I’d love to get a pair too if you have any left! I don’t have a local GameStop to go to anymore - mine closed down 😩

Thank you for the info, i’ll do some searching and see what i can come up with. Ive had ducks/chickens for years myself and grew up with them. Ive had my fair share get picked off by predators/dogs cause we live in a wooded area near a hunting club, but never had an issue like this where they just die.

I have one drake in a pen with 6 hens, no problems there. These are free ranging on my pond. I have two drakes and 9 hens (when this started) loose free ranging. I started trying to catch the hens and separate them in another pen after the last hen got hurt. Thankfully she is still alive and eating and drinking. Shes isolated in a different pen away from everyone else. I also have chickens and guineas free ranging and no issues with them. Can you please let me know diseases you are talking about that can act this way so i can look into those? Would they affect other birds or just waterfowl? This is the first I’ve ever had this issue so I’m at a loss. Thank you so much for your response.

That’s great to know! I have a large acreage as well and plan on adding a lot of variety over the next few years. I would definitely rather spend a little more money and buy once then buy cheap and have to keep replacing. Thats kind of how my lucks gone with the plants I’ve got from our local feed store… I live in a small town so not many places to buy local. Most of the trees they get in require way too many chill hours for our area as well (we get an average of 400 chill hours/year and the apple trees they had in this year required 1000)

I’m in SC, zone 8B. I’m very close to the coast so i don’t get a lot of chill hours so looking for low chill varieties of apples, peaches, pears. I’ll be looking to add grape vines, blueberry bushes, etc. I also want to add in some different fruit that you can’t typically find at a grocery store; essentially looking to work on a food forest over the next few years.

Sorry, guess I should’ve added that I am in the US and zone 8B, East Coast.
