Where can i buy this?

I need one with geese on it then train my ducks and chickens to read before entering that area.

I love these signs =) need an attack broody one lol

Most folk don't understand what broody means, they might think it is a disease .. That's funny & would probably work at keeping unwanted people away..

How about a sign for our front gate that says something like..."WARNING. This property is currently infected by broody and caution should be exercised before entering!"

Finally got a pic of Tiggy's pretty green sheen. I've also seen it looking purple in the water in the sun.

Agh, so sweet.. Love the pic

So my ducks are almost 2 months. Charlie has a loud quack and is always loud trying to be the center of attention! Jojo quacks but everything about him is soft and quiet and I guess you could say raspier! So charlie is female and jojo is male? They are still getting their adult feathers so its too early for the curly tail feather. So if I go by voice sexing, am I right? Or could they both be girls?!

Our hen, Lauren is loud, Rick is not. He as a muffled quack.. 2 months might be a bit early..

That's a good one.

and I wouldn't be lying since I have 2 broody ducks and 4 ornery geese. I could just put a sign out that says this property is patrolled by 4 very ornery Geese. That would probably scare anyone away.

Hello everyone! Just wanted to know, which is friendlier, Rouen or khaki? I am interested in both but want the friendlier one. Review on both breeds would be great!

Not sure, however we hand raised our's so they are friendly.. We have silver Swedish.
Here are the spoiled brat's when they were young..
Also, our girl Lauren gives us just as many egg's as our chicken does.. This photo is of our chicken flock egg's.. Then jumbo quail with the chocolate speckled ones, along with wild dove egg's & finally at the bottom a duck egg..

I've not had the pleasure of knowing any KC's, but both my Rouens were always terrified of me and I had them since they were little babies. I still have the female and she wants nothing to do with me. She's getting close to three months old, I think. However I think it might just be me, because the two friendly ducklings I got to go in with her are getting more flighty around me, too

Jojo had another episode tonite, so he was good for weeks and I thought it had stopped. But now twice in the last week or so. My husband saw it and said he was fine and then if he gets scared or overly excited he throws himself on his back and looks like he has a seizure just kicking and thrashing. You flip him over and he's disoriented for about a min then back to normal. I wish I could fix him. I would never give him away, kill him,nor make him be. An outside duck, I'm afraid he would die. What do I do? Anything at all?

Thank you for letting me know. I thought my drake looked like a mallard, so assumed the females were also. Well what do you know. Learn something new every day. Guess I'd better read up on Welch Harlequins. Thank you

Welsh Harlequins do have very "mallard" coloration, just with a LOT more white on them. The patterning is very similar, though, so I can see how someone who wasn't familiar with the breed could be mistaken.
