Just a pic of my snuggle bug Quincy, a Rouen drake. Loves (still) to sit on my shoulder and try to hide under my hair!

That is a ducky hug. Since they don't have arms they use their necks/heads. And they do get a bit spassy around 2-3 weeks of age, their teenage years. But after, as long as u hold their footsies in Ur palm or arm when you pick them up they're alright. At least mine don't fuss that much, and we...

Id say it doesn't really matter the breed of the duck. Some just like to get held and cuddled, others don't. Just like us people! Now the non-flying ducks are usually afraid of heights that why they go crazy lifting/picking up as they don't know what to make of it. Again, just like for us with...

I'd say the lower pic the toe all on the left down looks like one, but again try the Epsom salt soak for a few days and see if it does go away. The top one is more like the heel the ducks walk on and don't think is "bumbly". Yes, I had a bad one on one ducks foot too but would try to avoid...

That is a very BIG bumble! So yet, soak it and maybe try the iodine/sugar pack of u try to avoid doing surgery. Pack that on it, wrap it good and continue to give her foot a bath twice a day. See how it goes, if it will slowly shrink. If not, you do have to get it out as there might be some...

We had pheasants and chickens first. Then SO said that he'll get more chickens and I warned him if he did, I'd get ducks, as I wanted them all my life. He got chickens, I went and got me ducks. And he went from absolutely not liking them to loving them more than all the other birds we have...

Ducks need a water bucket deep enough for them to dunk their heads in to ran eyes and nostrils. There are several homemade ideas (cutting a hole in an empty ice cream or butter tub) that will reduce the mess and water waste but you will never have a clean coop with ducks! Lol. They are not...

Jim, I know they can take a bath at any temp. It's just that it's ME who has to fill the buckets in the house (IF the water lines are not frozen), carry them across half the yard and fill the kiddie pools. And with having about 60-65 waterfowl to bathe it is a skating rink, no matter what u do...

Morning everyone! And I'm gonna add my congrats and happy birthdays (even though they're late by now) as well! Not much new here besides yet another (working) pellet stove, lots of lost sleep, a trip to Minocqua with sclark to pick up some chickens and ducks from CL. He said he supposedly had...

lol. We got the stove still brand new on the pallet, manual and pipes with it. I got all the info, but the manual is not very well written in how to set it up the way we want it and it's our first time ever having to operate/owning one. Plus, we got some spare parts with it too (different burn...

Brrr morning to everyone! A "toasty" -9 with windchill of -28 here right now. Not too thrilled to go outside and do chores but someone's gotta do it. Went to Hutchinson swap yesterday. Came into town and NOT A SINGLE SIGN!!! Anywhere, but right after you found the fairgrounds tucked in behind...

Brrrr. Still way too cold up here. Never made it to the positives today, but even in the sunshine stayed around -6 (at its "warmest"!). Now we're already at -14 again and a lot of night to go yet. Gonna be another colder one than they forecasted! Warmest is supposed to be Friday at +21!!! Before...

Freezing morning all... Was only supposed to go down to -8 last night but now, at almost 9am, we still have -15 with a wind chill of -28!!! Brrrr. All worried out my babies so heading back a day earlier. And sure glad we got at least a bit of warmth for them during the night! Gosh I'm gonna be...

Hope this helps a bit. And I'm sure u can find more online. If u have a trail cam, set it up and u know for sure what it is!

First, I rarely use my horn when it comes to roundabouts. I know there are terrified and scared people out there who rarely know if they should get into that weird new thing or rather stop and turn around to avoid it altogether. BUT, even I had to learn it, while trying to figure out how to...

Snowflakey morning everybody! I don't know but I think round about a are FUUUN! Well, but I also grew up with them, so even a 3- or 4lane round about doesn't scare me. It's more the people that can't decide if they should let other drivers in or take their right-of-way while crawling with...

That's unfortunately all you can do when you have Bobcats around. Set out a trap with chicken in it and wait til it comes and gets it. You're not allowed to shoot it as it is endangered on the DNR list. But you could ask them and they will come and set a trap and relocate it then. We had an...

Good snowy morning all! All is back to the usual normal here, dog recovered and starting to eat solid foods again (including stuff he can find in the fire pit), the chickens hide in the barn and the ducks quack away, still giving me a dozen a day, while the geese patrol the driveway. No eggs...

Do NOT put her in the dirt! Once she starts scratching (and she will for sure) the dirt will get into her wound and WILL cause infection! Plus, the sunshine and movement make her more lively (for the lack of a better word) where she should rest, calmly, and heal in peace. This will happen...

Sorry to hear bout Ur duckies bl4! I know it would make me angry to find any of my birds killed like that. And when you're ready for new duckies, or hatching eggs, you can always let me know...!
