Greetings From Sunny Florida!

Hello all!
My name is Davenport, I am a college student in my early 20s. I live and study in Orlando! I am majoring in zoology and hope to work in conservation after I graduate next fall.
My husbandry background is in reptiles, but I love all animals and am planning to homestead up north after my graduation. I'm mostly interested in ducks and geese! My dream is to have a big garden and live next to a pond!
Right now, I live in a small apartment complex, and I tend to a flock of feral Muscovy ducks which live on the property. I want to learn all that I can about caring for animals like this before I set out on caring for ducks of my own!
Pleased to meet you!

Hi Davenport and welcome to BYC. Here's a link to the duck forum - Ducks. There are also articles in the learning centre that may be of interest - https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/

This is a useful link of BYC guides to take a look at announcements-feedback-issues-guides.3 I’d suggest including your location using the guide in that link, if you have not already done so. You can use this link to contact members in your area - Find your State's thread.

Best wishes
