Hi! I've been reading this site for months, learning a few things here and there but wandered on over here again just recently looking at duck information as I try to figure out if my little ducklings are male or female and if I really have a Magpie or an Ancona (he's white and blackish green/ but looks more like a magpie with green bill but I haven't found any info on whether a magpie can be green)


Eventually chickens will be added to my little menagerie (probably next spring) and figured I probably should go ahead and join the forum because I'm gonna need tips on building a chicken tractor

My little farm consists of horses, dogs, goats, cats, and recently 10 little rapidly growing ducklings (when are they officially 'ducks'? I'll have to figure that one out

) Chickens are next on the 'grow the farm' schedule and eventually sheep and a cow or two (hopefully mini cows

So I don't end up running out of room

Actually, I'm not from Bogalusa, lol, though I do laugh when people ask because it was a play on words that started with the town's name. I'm on the SW side of the state, just a bit south of Crowley

between two smaller towns, one of which is the duck capital

but most people recognize Crowley before they recognize Gueydan so I usually use Crowley as a reference point, lol.

Bogielousa is the nickname my dad calls my dog Bogie, lol. He's spotted KINDA like an appaloosa horse, (blue merle aussie) but I like the name so much because of the Louisiana reference that I kept it, hehe. The name travels with me because I got the ducks specifically to teach eventually the dogs, more specifically Bogie, to work ducks so that we can maybe do some herding dog trials

and once they accomplish that they'll retire to my pond as pretty ornaments

from Alabama. Aussies are a great breed, aren't they? I had one as a teenager, & she was very easily trained to herd my grandmother's ducks & it was something she loved doing. Good luck with your ducklings & with teaching Bogie to herd
