My family lives on our multi-generational homestead with our 3 cats, 2 dogs, 4 dairy goats, rabbit, peahen, turkeys, chickens, 25 geese, and 120 ducks. Each year we hatch, brood, and sell a couple hundred baby birds. We have been raising waterfowl for more than a decade and love our birds! I'd love to share my love of birds with you, too!Reviews
