In the Brooder
I'm currently the owner of 3 female ducks - 2 Khaki Campbells and a Golden 300 (from Metzer).
My husband and I are going to be adding to our menagerie when it warms back up, including a goose!
We've chosen to raise ducks for eggs because I'm not able to eat chicken eggs, and we don't really know anybody who's raised ducks. I've resisted joining so I don't plague the boards with new duck owner paranoia, but I've gotten a lot of very good advice and I'm hoping I can provide some in the future!
We did lose 3 ducks in November to a mink attack. The remaining 3 are doing perfectly fine, but we're interested in any advice you have about predator-proof enclosures. I have a hardware cloth palace in mind, and we're going to be employing a goose for added protection.
