    Rehoming ducks?

    Anyone have any luck rehoming their ducks into responsible homes? My husband just found out last week that he got a job he wanted and have just under 2 weeks (moving March 5!) now to get all of our crap together and move about 7 hours away.

    Moving ducks outside...and lots of other questions

    Hello everybody! I have two, month old Pekins that I'm moving outside today. I'm looking for suggestions as I really don't want raccoons munching on my little quackers. What I have planned for them is this: a 10 x 10 dog kennel with hardware cloth buried along all the edges as deep as I can and...

    Ducks!!!

    I reluctantly got involved in poultry when my husband kept suggesting that we get baby ducks because they 'make me happy.' So after much deliberation (do I really want more animals? It will just be more work...) we decided to go for it and have had two Peking ducklings living in my beach...
