When we moved to WV in 2018, ticks were crawling all over me whenever i even looked at the grass. Then we got ducks and i haven't seen a tick until this year. But this year it was insane, neighbors told me their cats 'n dogs had ten or more tick-bites per day !
Except if you have a smart momma, who found a place with a pond without large fish and a floating island and a guy who welcomes momma ducks and her babies and feeds them with cracked corn and cat-food… And a flock of domestic ducks around who are welcoming too.
You still have grass? Most of my yard is mud and muck!
You have some very beautiful ducks! Toward the end when your black Swedish? Has it and that blue Swedish? Comes up she tells the other nope mine, only to have the white one take it lol
During the summer, the plantago covers the area between the house and the duck house, so it isn't too bad. During the Winter however…
- Mixture of mud and poop.
I always wanted to have a very mixed flock. All these different breed behave, even quack different! On hotb summer days, when everybody's resting it is just fun to watch that patchwork duck carpet with some grass in between.
