Thanks for the update. I pray you are able to find good homes for the boys. That's the part that is almost impossible for me. Good luck and the pictures were beautiful. Thanks again.
So sorry, I meant to say Alpaca, I had worked in the yard all day and was exhausted when I wrote that. An Emu is a bird like an Ostrich only a bit smaller, silly me, lol.
Oh My Goodness!!!! I loved it!!!! Thanks so much for sharing. I loved the baby, it is sooooooo cute. Is it a Lama or an Emu. I think that is what they are called. Momma and baby are absolutely precious!!! Did Coconut turn out to be a drake for sure? Probably so but I just had to ask. lol
You can ship Coconut to Ohio, I promise to give him a good home. lol I knew he would be a boy. Glad you are going to find someone to take him. I can never find anyone to want my drakes.
I absolutely love those shots of their beautiful wing spans. You are a great photographer my friend. You take awesome photos!!!! Thanks so much for sharing. Are any of them quacking loudly yet???? I surely hope so. Sorry, I just saw the 7 girls and 3 boys post. I figured mine would be a...
Yes mine have been foolers also before. I would keep praying for Hens and think for sure that they were and then they would start chasing my Hens and show their stuff to prove they were not. It was always a shocker to me. I have no idea what my two little Calls will be at the end of the...
Beautiful pictures, thanks so much for sharing!!!! It is great that you can take them to the lake and they will return to the pen with you. I am amazed they would want to leave the lake! It's beautiful!!!
Great that you can voice sex them so much better now. Out of my two Fawn and White Runners that I got, one was a whistler so it was a drake for sure or that was what I thought. It turned out both are Hens!!!! I have only had drakes whistle in the past so I was shocked when it turned out to...
Thank you so much for the beautiful pictures!!!!! Coconut has that drake looking head but I hope I am wrong. They are all sooooo beautiful. Whenever guessing the sex of mine I would pray for girls but my Mallard throws off mostly males, I got 2 hens out of over 30 ducklings over the years so...
I absolutely loved the pictures of the Little 5. Coconut is so darned cute along with all of the others. Thanks so much for taking the time to share with us. This has been a fun adventure and I have enjoyed it very much. I hope that Coconut is a girl for you.
My Mule Duck weights over 10 pounds but can still fly at least 6 feet in the air, enough to get over my 6' fence. I thought she was too fat but she proved me wrong. My one Mallard from Metzer Farms is bigger than my smaller one. The smaller one is a great flyer but stays around to be with...
I bought two Runner Ducklings last May and the seller told me that the parents could fly very well so I pinioned them. I also have Mallards that I have to clip one wing and even my fat Rouen Ducks can get off of the ground pretty well. My Muscovy Duck I am sure would be able to fly away if I...
A large plastic tote works well for me but I only get two at a time. Our Rural King will sell you two but TSC makes you buy 6. I ordered the two I wanted from Metzer since neither place would ever have Call Ducklings. Good luck on talking him into it. I purchase and then send pictures back...
I am anxious to see Coconut Cream. Your babies are soooo beautiful. This whole adventure has made me end up ordering two Call Ducklings from Metzer Farms and they will be shipped on March 25th while I am on Spring Break. I can't wait to get them. Thanks so much for the pictures and I am...
Thank you so much for the fun of the hatch. My little Black East Indies Duck here in Ohio that I was going to buy has not made it. It's bill was deformed so it died shortly before hatching. I will be by later today to pick up Coconut, lol. I WISH!!!!! This was a lot of fun so thanks for...
