Hello all! I originally joined here just a day ago for some help, but I figured it would be fun to get into the community a little bit.

I'm a high school girl that's gonna be a senior next year, I love animals and have two rabbits and a parakeet asides from my ducks. I also ride horses, but I won't get into that lol.

Up until last Friday, I did not really have a flock of ducks. After trying to save a wild duck (he didn't make it sadly), my mom agreed to get two ducks to raise as our own. Our first two were Muscovy females--Aspen and Cashew. While trying to set up a proper a coop, and letting them live outside, a raccoon got Cashew, but Aspen made it. I still blame myself for not securing the temporary coop better. :(
Aspen was so lonely that we got her a friend, and the one that I liked the best from the lady we bought them from (we went back to the original seller) was a male...Long story short, I now have 25 ducklings! lol.

Firefly was her companion, he wasn't hand raised so he isn't as sweet, but he's still a good bird. We have to keep him separated now from Aspen and the babies. But everyone is happy and healthy! I think, asides from poor Cashew, we have done a good job for first timers. :)

Please tell me about your own flocks! My dream is to have chickens one day, but the place where I live only allows ducks...weird, right? Haha.
 
G'Day from down under Skye'sDucks :frow Welcome!

I see you found the Duck Forum! :clap

I do hope you enjoy being a BYC member. There are lots of friendly and very helpful folks here so not only is it overflowing with useful information it is also a great place to make friends and have some fun.

BYC has Topic of the Week discussions which I have found to be a great resource, informative and sometimes entertaining; so definitely worth checking out. There are some down the bottom of the page which are duck specific.

If you would like to share Pictures and Stories of your ducks, you have come to the right place. BYC’ers never tire of these and do not back away slowly or commence eye rolling when the photo album or home videos come out ;)

Including your general location on your profile will assist others. Location, climate, season etc can be important factors when members are responding to any questions you may have and vice versa.

You might want to also Find Your State Thread and pop in and say hello.
