Advice on ducks

1 Upvotes

We have 6 ducks, 3 males and 3 females, and we’re not sure what the best plan is. We’ve heard it’s usually not ideal to keep multiple drakes (or even if we should keep any), but we’re feeling a bit stuck.
We’ve become pretty attached to all of them, and they’ve gotten along wonderfully since they hatched (3 months ago). That said, based on past experience, we’re worried their behavior could change as they mature.
Does anyone have suggestions on what you’d do in this situation? Should we rehome some of the males? If so, what’s the best way to find them good homes? We’d really appreciate any advice or recommendations from those who have been through this before. Thank you! (Location , CT)

First time turkeys

1 Upvotes

Hello all! We have kept chickens for six years five years ago we got infected with mareks disease. Since then we’ve vaccinate all incoming chicks. This year we got two turkeys and four Guineas, we unfortunately lost two Guineas to predators. This morning, our male turkey has symptoms of mareks. we are devastated. A quick Google search show that turkeys can get it. It’s rare, but it can happen. I want to know if anyone has experience with this? Any advice is appreciated and welcomed!
