Hello everyone! I'm new here.

[louborges]

I'm new to this forum, I've been keeping backyard birds since I was a young lad, Which was a while back, I have raised many birds, Quail, Chickens, Turkeys, Ducks, partridges, and guinea fowl. I am close to retirement and want to enjoy raising birds again. My latest obsession is raising ducks. I never thought I would like eating duck but now I'm a fan. It will be difficult raising them here in the dry southwest, but I think I could manage raising a few, Look forward to reading what you all are doing.

"Dry Southwest" er here too. Not sure specifically where you're at but you can hit this link and find your state's thread if you want to see how the locals around you are making it work.

Hello and welcome to BYC!

Where in the southwest are you? It's pretty dry out here in New Mexico, but we get by.

Make yourself at home here!
