    Possibly my last post ever on this site (sad news)

    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...

    Love my ducks but... chickens have their finer points...

    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...

    Our night time duck enclosure is finally done!

    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...

    What kind of ducks are these? Or maybe they're geese?

    That makes me feel better to hear that. My ducks are so spoiled and rely on me so much that it really upsets me to think about dumped hungry ducks!

    What kind of ducks are these? Or maybe they're geese?

    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...

    Lest see your best stink eye!!!!

    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!

    FarmrGirl! I'm just down the road from you!

    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...

    FarmrGirl! I'm just down the road from you!

    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...

    Just got my first ducks

    I bought an all black duckling that I would've sworn was a black runner. Turned out to be a Rouen. He was black from head to toe as a duckling!
