I let my ducks free range. I only really have some chickens in permanent housing to ensure eggs but I'm gonna let most of them free. It's been doing great for pest control because we got a crazy stink bug problem in this area. Stink bugs drink pesticide out of shot glasses and they have a cigarette hanging from their mouth and child support to pay. They're gangster bugs and just don't die. But the ducks eat them and that's so great. Get some ducks. I'm telling ya that it will help your homestead tremendously. I've noticed a decline in stink bugs.

Freaking stink bugs just come marching in like Oba Femi with that strut walk. Indestructible. Horrible creatures. They just don’t die. They’re like Viltrumites.
Do you eat the ducks or use? If so have you noticed a difference in the meat?
In curious because I recently spoke to a crawfish farm owner after helping with some research on blue winged teal ducks on his land. He said any ducks that were harvested in previous years usually had a large quantity of stink bug remains in their crops had the foulest meat he’s ever tasted or smelled.
Is that…Mallard Luther King?
Hell of a nice set-up you got there! Just happy lil duckies vacuuming up all the bugs, top notch 😁
