The only 1 outa all 6 together that pecks is a game hen the rest are fine. I also have 3 OEGB nd 2 japenese bantams.

I am glad yours are doing well. I just had the one experience with them so maybe I had some bad ones?

Just stopping in to say Hi. I used to lurk and occasionally post in that other thread. I pretty much stick to ducks and with the weather we have had lately, I'm glad I do

and thanks for stopping in! I always liked to read your posts about your ducks. You always brought a smile to my face when you laid out the pros to owning ducks. I am sure they are loving this weather; my chickens on the hand are either hiding or running around a soppy wet mess!

I've got 8 ducks and drake currently. Kind of a mixed batch of indian runner types and khaki campbells.

Are you saying I'm pushing a certain agenda?! I thought my opening post was more subtle than that... I'll have to work on that if my master plan for ducks to take over the world is to succeed!

Glad to see our area represented. Any suggestions as to a non flighty bantam breed? Thinking Cochins

Bantam cochins, bantam Delawares, bantam wyandottes.... basicly the bantams of the bigger breeds.

Ducks are superior in some ways... some ways.... lol... They are hardier, easily trained.... but they are messy and not as friendly as some breed of chicken.

That said, I like to always have a few ducks. Only a few, though. I made the mistake once of trying a whole flock of Khaki Campbells.... OMG! NEVER AGAIN!

Congrats!

I need to stay far, FAR away from TSC but must go get chicken food.

I will be strong because I have an incubator on the way & will get try to hatch my own.

I do not buy feed from TSC do to it being low quality. Co-oP or Lakeshore has much better for same price. I know Morristown Nill is a great price too and fresh.
