ISO: Farm/homestead/new home for ducks.
If anyone has or knows someone who has a farm/homestead situation and would like some ducks, please reach out! We have 3 adult drakes that are butcher weight (if that’s your kind of thing) 2 Pekins and one Mallard. We bought them spring 2020 as week-old ducklings that were inaccurately sexed as female. When they started to mature I realized they all had drake feathers, which personally wasn’t an issue but the older they get the more aggressive they’ve started to become with each other. Given our limited space and lack of females, I don’t see the issue getting resolved. I think they would fare much better with either more space or a mixed flock. We bought them with the intention of an organic solution to our snail problem in the garden (which worked wonderfully!) and eggs. I’m just looking for options, any advice, ideas are much appreciated! Ducks are free and I’ll give whatever food/bedding we still have on hand. Thank you!
