Knowing your neighbors are complete buttheads, I would find a way to tag my ducks ASAP.

Yea! I would put bands on them today! That way if it's ever a problem again...also clip their wings if they had to fly over your fence...

You can use zip-ties to band your ducks for identification. Do that until you can get some regulation bands from some poultry supply place. If you have concerns that a neighbor might try to claim your birds were theirs, you should get bands that positively identify your birds as your own.

Band your ducks, take pictures, next time report them stolen, file charges.

Or you can tattoo them.

This place has both tags and tattoo equipment...

Note on banding, they will remove the bands if they are serious thieves, of course this makes it a felony though. You might want to consider wing bands most times they can't be seen unless you look for them.

Yay! I'm glad you got your ducky back!! I agree with other posters, BAND HER, so that way she is even more identifiable.

I am soo happy you got your ducky back

BAND THEM ALL!!!!

What are wing bands? How do you put them on? We have zip ties on them already but they can just cut them off.. I dont want to tatoo because i dont want to terrify them and then they want nothing to do with me.. I have actual leg bands on my peacocks they expand as the bird grows, i got them from the man that sold them to us. where can i get those and do they sell them for ducks and chickens??? How much are they??
