    DrySTART (drying powder)

    Has anyone heard of this or used it in their coops? I have ducks but the area I'm in (Canadian) I can't find something like Sweet PDZ anywhere (There are only a few options that I know of). DrySTART was the only thing I could find and they only had 2 bags left. It says safe for use with...

    Duck Breeders in Canada (Ontario)?

    I'm looking to get maybe 1 Cayuga drake, 3 Cayuga ducks (mainly as pets/egg layers) but I'm having a hard time finding any around me. Where do the Canadians typically get their ducks? I live on a border town so I could get from Metzer and drive across the border to pick them up saving on...

    Need advice

    I have never owned chicken or ducks but I plan to get 2 or 3 ducks this spring. I was looking at building an enclosure as similar to this one as I could: but I guess I am concerned about predators. I have read in other threads on this board how chicken wire doesn't protect the animals...
