just fair warning......dont get me wrong, i love my ducks.......but......they are messy, i mean MESSY!!!!!!!!!!

Yes they are! and they are stinky

I have three adult Ayelsburys and two adult Khakis. As well as the three hens and roo. The chickens seem so much cleaner now!

this is great my parents are out and Kids are glued to mickey mouse (for a treat on this gloomy day I actually put the tv on!!) Its nice to get online to chat with you guys when you are all online! Usually your all gone when I come on after the kids have gone to bed!!

You all seem to be putting me off the idea of ducks! we have a couple of wild ones on our dug out that are nice to watch but you can NEVER get anywhere near them! What about geese? are they as stinky and messy??! They are tempting to get to just make sure the kids stay away from the dug out. Our "kid eating monster" seems to be doing the trick for now but not sure how long we can keep that one going with my son!

But I do love them, they are funny and fun to watch!!!!

NO, Waffle, not trying to do that, just fair warning..... I learned the hard way, and have had a huge shake up in my family life right after I got mine.....I really love them, and now that they are outside, I love them even more!! Just got their pond in the ground, and one of the coolest things I have seen ever is them diving to the bottom for their first time ever!!!!!

lol I remember reading about them being in a two man tent. I live in Northern Alberta and the weather is fine now all greening up but just wouldn't know what to do with them during the winter months of -25 to -40

lol the tent was one of those 'necessity is the mother of invention' sort of things, but, Hey, it worked!! didn't last long, and now they are much happier and so cute!! I can now see them from my bedroom window
