Welcome @Edgewater Ducks Chicago . Lovely flock!! @Table4Six that is an adorable picture . How many breeds do you have?

Thank you! She is pretty cute. I have somewhere around twenty breeds, not including my two mix breeds.

Which ones if you don’t mind sharing?

You wouldn’t be passing through Western NC anytime soon @Table4Six lol

I bet you could do something like this since your land is quite hilly. My land is flat where I have my ducks so I don't think it would work for me unless I build up one end and then let it drain onto my blueberry bushes. Hummmm........

Hi Everyone. Just became a member today (though have been reading for a while). I'll probably start some threads later on, but in the meantime, here's a couple pictures of my urban flock of Welshies!

Your ducks are so beautiful. I love that breed too!

This would definitely fertilize your blueberries as long as you had a method to prevent the dirt from washing away.

You have some very nice breeds.

Definitely! I love them way too much not to give them names.
