Harley, Ms Jellybean has left the forum.  She was being attacked by certain people through this forum and through her PM, that she bowed out.

I thought that mite be what happen!! I seen a post from one person that ****** me off. I was going to stay out of it and not say anything cause I do not like people butting in to my business and this is not place for that kind of drama. I also don't think this is the place for people that can not live and let live to to be. What Msjellybean does or does not do is no body's **** BUSINESS but hers and if they don't like it that way they should just go F--- themselves!!!!!!!!! Sorry but when people act stupid it pisses me off.

Well I will get off my soap box now and get out of bed!!!

Sure wish she would come back and that other person can stay away!!! If someone see or talks with her let her know I miss her.

I hate to hear that. She was a really sweet person and very helpful and informative. People can be so nasty sometimes.

Sigh.....we have lost some of my favorite people due to over reaction and general nastiness. It makes me very sad

She was such a sweetheart. That really stinks. People should learn to mind their own business.

Hello from Deep East Texas! I live just north of Nacogdoches (only a little over a hour from you, Harley!) i don't have any chickens, I have ducks. I can't believe how many hours I spend reading this thread about everybody else's chickens when I don't even have any, but I do enjoy it. I had to go to a conference a couple of weeks ago and thought I'd never catch up!!

I raise Welsh Harlequin and Saxony ducks. Boy, those Saxony eggs are BIG!! I had to order some special egg cartons because their eggs are too big for the ones at Tractor Supply.

Here's a picture of my ducks from this winter, when they were out in the snow. The Saxony boys have grey heads and the girls are a beautiful buff color. The Welsh Harlequin boys have a bottle green head (sort of look like bigger mallards), and the girls are sort of speckled dun colored.

LTF ~ Question on ducks. Dh and I have a good sized pond at our place, and we were wanting to get either some ducks or geese. Do you pen your ducks up at night or do they have the run of the place?


HI and welcome to all the new people! Still have over 75 posts to catch up on, but have to run to my Rheumy appt this morning.

DH and I got a new shovel, will post it later.

@Harley ~ I'll be in Tyler this morning, but I'm NOT going to TSC!!!

welcome to this forum. I have thought about ducks but hear they crap every where and not sure I could provide them with water enough for them to swim in. Do you sell the eggs and the birds?

When I typed that post I meant to say hello to a new person, not to say that I am new to BYC or even this forum. I made the mistake of not copying their post, however.

To answer your question, Harley, ducks do crap everywhere but then I bet your chickens are not using some nifty little chicken toilet! They aren't any worse about it than chickens. I go into their house every morning and use a little kid's garden rake to pick up the poopy bits of bedding and chunk them out, then rake it over and add a bit more. Ducks don't scratch through their bedding, they just walk on it and pack it down.

I don't have a pond or anything, just a couple of plastic kiddy pools for them. They are happy as clams to swim around in those.

Duck eggs are absolutely delicious, and wonderful for baking. They are actually more nutricious than chicken eggs. I do sell the eggs for $4 a dozen. I need to get my duck house and runs set up to separate my two breeds, so I can start breeding and selling birds. I love my ducks!

Do you have pictures of your set up?
