First, I have raised 100 chickens and never had problems like I have had with my ducks. I realize they are not necessarily the same and am searching for help.
We bought 25 Khaki Campbell duckling about 4.5 months ago. I think I bought from a horrible hatchery because one arrived dead, one had...
I am getting a pair of adult Muskovys and am wondering do I need to contain them awhile until they understand this is home? We have a large property and will free range them for bug control. Any other advice? Thanks!
