how many ducks do you have???

[Rosebud 18]

We have 13 runners, 3 welsh harlequin, 2 pekins, 2 black swedish and 1 blue swedish. We also have a pilgrim gander and 3 baby toulouse geese. I don't think they are that hard to care for. We feed and water them in the mornings, give them fresh water 2 to 3 more times during the day and feed them again at night. Theres just me and my husband and since we retried we enjoy them so much. I guess you could say its a hobby to us. They are fenced in almost an acre with an electric fence on the outside of the pen. We have 4 10' x 10' dog pens inside their area that we have installed a panel in the middle of each and now have 8 individual pens for breeding purposes. Oh and we have 8 hen and 1 rooster.

I have 3. I started with 2, lost 1, and got 4 to replace it. 5 ducks was way too much for me. They share the chickens coop (they put themselves to bed there every night, can't convince them to sleep anywhere else) and made a huge mess of it. I decided to cut back, and have decided 3 is perfect for me.

We have 4 ducks (2 pekin, 2 mallards), 9 hens, 2 roos and 30 broilers (they have a month left and they won't be around anymore)


I would like 2 more ducks just not sure when that will happen

but otherwise they free range, they have a shed they stay in at night, they have 2 ponds to swim, so besides cleaning there housing weekly/ fresh food and water daily they are super easy!

Seven chocoate and blue chocolate pied muscovies. One drake, the rest are hens. I don't have a pic. Just got them this week.

None, but I'm hoping to hatch some of my friend's eggs this spring

I'm down to only 90. I sold 10 of them last weekend. WHEW!!!!!!

40 more scheduled to hatch in the next few weeks, so if they all hatch, I will be at 130 ducks.

 

[hulufarms]

5 khaki campbells and 30 eggs in the incubator
