New to the birdy scene in IL

[ErikaM]

Hi there! I am thrilled to be the proud mommy of my multitude of chickens and ducks. Unfortunately I bought too many (as chicks), and now keeping up with the poop is really weighing me down, if you know what I mean. I have around 40 ducks, only a few are male, and I think coming down to 20 would be the best way to go. Anybody in eastern IL or western IN want some pekin ducks? Some of them have started laying but I can't tell which! They're fluffy and beautiful, I just have too many
Thanks and take care!

Hi Erika, welcome to BYC! I hope you find nice homes for your ducks.

Wow. I have 10 ducks and think that is plenty. Hard to resist those ducklings though they do grow up into eating, pooping, and hopefully egg laying machines.
Good luck with the re-homing. Maybe try Kijiji or find a local chicken/duck forum.
