My family had two when I was a kid. The first one was a duckling my dad found just walking down the road near the house while we were in the backyard. Since it was Independence Day, we called it Firequacker. I can't remember what happened to it, I think it flew off. A few months later, Dad comes home with another one that of course we called Firequacker II. It was attacked by the neighbors retrievers when it got out of the fence and died.

Can't link directly to the thread as it's in a restricted area of that forum, but here's the cut and paste version. Sorry for leaving them cold bu that's a crap ton of links to put in individually.

" Here are my general reasons for preferring ducks, followed by links to information.

1. Generally healthier, more resistant to parasites.
2. Better at foraging and keeping pests down.
3. Will not scratch and uproot plants.
4. Better eggs: larger, less water content, thicker shell, keeps longer.
5. Easier to contain and herd.
6. Quieter, especially if keeping a male for breeding."

Easier is debatable, ducks don't scratch up your garden and are generally healthier for example. And good laying breed ducks will match laying hens.

Neither is right or wrong, they're both good choices.

Yep. That's them I think. Are they the Vikings of waterfowl, leaving a swath of destruction and goose shit in their paths?  





We bought a couple goslings once. I raised them by hand. They followed me everywhere, I gave them treats and affection. Sometimes I'd be out lying in the sun and they'd join me.



And then they reached adulthood, and they turned into soulless nightmares who feasted on human flesh to sustain their immortality. They were the terror of the barnyard. Not even the baby goats would go near them.

Yep, basically fat mallards.

I had one, Elmer (named by old girlfriend) who used to ride around in my Jeep CJ with me.  I remember pulling up to an old, obviously intoxicated man at a stop light with the doors off and the duck in the passenger seat.  Old man glanced over at us, Elmer turned and looked back at him, old guy looked straight ahead, shook his head, and then squalled tires turning right.

Had two more a couple of years later, Marty and Jerry.

Get them when they're tiny, and they think you're the momma duck.  They shit everywhere, but they like to be within eyesight of you.  Take them for walks in the park, and watch for dogs.  When they get fully grown and you get tired of cleaning up duck shit, toss them out on the nearest lake in a nearby park.

So what you're saying is that any survival nut should have at least 1 pet duck to use as a decoy because if SHTF it's so insanely effective it's illegal?

He got a call one day about the Canadian geese shitting all over the parking lot. My dad kind of chuckled at the caller, but the caller said "You don't understand, I'm in a wheelchair and I get shit all over my wheels and hands coming in from my car to the office"

My dad said he understood, and put in an order to a goose removal company.

Pekin will grow out quick as I'm reading. But so will my next round of broad breasted bronze turkeys as well. I like to only run brood lights and do two a day checks on my brooding boxes once per year.

Edit- head shot! Did you recover the bullet? I've recovered two 9mm 124 grain HSTs that have threw and threw a possum. Set the trap on top of a bag of sand with a rash bag covering the sand bag. Then the blood doesn't soak the sand. Then just dig a few inches into the sand and pull the bullet. Tape the sand bag back up to shoot the next possum on. Toss the bloody trash bag.

Update... Got my duck! But I got 4. I found a local feed shop that got some in.

These guys are bad asses. Don't bother trying to fuck with them. Awesome Kung fu ninja duckies. They will pound your ass into tomorrow. Their names are Skipper, Rico, Kowalski, and Dumbass.

Skipper is the leader of this wolf pack. He is wicked paranoid, and runs lead in all covert Ops. He devises tactics and gives orders.

Rico is weapons and explosives specialist. He swallows useful tools, such as dynamite, and regurgitates them when needed, to the point of regularly regurgitating objects and weapon platforms that appear to be too large for him to have swallowed in the first place. He is a psychopath, and has a thing for my wife... I think something might be going on here.

Kowalski is strategist, gadgeteer, brilliant inventor, but the guy cannot read (although he does carry around a clipboard upon which he records drawings of their plans, and an abacus). He also tends to really over-analyze near all situations in a tactical format.

Dumbass is exactly that. He shit on Rico twice tonight. He spilled the water at dinner, and used his salad fork for dinner. But he does have a knack for exploring the inner tastes of French wine, and has a very refined delicate pallet when it comes to imported exotic fish. On a dare, he will do anything. Which is how he got his name.

I acquired a few ducks last year.  They were real friendly and would allow you to walk right up to them.  Once they reached full size, I decided I would eat all of them.  Pretty tasty but I will stick with my meat birds in future.  No real reason why but I prefer a good Cornish cross to a duck.  

Best of luck OP.

Ducks are pretty bad ass. They eat a ton from practicing the karate moves all day. And they have grown fast. Near 8 lbs of solid muscle in two months. They spend most of their time hanging out with the ninja dog. They have created an elite task force. They mostly just shit in the back grass near the fence. They've stayed in the lawn for the moment vs putting them out in the chicken yard. Once the weather cools and we can use the patio again, I'll put them with the other birds.

This is the only picture that currently exists of them. They killed the camera women shortly after this was taken and broadcasted. It is said to be the only picture of a present day ninja ducks. They are seen headed towards the south chicken gate by the chick brooder barn to beg for the chickens nightly table scraps. Who would have thought ninjas liked over ripe tomatoes and peaches so much?

Yes. I'm amazed at how fast they grew. They held the yellow duck fuzz until they were maybe 4 lbs. It was funny seeing a big duck still in duckling fuzz. They are big and lazy now. They don't make much noise for the moment. Only when I go out there and get close to them.

Nice pekin. We also bought four pekin and also two chicken. Unfortunately one of our pekin ducks is attacking one of our chicken so she may soon become duck dinner.

Have you figured out which ones are drakes? The drakes have a weak quack and a curled tail feather.
