    Ducks, again!

    Thank you all! I am planning that the two drakes are probably going to be gone before Thanksgiving and Christmas, which will solve the ratio problem. I have been reading up on how to properly slaughter them. Next spring I plan to get a few more ducks, but I have to do some digging in the area of...

    Ducks, again!

    I have an automatic duck door and my first two ducks got eaten when they were caught outside when it closed. I went out to let them in only a couple hours after sundown but it was too late. I might just readjust it to close a little later but for now it's just off. Anyway, I got four new...

    Campbell/Swedish cross sexing

    Ducks!

    I have been lurking here for a while, planning to get ducks. I was talking to a neighbor about it, trying to plan my coop and run, and he offered to let us have some from his first hatch. He's never hatched them before, they always just eat the eggs, but they lost most of their ducks to a...
