so i have 7 ducks, 6 female & 1 male. they free range during the day & go in the coop at night. they’re happy & thriving. a local feed store posted someone selling ducks. i ended up getting 3, 2 females and 1 male. i picked them up & had them in a tote in my suv. they smelled SO BAD. like my daughter & i were gagging it was so horrible. if i hadn’t have paid for them i would’ve left them on the side of the road😭my ducks have never smelled like that, even when they weren’t free ranging. is something wrong with them? he said he had 45 ducks which is why he was selling some. they were pretty dirty. i currently have them in a separate pen with a pool & hopes that a good swim will help😭😭
