What do you use to haul to shows?
So, the road trip went very well! I talked to by buddies son and he is going to paint it this weekend. I'm indeed going to get it painted white.. I'm also plastidipping the plastics to a dark gray color.. Along with any badging aside from the Ford emblems.. I plan on getting custom ones made...- JacksonC

What do you use to haul to shows?
I was going to originally go that route, but my Tribute doesn't have a tow package.. And I've already learned my lesson about towing with something that doesn't have a tow package, lol. I got quite a bit accomplished today with the van though.. I did fluids change on everything, new oil, gas...- JacksonC

What do you use to haul to shows?
Well, I just bought a van this morning, lol. It's an ugly looking thing, but it will do the job well. It's an ugly brown, boxy, did I mention ugly? Ford Aerostar. It's got the Ford 3.0 ohv engine which I'm very familiar with and it has AWD. I pulled the 2 rows of seats out and put them in the...- JacksonC

What do you use to haul to shows?
I'm just starting to get into showing my chickens and geese.. Just not sure how to haul them to shows. I currently have a Mazda Tribute, which is fine for taking some chickens but I know it won't be anywhere near big enough for 3-4 geese, a dozen chickens, and perhaps a handful of ducks to all...- JacksonC

How big of a swim area?
I'm sure my wife does, I'll ask her when she gets home from work in the morning. -
How big of a swim area?
I used to have a buried pond for my ducks but found that draining the water out was troublesome once it got packed with mud, lol. I ended up finding a square plastic pond and built a deck around it for them to get in and out. I think it looks a lot nicer than a buried pond, but everyone will... -
Possums and ducks
I tend to worry about mine a lot, lol. I have quite a bit of money tied up in them as they're all show quality.. Just protecting my investment, as they say. :) I'd be devastated if I lost one because of something I thought about doing, and never did. They're my children. :o Haha -
Possums and ducks
Lots of predators in my area (Western NY). I don't keep a large flock.. Only about 10 ducks or so.. So I only have one pen to worry about.. But I'd suggest definitely making sure it's secure.. You can't ever make it too secure. I have solid 4x4s sunk into the ground right around mine. I had the... -
Rouen Duck thread
This is solid advice.. I noticed with my Rouens, they tend to be very touchy with new things.. I've been breeding and raising them for a couple decades now and they all (for the most part) seem to have that kind of personality trait.. And I've had many from different bloodlines. Every time I... -
Possible frostbite on Runner foot?
Yes, it looks like frostbite. Vaseline is definitely a good idea. I'd suggest that and antibiotics so that it doesn't get infected. My neighbor had one of her little call ducks break out of the pen on her one night when it was very cold out.. The poor thing ended up losing the tip of her toe... -
Where to buy SQ BEIs?
Hi y'all! This is my first post here but I do creep around here from time to time.. I was wondering if there were any well known places to get show quality BEIs from? I'm normally not a small duck person and I own primarily Rouens, Muscovys, and Cayugas.. But I saw these little guys at a show...
