Ducks

Ducknagers - similar to Teenagers. - I know that "n" isn't quite correct, but makes the word easier to pronounce

Aaand i have another fluff-butt duckling-fever attack! - It's that time of the year again where i must be blind-folded at the entrance of every farm-store…

I know and it is killing me. I am about to run by Southern States and TSC and I am scared and hoping it is too early for chicks and ducklings. I just need duck food and nothing else. Seeing the pekins little like that just did me in I am afraid.

Call them ahead of time an ask if they have curb service

Well I made it in and out of both stores with just what I needed. Southern States had some but they were in the way back of the store so I avoided it.

Hi! We have a small flock of 9 chickens. I have ordered 5 ducks who will be arriving in April. To give you a quick description of the scenario- they will each have their own coop with a connected shared run. They will come out of the run daily but only with the supervision of a family member because of the hawks. My husband has brought up the concern to me of them going in our in-ground pool. Our backyard is approx a little over an acre with the chickens/ducks being on one side and the pool on the other. There is no fence surrounding the pool nor are we willing to do that. Last summer which was the first summer with chickens, they didn’t mess with it and all was well. Should we be worried about the ducks going in if they have access to a smaller swimming pool in their run? We don’t want to have to be on top of them with the worry that if the kids or I turn our backs or step away they are sneaking into the pool and pooping! Anyone with personal experiences and thoughts on this matter would be so helpful. I really want ducks and trying to convince my husband that all will be well. Ha. Thanks in advance!!

My ducks looooovvvvee anywhere they think they aren’t allowed
