My bad, I live in Holden Massachusetts, and willing to drive anywhere in mass and most of New England

My swedes are not noisy they are very quiet, I did have mallards, and they were very noisy and would chant like a cult. my pekin is just as noisy as my swedes, they do chatter, but it is not loud, and only really quack when they are very excited. had a lot of health problems with my pekin...

Looking to start growing fodder for my ducks and wonder where to start and what type is best for ducks. Reason for wanting to grow fodder- long story short, had free ranging ducks on 4 acres, but now have a fischer cat and fox problem, have a pen, but for using a lot of water last year for the...

CENTRAL MASSACHUSETTS AREA Peacock- Spalding, about 2 years old, have to find a home due to that he needs company/buddies, preferably turkeys or other peafowl, when he doesn't have buddies to hang around, he annoys everyone on my street. I did have a 'sturdy' pen for him, but got destroyed in...

If you're still selling, what are the genders of the swedes?

do you know i they can be used on ducks?, i have 2 female mallards (2-3lbs) that are missing feathers on their back because of 2 aggressive males, I am going to find new homes for the males, but until then, i don't want it to get worse

I have 2 black swede males that need a home fast! I have an poor ratio of females to males, and it is starting to show with missing feathers on the back of the necks on some of my females. I ask $10 of each, and I can drive half way to a meet up place if you like, but only in NEW ENGLAND STATES...

It is nothing too serious, and like I said I believe it is challenging territory/protecting, and he is fine most of the time. The problem usually arises when I interact with my ducks. If I pick them up or go to one, he will try to chase me or eye me up and have a stand off. Another instance is...

here it is: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/962683/lone-peacock-problems#post_14992096 He is my first peacock, originally wanted indian blues, and a peachick order was mixed up, i guess, and now i am stuck with him. he does show signs of aggression, but i think he is trying to challenge for...

I have a spalding male, at least 50% green, and he will be a year in May 2015. He is already starting to be vocal and tonight he has been perched up in a tree making calls similar to mating calls. He does occasionally squawk at me in the morning to feed him, but lately if he chooses to stay out...

That is why I think he will do okay with chickens, he does interact with the ducks, but when the ducks forage in water or play in it the peacock will go off looking in my house or my neighbors houses with his little cry. And it has gotten to the point, where I do pick up my ducks he gets...

I know, when I got him I was told it was an Indian blue, which was initially what I wanted for their hardibess and that they were more docile, but as he grew older, I found out he was a spalding. This winter was really rough for him and my ducks, but he made it through. The worst part was when...

Here he is about a month ago, this picture was taken after he had a hissy fit about me bringing the duck out, as you can see he got over it quick. He does hang around the ducks all day and tries to interact with him, but the ducks pecking order is very lax and my pea seems to prefer a more...

My peacock will be a year old in June. I have been looking at the buy, sell, trade in this byc site, and so far the peahens are a lot older than my peacock and most people don't want to ship only hens, which I don't need more peacocks, getting a peahen or two about a year is ideal. If I need...

So I have a spalding about a year now, at least 50% green. He did have a mate, a purple peahen that got taken by a fox last fall. Since then he hangs out with my ducks, which want nothing to do with him and he just seems lost, now he is starting to size up people and even cars and trying to pick...

They did arrive yesterday afternoon, they were all well and healthy, I did ask the person who recieve the ducks to take pictures, but they weren't able since they were attacking them once the box opened. I assumed the ducks really needed to stretch. They found 2 eggs my hens laid, and she took...

I was in hysterics yesterday, calling the post office that was suppose to recieve them, and all I got was extremly poor customer service, the person didn't even listen to me and only redirected me to a disconnected number and when I called them back I could hear them pick up the phone and they...
