Hello New Duck Mom

[Newduckmom225]

Hi,

I’m new to owning ducks and I had 8 but recently have had a predator take 2. I have Perkins and Cayuga.

I started this because I just enjoy ducks and I’m going to be an empty nester sooner. These ducks give me so much joy to have them follow me around. Seeing their personalities is amazing to me.

We have other pets only cats and a dog and our daughter has raised show hogs for FFA.

Looking forward to learning more from this community and meeting new folks.
