That is great!!
I just had a broody hatch 3 silkies, and 2 easter eggers yesterday. She still has 7 eggs under her, so I'm hoping they're just late hatchers, but maybe not! Hatching eggs is so much fun!
Welcome back! I just started to get eggs from the silkies I got in the spring! I think only 1 out of the 3 are laying so far... exciting to get eggs from the newbies, though!!
We're down in Richmond. We were thinking of putting in one of those landscape ponds (I see them for sale on craigslist all the time). We would only want a few ducks... as we already have 22 chickens that roam the yard! Haha Thanks for the info. If I have anymore questions, I know who to ask! Haha
Hello there! Glad you found us! :)
Do you have a pond/pool/body of water for your ducks?
My husband really wants some, but we didn't know what they required. I'm sure it may depend on the breed as well? I know nothing about ducks!! Lol

You SHOULD start a petition!! That is CRAZY!! I mean, as long as you're not turning a small backyard into a ridiculous hatchery/egg producing factory, I think you should be allowed as many as you want!! I can't believe they make you pay a yearly fee! The only fee for animals we have to pay...
Nope! Roos are not illegal in Rhode Island, but they are illegal in certain cities/towns. Also, depending on the town, you need a certain amount of acreage, and they need to be so far from your neighbor's houses to keep them. I made sure I did my research before adopting!
Edit: Just...
