Want to Adopt Some Ducklings, Need Some Advice..

[SarahScott]

Quote:
Oh believe me, I would never intentionally bring home more than one rooster.. or really even one, after seeibng the way they attack the poor hens. We have always raised chickens either from eggs or as chicks, and we have always ended up with at least 2 roosters (one time we have FIVE) and we usually give away what roosters we do have until we're down to 1 or 2.

I would love to get chickens again, especially with tick season running around again, but we're getting the ducks more because my son loves them, you know? And thanks for all of your advice!

i would think of geese perhaps, i think they are less skiddish and more likely to make a better pet for a child but I could be wrong. i KNOW i HATCHED MY RUNNERS AND HANDLED THEM A LOT AS DUCKLINGS AND THEY ARE STILL REALLY SKIDDISH. opps caps
