    Can Bantam Ducks free range?

    We show cayugas. My daughter has been wanting east indies and now is asking that for a pair for christmas....

    ISO Quality Sebastopol Breeder near AR or Surrounding States for my daughter in 4h

    The price is not an issue and I wouldn't mind using a transport service to get birds from a quality breeder that is farther. I do want white. But obtaining the best quality I can get is my goal. I don't even know who to look into and start discussing with.

    Sebastopol geese - selecting breeding stock, color genetics, and color improvement

    I know this post is old and most of the sebastopol breeders have retired. I am looking for quality sebastopol geese. I actually prefer white but quality over color. I am having a hard time even figuring out who is a good sebastopol breeder. I am in Arkansas but I am willing to travel for the...

    ISO Quality Sebastopol Breeder near AR or Surrounding States for my daughter in 4h

    I am in search of a breeder with good quality white Sebastopol geese around AR or surrounding states. I wish I could go to Ohio Nationals but that is not happening this year. My daughter currently shows Cayuga Ducks. We will be at the HOTOPA show this year.

    What to put at the Bottom of Duck run?

    Update*** A little update about my post. I now use wood chips instead of straw for the dry half of the coop. The straw would not work for garden use as it would grow what the straw was from. The wet side I first had pebbles and concrete pavers for steps to the bathtub. The ducks kept getting...

    What Knife do younuse to slaughter the birds?

    Our first batch of meat chickens, we did a nose and yanked the head off and the broomstick method. However we are about to butcher our first ducks soon. We prefered using a noose over the broomstick but we are concerned doing that method with ducks. We want to try slitting the throat with a good...

    How old can duck eggs be before incubation?

    I did not anticipate having a low hatch rate. I'm using two hovabator gensis. One for incubation and one for hatching. I also have a thermometer in each so I know the temp and humidity. I don't think it was the incubator, I think it was the eggs themselves. Hatch #1 4/6 ducklings out of 6...

    Ointement for duckling eyes?

    Yea I don't think it will make it. It's eyes are basically shut and it cannot open them when dry.

    Ointement for duckling eyes?

    Is there any ointment I can add to possibly help this duckling I hatched eyes? It can't see or is not responding like it can see. This is after I flushed it with water.
