so very sorry for your loss. They're such little troopers. It always breaks my heart when we can't fix them .

Do you know what caused the death of the other 2? I only ask b/c you wouldn't want to bring in a new duck if there's a chance of illness that caused the loss of the other 2. Do you have other ducks (or chickens or "other" bird) that he could hang with until you raise new ones?

Hey - what's all that green stuff on the ground?!?! LOL I've only seen mounds of white for so long I've forgotten what's underneath! Totally jealous of you're sunshiney happiness!

I had gotten mine in mid-june and they were laying by early December. I remember one of them actually hid and tried sitting a next late Dec/early Jan, right in the middle of our first snowstorm that year. Took hours to find her all covered in a 1/2 inch of snow and shivering!

Mine lay sometime before 5am - that's as early as I'm getting up so I doubt I'll be able to pinpoint it down any more accurately then that!

Kate - I've never seen lavendar/lilac calls before. Actually, the only lavender/lilac bird I've seen is holderreads american lavender geese - in pics only! Do you have any other pics of your lavender ducks, maybe in some natural light? I'm guessing pics don't do these birds justice - it seems...

When my rouen was injured she let me pick her up and hold her and take care of her injuries. Once she started to heal she let me know that she was all set with the holding and touching portion of the program! She was quick to let me know she wanted to be back outside too - she would waddle over...
