Does anyone know of a butcher willing to do ducks and how much it costs? My ducks snuck off and hatched babies and I have to get rid of at least 10 males the fighting is just too much.

Where are you located?

Hello from suburban Montgomery County! Does anyone know where I can get a bantam rooster (of any breed really) around the area? Muscovy ducks as well! thanks!

Hi there! I'm in cecil county myself.
The new menber greeters suggested I pop in. Anyone else from RisingSun/Northeast area?

Frederick County here- hello @Emberfalls and @besorto! What kind of chickens do you all keep? I have Delawares and hybrids that I make using a production RIR over the Dels.

 

[Emberfalls]

We're not completely sure what we've got yet. But the goal is just to produce big, healthy, beautiful layers. No showing.

We have a few Easter eggers. I'm told we also have a blue laced red Wyandotte, an RIR, a light brahma and a partridge rock. Still not familiar with breeds enough to know what we've got going on though.

I have a background in breeding and showing other animals though. And I used to host bird shows with a club, so hopefully it'll be on track.

Well it sounds like you've got a good mix! That's, nice bc you will be able to get a feel for which breeds you like. Plenty of folks are good at identifying breeds if you post some pics-
Good luck on your new flock!

Hello @Maeschak ,

I have a buff orpington roo, australorps, a rhode island red, a golden laced polish, a golden laced wyandotte, cochins, buckeyes, ameracauncas, an ancona, a speckled sussex, a cuckoo maran, a little silkie/cream legbar cockerel, and a black jersey giant

Hi folks! I'm in MoCo and we have only six so far--2xBuff Orpington, 2xRhode Island Reds, 1xSilver-Laced Wyandotte and 1xBrahma. We are thinking of trying to get some Welsummer, Delaware, maybe cream legbars and/or leghorns (for not brown eggs) and maybe some more of our current breeds this spring--we're hoping to find some locally.

I have two welsummers and hands down they are the most dumb & flighty Birds I've ever seen. I highly recommend cuckoo Marans over welsummers if you want dark brown eggs
