New to outdoor animals

[weiserclan]

Hi peeps!

We just moved out to the country from a small town and have some land to put critters on. We're starting with ducks this year and a garden, and are hoping for chickens next year. We have a spring drain running through our property and thought that would be a nice place for the ducks to roam. Might be getting bantam ducks - gray calls. Because I like the wild mallard look and they're cute. From central PA, and man is it hard to find ducks to buy.

Sounds like an adventure! Ducks are super cool and a load of fun! Hope you enjoy them!

Greetings from Kansas, weiserclan, and

! Great to have you with us! Glad you joined the poultry universe! Glad you have a water source - the water demands of ducks are outrageous! A great hatchery for ducks (and learning about them) is Metzer's linked below. Also check out the BYC duck thread. Good luck and have fun!!
