Hello, I have a beautiful white drake who needs a new home in the Southern California region. We have too many drakes and buck needs to be rehomed. He is a pet, not dinner, and is great at eating pesky bugs and plants :) Thanks!

Hello all! Long time no post. I was at the feed store today and they had a goose that had been mistreated, abandoned and scheduled to go to the slaughterhouse. I decided he gets a reprieve and can live his life happily and Honkily in my duck yard. I gave him the quarantine yard and pond. I...

Happy new year BYC!!!!! It has been a busy couple of weeks for the ducks and their home. The small pond went through a major overhaul, I leveled it out with the ground, added an 85 gallon filtration system and added some river stone and a baby palm tree for ambiance. The palm tree is now...

Bananas are the worst thing ever! They taste horrible, I would rather lick a freeway than eat a banana. They have a terrible consistency, It feels like your chewing radioactive sludge. They are overwhelming, if you put a tiny bit of banana in your smoothie or drink, all you will taste is...

Well.....after a month of successfully filtering duck poop soup, I have found some weaknesses in the filter system. First, the duck sludge routinely clogged my output so I would have to stop the system, disconnect the swirly filter and empty it. Second, there was not enough capacity in the...

Hello All! As I finish enclosing my duck yard, I needed a little advice on Coops. I know how to build them and I know what design i am leaning towards but I just need a bit of guidance. Since these coops will be within the enclosed yard, predator protection is not an issue. Do all the...

Hello goose people!! I am robin and am currently raising four ducklings and two khakis for eggs and pets. I have been toying with the idea of getting a goose(s) this spring and wanted to do some research before I made a decision. I have done some reading but couldn't find answers to my...

I have about a days worth of work into the new pond and the covered run project. My four ducklings are getting huge and definitely won't fit into the pond where the khakis are. (They are most definitely paying attention to the fuzz balls running around invading there space) The run is an...

Well......I inderestimated how big Jumbo Pekins were. Although my two Brutus twins are only two weeks old, it is painfully obvious that those clowns will not fit in my 75 gallon pond, let alone there two siblings, so time for a bigger pond. I have successfully filtered the 75 gallon pond that...

Good Morning All, Well at 29 days, I have four beautiful ducklings. 2 Jumbo Pekins, a Mallard, and a Welsh. I need a little help with the Welsh, but here is the events leading up to my question. On day 27, a Mallard bill triumphantly pipped through its shell and announced its presence to...

We are in day four of our incubation and I candled all the eggs today. Of the 13, 3 had completely free air sacks and 6 were loose. Of the 13, all of the mallards are developing and they have hearts and veins :) I am using the @lacrystol lazy method and all seems to be progressing. Humidity is...

Nibbler and Bubbles They are golden 300 layers (I believe) and are about 5 - 6 months old. We picked them up from a local farm and they were not terribly pleased about being separated from there flock. When we got home they were a bit stressed and hid under a tree next to the pond. I...

Anyone on the forum selling fertilized eggs for this breed? I saw the information post and figured I would hatch those cuties if I can get the eggs. Metzer doesn't have them :(

Hello, long time no post I have finished the duck pond and added a little waterfall for waterfowl enjoyment and to prevent water stagnation Here is the final product (Minus flowers and such, but that's a whole nother project) Now onto incubator status. I purchased a farm...

Hello Everyone, I have recently finished building a pond for my soon to be ducks and I am now moving on to the coop construction. I am only going to have 2 ducks but I plan on building a rather large coop so I can also store bedding, food supplies etc. With this in mind, I was at Lowes the...

Hello All! I have begun creating the duck pond in the run today. I have a small hill and a 50 gallon pond liner. My plan is going to mount the pond in the middle of the hill and put grass and some tasty plants around it. I will run a drain to irrigate everything and a pump to have a bit of a...

Hello All! I have been lurking for some time but I have finally decided to post as I am getting ready to buy a couple of Rouen Duckies (hens) and had a few questions. Background - We are buying the ducks for pets and buying two of them so they don't get lonely. If they lay eggs, awesome and...
