If you have Ducks, geese, Swans etc I want to see them! And if you know the breed please post it too.
Oh and if you have some pics of their pens that would be good to see too.
 
Check out my website, it has most everything that you wanted to see. I am also in the process of building breeding pens for my call ducks, as soon as I get that done I will post pics.
 
i have inside the house muscovies

duckie and quackers as babies
 
thank you! yes they are inside all the time. i took them outside once and they just wanted back in lol. we are saving up money to build them a pen. hopefully they will go outside soon!! it's kind of a hassle having them in. they like to roam and fly around my room lol so i lay sheets on my foor. it's fun though. i love having them inside i just hate cleaning them lol.

i was unable to afford them when they were babies and i still can't afford them lol. being an unemployed student.. soo the sheets work fine. i got 50 dollars for christmas and i got a harness in hopes my female would get used to it so i could take her on walks, but she HATES it. she went nuts. she got stuck under my bed, which is a futon so i was able to get her out. i haven't seen any big enough for my drake so i think i give up
hmm.png
i have stubborn ducks who are set in their ways. my drake won't even let me hold him, let alone pick him up to put him in the pen so he can eat. lol. lately when i've tried to hold my female, she flies out of my hands lol. she's a nut.

Okay, in the center we have "Blackjack", a self-black call duck drake from the Foleys, who is awaiting his new hen who is in transit right now (just posted about that).

To the left of him we have "Ritz", a Foley white drake who is named Ritz because, well, he thinks he's all that and a bag of chips besides! The only duck in my pen he won't challenge is Blackjack, who likes to live and let live and expects the same of others and can put up quite a scrap if they don't let him be. I don't expect we will have trouble pairing up Ritz with anyone because he already thinks they're all his anyway!

"Noisy" is the gray hen in the foreground, a Larry LaGesse bred female. She puts the "call" in call duck and I expect if we ever have a duck-call contest at a show, I will walk away with every prize if she has something to say about it, and she usually does! She wants to be Blackjack's hen but I think we have a gray male in her future. Hopefully Blackjack will like his new hen because he and Noisy are joined at the hip right now.

I think "Scrapper" is in the upper right corner but it's hard to tell. Scrapper is exactly what his name implies...he likes to pick an argument with anybody over anything! Food, hens, the pool, whatever...it will be good to get everyone into their breeding pens for the season because the drakes are all starting to get scrappy!

Those are the ones I can name off the bat...there are 15 of them so far and they move around a lot out there.
