Ok so my mom really wants a mallard (not a rouen, I suggested it) but I'm worried it might get picked on by the Cayuga due to the size difference. What do you think?

i dont know where you live but in florida you have to have a permit to keep migratory waterfowl. make sure you know the rules so you dont get in trouble. i havent read one post where someone didnt have their mallards fly away. if you can keep them legally, then make sure they cant fly away. then make sure that you have good predator protection since they cant fly.

I live in MO. But would it be ok with the Cayuga?

dont know. my experience is limited to florida statutes, muscovy's and pilgrim geese

Ok so I've decided to just get a mallard and a black east indie or some other call/bantam duck. But that means I can't order from Metzer anymore so I'll probably be using ideal poultry. From what I've heard they often will have the breed you want available even if it doesn't say it is

Um... after reading reviews that ideal has no insulation and often includes chicks in your order i may just have to convince my mom to let me get a mallard and a Cayuga! She wants two small breeds... but I would love to contact ideal first. Does anyone know their email because I can't find it on their website

It's under their email us on the front page right under their phone numbers. I've emailed them before and it takes a day or so to hear back. Also a FYI ideal doesn't have any geese till spring and is extremely limited on ducks till spring as well.

Oh is that their email? I think I found it but it wasn't that

Right now it looks like chickens will be allowed but not other poultry...they are still voting on regulations. I sent them an email but I doubt it'll work. Even if they allow chickens it won't be without permits and inspections.
