Lik I said earlier, I managed to pass the ducklings at TSC today. There was even a runner in the bin.

wonder if its still there. Not that far.

We might start making the trip to Navasota once a month for feed and to eat. Time you get through traffic in CS, you could be at TSC Navasota. Plus, the Mexican restaurant on the loop is great.

@WannaBeHillBilly The lady hatching my Anconas has her own flock of them and also she gets eggs from WorthItFarms, which I think is where hers are from. I had been planning on getting ducklings from learycow until I found out about this lady about 20 miles up the freeway.

So nice when you can get them local. I’m a nervous wreck about mine coming USPS from MO.

I'm trying to avoid the Rural King at all cost! - Caught myself at the local feed store enjoying the little chicken and turkey chicks being lifted out of their boxes and set down into their breeders, peeping so cute… AAAARGH!

Can't wait to see the pictures! What kind of Anconas will your get? Black, Chocolate, Blue, Silver, Lavender, Lilac or Tri-Color? Hope your ducks will look nicer than my Magpies, they're mostly black with a white bib and belly.

Don't be! The majority of the duckling deliveries will be just fine, these little rascals are survivors. And ordering via mail from a large hatchery has the advantage of receiving correctly sexed ducklings - a neighbor told me he bought ten "sexed" ducklings from TSC, two drakes and eight ducks and they turned out to be five drakes a five ducks - straight run…

I am taking straight run to begin with. If more than one drake, then aggression will depends on who stays and who doesn't.

Tried that! Did not even repel a raccoon…

As far as I know ... raccoons don't mark their territory by "marking" ... however ... like I said in post #1396 ... coyotes tend too ... and the urine is not used as a repellent, but ... and attractant, so Mr. Sparky can cay HOWDY!
