Hello, I have just joined. I have never raised ducks before. I will be using the summer and fall to gather this & that, build a duck house, make my acre+ as preditor resistant as I can before locating four Ancona hens to raise as pets in western WA.

I 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. This one may also be of particular interest:
Topic of the Week - Keeping the Flock Safe from Predators
