Hello
I am trying to sell all my Mallard ducks. I am selling them as pairs or singles. These ducks are great flyers and need a coop with a roof and a safe place from predators. Some of the ducks are a bit skittish but will easily adjust to their new home. They will appreciate a tub or small...

Just last week, I went up to Vermont to meet family, I was only gone for two days. I made sure to provide all my poultry and waterfowl with enough food and water to last them up to a week. When I got back I was horrified to find seven of my bantam chickens dead!!! It was a bloodbath!!! It didn't...
