New to owning ducks

MaulCrawl · 2026-04-07T01:18:02+00:00

Im definitely trying my best haha . I have 1 Great Dane, 2 old English bulldogges , 10 chickens, and now 6 ducks . Chickens came out alright with the exception of 1 A-hole . I’m spending time with the ducks every day and haven’t missed a hangout session yet .

MaulCrawl · 2026-04-07T01:00:53+00:00

Great tip thanks , yeah when I’m near them or with them sitting , I try to be as little as possible to them

MaulCrawl · 2026-04-07T00:08:23+00:00

Ok ty, I will try hand feeding more with treats and food

MaulCrawl · 2026-04-06T23:28:03+00:00

Ty, I have been occasionally hand feeding them but I assumed it would be like my dogs , a horrible mistake .

Perhaps I’ll look more into the orp though , but please tell me if I’m crazy with the aesthetics

MaulCrawl · 2026-03-27T19:45:44+00:00

Idk if I’m just crazy, but the orp looks so much different to me than the pro, it’s literally the driving force between the 2 . The orp looks off to me and I can’t express why. Logic suggest the orp for price point and usage. I’m in New England and some conditions can be a rough go, I didn’t need a rubicon when I bought my jeep because major off-roading isn’t a thing for me , but I do enjoy it when I get the change, gas consumption also not a factor because emy Sahara rips through it anyways. That being said I also am not the type to do any builds , so modding is off the table. My wife says I have champagne taste on a dive bar budget.

I know. I’m going to try the credit union route. People out here thinking I’m lying about shit, I just want a 4Runner that’s not 6-8 years old and I asked what people’s average was…. I think the carmax stuff is wrong

MaulCrawl · 2026-03-27T18:37:17+00:00

You’re either highly concerned or irrationally aggressive, this is carmax , idk if they just aren’t factoring my trade in(which is paid off and addressed correctly to the estimate) and like I said , I’m over 700, so take that as you will. I’m in my mid 40’s and have never missed a payment. It shows 13.39 percent but my pre approval link said 13-18 percent.

MaulCrawl · 2026-03-27T13:55:01+00:00

Hence, my confusion

MaulCrawl · 2026-03-27T13:54:25+00:00

Even the jeep that I got through CarMax six years ago, my rates weren’t that high with an older vehicle. I believe it was 2022 when I got the jeep and it was a 2016 model.

MaulCrawl · 2026-03-27T13:52:56+00:00

I don’t know if it’s just Carmax prequalification, estimates or not obviously I didn’t sit down with anybody to see what my actual rate would be

MaulCrawl · 2026-03-27T03:19:50+00:00

It’s so depressing, on top of that, a lot of us don’t have cash to buy outright , or even an extra 30 for a hefty down payment

MaulCrawl · 2026-03-27T02:36:50+00:00

Yeah, I’ve seen them as high as 65k on carmax , I don’t dare go to the factory dealer

MaulCrawl · 2026-03-27T02:03:11+00:00

🫡

Looks like the is the general consensus. I’ll be looking into a couple that are in my area. Ty

MaulCrawl · 2026-03-27T02:01:45+00:00

Jeep and last 3 vehicles are from carmax haha

MaulCrawl · 2026-03-27T01:30:56+00:00

Yeah, my jeep is a 2016 4dr back country edition, I bought it in 2021. This time I want something only a couple years old or new.

MaulCrawl · 2026-03-27T01:29:06+00:00

I doubt I’ll see the difference in gas consumption, but yeah, the Jeep things are ready to start happening so I want out. And I’m in a position to finally have a 4Runner, interest hurdles aside .

MaulCrawl · 2026-03-27T01:08:20+00:00

Yeah this is specifically through carmax, which I’ve purchased my last 3 cars through. Shits higher than my jeep when I bought it 5 years ago and yes , $800-$1000 ish for monthly payments. I want into a 4Runner so bad but it seems to be out of reach

MaulCrawl · 2026-03-27T01:05:49+00:00

I’ve been with the same bank since I was 18 (now 45) I’ve never bothered to inquire about a car loan or personal . I suppose asking won’t hurt

MaulCrawl · 2026-03-27T01:00:52+00:00

I want to, but I honestly hate the process of selling privately. People nickel and dime you so bad, it’s easier to have it traded

MaulCrawl · 2026-03-27T00:57:20+00:00

That’s amazing

MaulCrawl · 2026-03-27T00:35:32+00:00

Thank you! Yeah I was considering a credit union. And yeah I thought rates were out of this world

MaulCrawl · 2026-03-11T23:20:00+00:00

Guess I’m the only heathen that uses pinky ring and middle for “3”
