Do you keep livestock? Having any problems? Want to talk about it, whether it be sheep, goats, chickens, pigs, bees or llamas, here is your place to discuss.

Cool, what do you plan to do with them?
Will they ultimately be for the table?

They are a belated birthday gift for my daughter - who had visions of walking around the garden with her little brood of cute ducklings following her around - this vision only lasts while they are cute and yellow and fluffy.

So after that - they become table birds - and really are the gift that keeps on giving as she loves duck meat! :cheers:
