BackYard Chickens - Learn How to Raise Chickens

Thanks! It’s of my first ducks when they were 1 week old.

Are they house ducks?

Nope, I was very unprepared for any type of fowl, so they got to live inside/in the garage for the first like 4 months of their lives. I got them because a few months before I rescued a duckling and me not having much knowledge about them put it outside in a small run I made with my dad and when I went inside a hawk grabbed it...

Oh no! I’m sorry about your little duckling. I would love to have indoor ducks, but it was hard enough to convince my parents to let me have outdoor ducks!!

Yeah, I don’t think they’d have been allowed if it weren’t for the fact that they are super cute and lay eggs. My parents aren’t into anything that doesn’t earn its keep.

Isn’t that funny? Neither do mine.

All I want is alpacas but they say how do you make money off alpacas? And im like THEYRE PETS!

Actually, you can make a decent amount of money off of the alpaca wool. Or if you know how to make soap, rap the alpaca wool around the soap. Sells great. A very long time ago my mom was thinking of getting alpacas for that exact reason.

Ooh thanks! I will have to mention this. I think Alpacas are adorable.

Hehee, no problem!
You should research a bunch of easy ways to make money off of them and present it to your parents. You could breed and sell babies. I think just about any animal is cute... lol

That’s a great idea! I would love to start something like that.
