    Duck Houses

    I have a pond that is about a 1/2 acre next to my house and would love to get some ducks for the pond but don't want anything to happen to them.

    I sometimes have wild mallars land in the pond and when I,m out walking they get spooked and fly away. I just hope if I get some that are pets that they don't take off with the wild ones.

    M I Crooked Letter Crooked Letter...ahh, nevermind....Mississippi

    Thanks Daniel, Have you ever seen the chickens scratch up a fire ant nest/mound when they free range? I have been looking in the forum for info on fire ants but did not come across any info. We have been at war with those ants for years and I guess if I free range the chickens I won't be able...
