    Selling your boys...

    I sell my drakes at the local pigeon show. I get $5 to $10. They can be a tough sell unless the people from the local asian resturant show up. They will sometimes buy whatever I got and run a special on peking duck.

    Will domestic ducks mate with wild ducks??

    Whenever any wild ducks land on my ponds my 3 drakes jump it. No matter the size or if its male or female. They dont care. They consider it the toll for using the pond.

    Cattail Killers Needed!

    In so-cal you don't know what winter is, so I think your plan is sound. Maybe feed them near or in the shelter for a while in the begining so they learn to use it and you'll be good to go. Really a lot of breeds would help your problem.

    Cattail Killers Needed!

    I have 4 buff orpingtons on a pond that is about an acre and was having a similar problem with cattails. They along with a resident muskrat that goes back and forth between my 2 ponds have obliterated the cattails. A shelter on a floating island is an excellent idea except during winter if it...

    Am I a Buff Orpington?

    I raise buff Orpintons and one of my drakes bill is blue, both of my hens bills are blue. I think your drake is more likely a campbell. I will post some pictures of my ducks later for you to use for comparison.

    How do you raise your duckies? Pets or wild'ish' birds?

    I have kept my 3 buff drakes and 1 hen on my 2 ponds for the last 3 years. I'd just catch them once the pond froze thick enough to walk on and shut them up until it thawed.
