110 gallon water trough $80 TSC and done! Use it as a pool when they grow up.

I bought these broiler pans for ducks water. You can re purpose them down the road. I found that having two was handy.

IMO and experience with three shipments, cooler weather is better. My last eight that shipped late October were practically carrying their own box! They have continued to be very rambunctious ducks! I was calling them 'The Hateful Eight' but the Bosslady didn't like that, so they are now the...

I only eat organic corn syrup. 😉 There are the things that are obvious and the things that get buried by labels and slogans. Do a search for 'The secret ingredient in your orange juice' Should land you over at Food Renegade. According to 'Modern Farmer' online, transporting grain to feed...

Any certification can be looked at for standards. USDA Organic means no pesticides or chemical fertilizers. Nice to have choices. Things that I have noticed with organics is better taste, longer lasting during storage, and cores, such as celery, tend to grow rather than rot when I throw them...

My understanding is that their pasture and their auxiliary food sources would both have to be certified to get the seal. One of the reasons seafood cannot be certified as organic. Not sure how honey can be certified as organic on that basis. How they certify yard waste made into compost as...

When I have hiked a trail and find a bridge link missing, note it on that trails section on Wikipedia, only to have someone change it back, because there is no site on the internet noting that the bridge is gone, something is wrong. If you go to the page regarding how the algorithm that uses...

Unfortunately Wikipedia can be altered by anyone, and often is. Far from a factual reference by a long shot. But, back to organic; produce grown using natural fertilizers like manure taste better, last longer in storage and have a higher nutritional value. Modern pesticides rely on hormones...

There is an organic non medicated chick feed. I think that it's Nutrina, but I am not sure.

I bought a 110 gallon plastic water trough for $78 at TSC; figured that it could be a swimming pool later on down the road. Good enough for eight runners to eight weeks, but just barely! Six ducks to ten weeks is acceptable too. Coops take time, trust me!

You'll have to share your coop calculator with me before I build my next coop!😜

Heck, a bakers dozen; only one more duck than I have now. I'd probably not even notice. 🙈

What breed are your ducks? I imagine that you are able to let your ducks scavenge fairly easily in your location.

Eight ducks will be no more work than four ducks. 😉

My plan was eight ducks, but one of my females turned out to be a male, so the Bosslady ordered up some more females. Fourteen ducks and two dogs. Easily manageable! 😍

Love my Runners! I think Daffy Duck is a black Runner, if it makes any difference. My Runners literally come running (take or leave the pun) every time they see me, and they que up to go into the coup at night. Runner eggs taste quite a bit like chicken eggs, which might be the most defining...
