Where are you in the NW? I'm just NE of Seattle and I average about 200 Mallards on my pond each day. You're welcome to them. They just eat all the food for the chickens.
Cyril, I'm just out of Portland....Wish I was closer and I'd take you up on it...If you get a chance, send some South.

When they start getting too bold, we reach down and grab one or two for dinner. Otherwise we just try to scare them off. There were years past when we had to be getting close to 1000 in at a time and they would litterally be grabbing the feed from under our feet while we were putting it out. Trying to keep our chickens, geese, peacocks, and swans fed was getting ridiculess. Since things have grown up over the years and we now have a housing development behind us and an elementary school across from us, shooting isn't really an option any more. But I figure that if I can grab them by hand, they are fair game!

So. Colorado - Having a heat wave. Only got down to 7 last night. In that storm last week we bottomed out at minus 16 - not including wind chill. When you threw in the 50-60 MPH winds, it flat got COLD (-60 windchill?). If anyone has a little Global Warming to spare, I could sure use some.

Should be on it's way. We've warmed up here on the west coast.
