    HELP I have a serious Red Fire Ant Problem

    I cross-posted this to the emergency thread and someone suggested a poultry safe permethrin spray... I hate to use chemicals around them but at this point, I am afraid I don't have many options. It was absolutely terrible seeing that baby being devoured. I immediately removed my remaining keets...

    Banties with LF?

    I hadn't thought of that. Would the act still be successful with a saddle? They would make some beautiful babies together.

    Pekin Duck Club!

    Females are the only ones who truly have a definite quack. Drakes sound like a very raspy whisper by comparrisson. Also when the ducklings get all of their big bird feathers. The drakes will always have a curled tail feather.

    Muddy Ducks

    They don't "whistle" perse but they do what's called trilling when they are very content. Mine are 12+ weeks old so they are very loud quackers now.
