Hi! from a BYC newbie + duck farmer

[FrogPond2012]

Just wanted to say a fond "Hello!" to the BYC community! I currently have 13 ducks/ducklings amongst other pets (cats, dogs, turtles, and a rabbit). I have 2 Rouens, 2 Khaki Campbells, 2 Indian Runners, 3 Pekings, 1 Ancona, and 3 ducklings, either Runners or Campbells (too young to tell). There's 3 females, 7 males, and 3 babies that are too young to tell (at least for me). I'm just trying to get more of a balance flock. Again Hello to everyone!

Hello and welcome! I just joined a couple days ago. Everyone is super nice and helpful. Lots of information and advice on here.

Certainly finding out there's a lot of information and advice here. I'm finally able to properly help my ancona, Mazie. She has been having foot problems and now I can really help her.

FrogPond:......."duck farmer?" How deep do you plant them? I'm having trouble growing chicks......JK......(If you check out the joke thread and my posts there....it'll make some sense).....

Welcome to BYC! Please make yourself at home and we are here to help.

Sounds like you have a lovely flock! That's a good "balance" of birds. Good luck with them all.

Welcome to the Backyard chickens flock, maybe if you post the "unknowns" photos on the Duck Thread, they can ID them for you.

I should add that all of my ducks are wonderful pets and a bunch of big babies. Hewey the huge Peking, Quasimodo (or Quasi) the humpchest (instead of a humpback or roached back), and Samwise (1 of the babies) LOVE to be held. Even poor little Mazie the Ancona is starting to like to be held. I'll be taking more pictures of the ducklings to add to an ID thread. I never knew Mazie was an Ancona until I started to see pictures of the breed at BYC. The forums here already have been a big help!
