Hey everyone, this is my first day on this site. I have four rouen ducks almost a year old. i have 2 males and 2 females. i enjoy watching them swim and play and my kids love them also. I have them in a pen that is about 10 foot by 10 foot with a pond I dug using the front end loder of my tractor and a liner form homedepot for ponds.

Hello there and welcome to BYC!

I don't know a thing about ducks other than how cute they are. You will definitely want to connect with other Duck owners here on BYC to share stories, pics and get any help you may need. Here is our Ducks forums... https://www.backyardchickens.com/forums/ducks.42/

Good luck with your birds and welcome to our roost!

Glad you're here !

A must have for your poultry is a FIRST AID KIT for any issues that would arise. (https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/suggestions-for-a-first-aid-kit.1150128/)
It's definitely better to have it and not need it rather than need it and not have it.

Also, make sure your coop(s) have a proper amount of VENTILATION. (https://www.backyardchickens.com/ar...-there-and-cut-more-holes-in-your-coop.47774/) Your chickens will absolutely thank you for it!
