    Ducks

    We have ducks that I purchased that live in a pen and run and get locked up at night. We also have a solitary duck that belonged to old neighbors who is determined to free-range because he was never penned up. He was not solitary until today. I went out this morning and his buddy was killed...

    Help, please

    I have ducks that are bound and determined to free range - with 3 acres and a pond, rounding them up at night is impossible. They do well and go to the middle of the pond if any critters show up. I gather the eggs that are dropped wherever they feel like it, but if they have made a spot that is...

    We adopted 3 magpie ducklings yesterday (1 month old). They are living in the large pen now, as they are too small to go hang out with the big kids (6 adult ducks) and go to the pond. We *think* the one with the most yellow (now turning white) is male, and the others female, based on their...

    Whatcha Making for Supper?

    Little Caesar's pizza. Daughter is at work, son will be at theater rehearsal (shows start this weekend), husband has an Experimental Aircraft Association meeting, so I'll be home with no car. Picked up my pizza a bit ago.

    New ducks

    Our neighbors are moving out of state, and we are adopting their adult ducks. They already spend half the day lounging in our yard and chase us in the yard for birdseed or blueberries if I'm outside, so we are already associated with food. I'm hoping for an easy-ish transition since they know...

    I was thinking ducklings, just because we can get them used to us from the very beginning, but I'm not opposed to adults. I'm researching breeds now. I know I'm wanting some for egg production. Our neighbors have Indian Runners, which are cute, but they just drop an egg wherever they happen to...

    I'm working on getting space ready for some ducks - will get ducks after the space is ready for them. So...where should I look to purchase some ducks when our space is ready?
