So there is a BYC article writing contest going and I was thinking there aren't that many duck articles compared to chicken articles. What are the duck topics and questions asked all the time on here that could use a good article? Duck people, I encourage you all to write a duck article! Help me choose a topic.
 
How is raising ducklings different from raising chicks? Which breed is right for me? How do I identify what breed I just impulse bought at the feed store? How can I tell hens from drakes? What makes a good duck coop and pen? Why can’t I keep all the drakes I love with one hen, they are good right now? And finally, I would love an article explaining why when you buy ducklings from a feed store (like tractor supply by me) that buys from a hatchery that sells sexed ducklings, you always end up with too many drakes!
Sorry, I thinking I’m ranting instead of suggesting topics now!

There's some good stuff in there ;)

Maybe start with my feed store ducklings, learning their breed, sexing ducks and learning I have a drake, learning I have 10 drakes, discovering the problems with this, dealing with the problems, culling 90% of my flock by somehow finding them all loving forever homes, buying more feed store ducklings in hopes of getting more females to even out the ratios so I can still keep at least my 3 favorite drakes, rinse and repeat :lau
