Ducks are the worst.
They like getting in their water bowls and then pooping in them.
Chickens > Ducks when it comes to raising them.

i wanted turkey's but they were out. They didn't want chickens since everyone around here has them.

Turkeys are not as bad as ducks, but they are dumb as rocks, and sometimes mean.
But MAN are they tasty. :cool:

Careful with those but could be worse at least they won't multiply.
My sister did hamsters one summer. Started with one cage ended with 3 or 4.
Hamsters are mean and one got maimed.
There were also a few albino hamsters born, but no more albinos born once they got returned.

Also won't the ducks get way to big?

lol the school asked us if we wanted the hamsters. while my daughter was all for it i said no. i hate t hose buggers.


the ducks only need to be kept a eye on for like 2 weeks then they can go outside. I have a large shed that is perfect for them. it has a door they can get in and out of. i just need to build a area for them inside and put up a fence.

Do you have a little pool they can splash in? They'd probably like that.

yeah. they have water. they don't need a pool until they are slighty older. wich im going to buy a very small kiddie pool for them.
