This is actually a really good deal here.
Hi,
I sold off my duck operation in SoCal last April and moved to NC. This time I own the place, 5 acres about 10 miles south of Morganton. I try not to think about my last 6 months in CA on the farm because it got so ugly I want to get violent about it.
Anyhow, I need to ask what may be...
Hi, have been off of this site for awhile. I have shut down my duck farm in San Diego and will be relocating to Morganton NC in 7 weeks and plan to start over with the ducks. I got acreage near Enola. Can I get any updated info on organic/non GMO/no soy/no corn feed. Thank you.
OK, so I have been feeding my ducks a combination of alfalfa and durham wheat seeds for the last 2 years. My feed supply place has changed front office staff to a crew that I cannot stand dealing with and there is no other place nearby. I have a place that is 50 miles more away that will...
Hi, next month I want to do a major overhaul of my duck pond, it is a hand dug pond that has been expanded over the last 4 years and can hold about 4000 gallons. I have about 150 ducks and it gets fowled frequently. First what should I line it with? Second, and I need your feedback here. I...
So, I had been raising Muscovy successfully for 2 years and wanted larger commercial production. Hrnce, on April 2 I received my first batch of layer 300's, 135 female and 135 male. Did not really want the males so much, but the boss felt, and correctly so that they would have commercial value...

Hi,
Have not been here on the board for awhile, but the bug reason is that on April 2 I received form Metzer 270 of these guys and have been raising them. Was much more labor intensive than expected. I opted to get 130 female and 130 male (that were free). My boss thinks there is a market...
14 Tuesday, 16 yesterday, 15 so far today (10;15A), I have some late layers here. Everyone has heard about the California droughts, we are just starting a winter storm that is supposed to drop 7" of rain over the next 60 hours.
I am a ranch hand on a 12 acre pastured poultry farm, my ducks are out in the open in a acre and a half pen that I put up a 8 foot high perimeter fence, I dug them a decent sized pond within the enclosure. Currently they lay most of the eggs around the support piers under the brooder building I...
Hi,
Posting for the first time here. I have 115 Muscovy Ducks, don't have a good count of the sex breakdown. I am in the high mountain desert (4000 feet above sea level) 1 hour east of San Diego, I had 14 eggs today. That ties the record from last year when I only had 35 ducks. I have 260...
Hi,
I raise ducks for eggs in far east county San Diego. I currently have about 115 Muscovy adults, and today ordered 260 Metzer Farms Golden Layer 300's. The eggs I priduce have been hugely popular in SoCal and I hope to learn better management practices here as time goes by. My avatar...
