Deadwall for Shooting Range
Make sure to get relatively clean fill for a berm. Rocks are no bueno and can cause unpredictable ricochets.- Toad9000

If you genuinely think we're sliding into societal collapse, why on Earth would you want to avoid buying a gun?- Toad9000

A solution to gang raping drakes?
Chastity cage for a duck? I only have 2 drakes -
Duck ripped out nail?
One of my ducks ripped out that same nail on both feet. A couple days of dabbing with Neosporin and she was all better. The nails are back now -
Ducks that don't Die Horribly?

Ducks that don't Die Horribly?
I love coming on here to read up on all the phenomenal information people share. But sometimes its a little depressing just how many posts are about ducks being torn to shreds by predators or wasting away from mystery disease. Just thought it would be nice to hear some stories from people who's... -
A solution to gang raping drakes?
I might pay 50$ or so per season. But that's just 'cause my drake happens to be my favorite duck. -
Ground Cover that can Survive Ducks?
Awesome, thank you! We've fed them some that grew in our garden as weeds, so I hadn't even considered it. But it definitely wasn't their favorite, so hopefully this is the ticket. -
Ground Cover that can Survive Ducks?
Is there any kind of ground cover I could plant that my ducks won't destroy? I have 5 Khakis that inhabit a 12'x28' netted run most of the time. There was a lot of nice clover in there initially, some young strawberry plants, some mullein, and a thimbleberry bush. The only thing left is the... -
The Gun Thread
The reason bullet makers don't make more bullets designed with subsonic performance in mind is because shooting subsonic rifles is an incredibly niche market. Its becoming more and more popular, but its still largely a very small group of people shooting suppressed subsonic rifles, and an even... -
The Gun Thread
Excellent! Nice shooting! Hunting fox squirrels is one of the things I miss most about Ohio. Pain in the butt to skin, but a lot more meat for the trouble compared to a red squirrel. But the trade off is now getting to hunt grouse so it works out in the end. It looks like your aim is good enough... -
Loose skin/pudge between ducks legs?
All 3 of my Khaki hens have this. Haven't seen any issues yet. -
Not Laying Ducks Eating Oyster Shell?
No artificial light, I don't want to stress them out -
Not Laying Ducks Eating Oyster Shell?
10 hours right now, daily highs in the 40's with night into the low teens. -
Not Laying Ducks Eating Oyster Shell?
My Khakis (3 hen, 2 drake, all 6 months old) have had free access to oyster shell for a couple months now but hadn't been touching it. Within the past week or so, I have started finding some at the bottom of their water bucket every day, so I can only assume they're eating it. They still haven't... -
Duck postmortem, filled with grit? GRAPHIC PHOTOS
I'm no bird anatomy expert, but in my experience hunting and cleaning wild mallards, turkey, and grouse, this is just how every gizzard I've seen is. Stuffed full to the top with rocks. I only ever find recognizable food matter in the crop, not the gizzard (and I'm not in the habit of checking... -
Should I Expect Eggs in First Year?
Hi All, Our Khaki Campbells (3 hens, 2 drakes) turned 23 weeks old this week. So according to most online sources they should start laying anytime. However, as far North as we are, we're already down to only 11 hours of sunlight a day this year. Should I expect to get any eggs this year or am I... -
Hazelnut lingerie: Is it effective?
I've never tried this with gardening, but I know a lot of hunters/backpackers that have had squirrels eat through the bags they hung food in to keep away bears! So I don't have high hopes for this, but still who knows? -
Feeding Ducks Fish Guts
Hi everyone! Yesterday we had a great day of snagging Kokanee salmon (legal in my area) and brought home 29 of the things. When cleaning them, we snipped off the pectal and pelvic fins to save for the dog because she loves fish fins, so we figured while we were at it we might as well save the... -
These ducks…
Khaki Campbells are known to be skittish, but by hand feeding mine and picking up/handling them multiple times a day, they now handle being held just fine at 5 months old. But they still don't like the process of being picked up! You have to chase them around and corner them to get them in your...
