I’m new to the backyard bird game. No chickens yet, but a lively bunch of ducklings and a pair of goslings to start!

Our ducks are (hopefully) all female, Silver Appleyard, Welsh Harlequin, and White Duclair. Our two geese are Toulouse males. We are hoping the geese will act as protectors for the new waddle!

They are all about 4 days old now and living happily in a large oval livestock feeder as a brooder until they’re ready to go outside.

Their duck house with fully-enclosed run area will be built shortly, and a big area outside the run will be fenced for daytime activities. Lots of work, but excited to see them grow!

Next year we’ll get the chicken coop all fixed up and start a flock, but for this year we hope the ducks will keep us entertained and fed (eggs only!)

Welcome to BYC!!

Welcome to BYC! You might want to pick up something like a children's wading pool so they can have a place to swim and clean up. Good luck with your ducks.
