If this is your first time with ducks, keep in mind babies can drown. They don't have water proof feathers; just down. It'll get water logged and they'll sink. They don't have mama duck to preen them and get the oily water proof stuff going. We had some near death experiences while learning the hard way.

Yea i read very shallow water for very short periods followed by drying them off immediately after.

I make my water deep but stay with them and I also put a "rest island" in there for them (like a heavy bowl upside down with a rag over for footing).. That way I was able to let them swim deep from just a couple days old the way mom would. Never left unattended of course, like you said.

Yep. Once we learned that we had to stay and watch and provide a resting area, we were able to fill up the tub because they love to dive and play. It's a ball watching them.

Ok, so it was good to see Flower and her husband again. He absolutely cracks me up. Valleychicks got the honor of meeting me. MrsZoo was there. I scolded her for her lack of logging in here. And of course Jdduck and Cliff. I got 6 poults and almost a dozen turkey eggs from jdduck. Eggs from Flower. And ended up buying two half grown turkey hens from some guy. And a tiny little white Serama rooster from a kid that gave him to GAMjr. We sold 6 SLW roosters, 3 Pekin ducks and gave away 3 Pilgrim Ganders. 1 will go to a traveling petting zoo thing and the other two will be released on a private lake. Poor GAMjr had a lady want to buy her silkie rooster right off the bat but we didn't collect the money and then the heifer never came back. But she did get 5 bucks for her silkie/something mix and a stuffed chicken toy from inside TSC. GAM made a new friend... the lady that let everyone park in her field. Overall, it was a very good day. It would have been better if I coulda gotten GAM out of bed and moving earlier.

Don't even try blaming our late arival on me you goober. That was all you.

I was actually surprised you were able to talk to GAM as long as you did. You must be a real saint.

Bite it, ya stink turd.


Hey Cliff ... she sold me a "Poultry Dealer" license. She also told me that I was free to sell my birds once it was signed and paid for. Hmmm

On the positive side, going forward you will now be able to advertise and sell birds. Keep in mind that from a tax standpoint, all of your supplies, feed and stock may be deductible as costs of doing business, selling birds.

I thought you had to set up an actual LLC for that?
