Quote: This is how my birds are. I am very hands on and lead them all into the coop at night, make sure they all get their drinkies at night, make sure they are all snuggled on the roost bar before the lights go out....LOL I don't think my birds could survive what most normal chickens flocks do. I think I have have ruined my birds.
But glad yours are learning!!

Love the name Aflac!! LOL Always wanted a duck named Aflac. LOL I have no suggestions for you since I don't keep ducks. You might ask the duck experts in our duck section about this....HELP: We're at a crossroads at the moment...
Aflac, our token Pekin duck, appears to be a drake. He currently has one curled tail feather & has been trying to mount his favorite of the Three Musketeers (White Crested) for a couple of days now (with her permission, of course). Now we must make a decision...
(1) Keep Aflac, and try to hatch & sell the babies.
(2) Cull Aflac, and have my first duck dinner.
(3) Sell Aflac, and try to maintain an all female flock.
Any suggestions?

Thank you for all your help/suggestions. I am hopeful we have found a buyer for most, if not all, of our ducks. Selling to someone through BYC just feels good...ya'll LOVE your birds! Our daughter is a little bummed to get rid of the ducks, but she favors the chickens more anyway & is quite excited to get new chicks after the ducks are gone. I'm glad we decided to do this so soon after getting our flock (only had them all two weeks now)...but how would we have known we were more chicken people than duck people without giving it a try first? Looking forward to a quieter & cleaner run after the ducks go to their new home.
