 hours away from me. Crazy hubby wanted a white runner so badly, he said, Let's go! So we took a road trip to get a...
I ordered two Runners, a Chocolate and a Blue, from Metzer's last year. They arrived oh so healthy and happy. I was very pleased. My sister in law has also ordered from Metzers, two Welsh Harlequin females. They were very healthy too.
that might have adult female runners for sale? I tried the bachelor pad thing with the 3 males I ended up with and it is not working at all. So my Ancona and Rouen are joining a lovely local farm full of females with a nice pond and we are keeping my Blue Runner and looking for a mate for him...
