I practice birth control here to keep from having to go through this every year. This year I decided to let my ducks and chickens hatch some eggs. Boy did that end wrong. Out of 6 Runner ducklings that hatched 5 were drakes and out of 4 chicks 2 were roos. Thankfully a good friend on here found homes for 4 of my boys all I had to do was meet her in Va. day trip. I'd have driven further to know they got good homes. My 2 extra roos ended up food. But I am through hatching. I haven't told my flock this yet but I am in control of all that happens here and they will just have to accept it. lol My birds are for pleasure first[I enjoy them so much] eggs second and only food when we end up with extra roos. My females go into retirement and live out their lives here. My roos that I keep get to do the same.

I was so lucky with Katharina's babies this year, three drakes and four ducks. - Then came the neighbor with the unwanted Christmas present. I still don't know what to do with so many drakes. I can't eat them…
