Thanks! They will come right up and eat your shoe laces, but they aren't lap ducks. Kinda frustrating. It's like a sweet and friendly dog/cat that you SWEAR is asking to be picked up but as soon as you try, all hell breaks loose. Lol. If you lay down they'll climb all over you but since duck and...

As its 7:45 and the light isn't cooperating. I put a chrome filter on the pics and made them as light as I could and still show a little of his color. His tail end is what gets me, and it's just not the same through a camera lens. But then, I don't think I'll ever be a professional photog...

THANKS EVERYBODY! Yes, the drakes look like a mallard that's been snowed on. Lol. All of their colored feathers are irridescent. His dark tail is actually a dark navy! We got them from a feed store! I don't know how correct they are, but I figured I'd see if any of the 4-H kids wanted some if we...

Yep, @Juliebird, I do have WH. Good memory! @Debs Flock I triiiied to get some pics last night but between the sun going down and them chasing bugs, I didn't get very clear ones. lol Taking his bodyguard job very seriously!

Oh yeah! The other day, I went to do the bedding turn and Tater was in the coop. I raised the lid and we both were startled. Lol. He scooted out and the whole time I worked, he talked to me like he was not pleased! As soon as I was done, like walked to hang the rake up, lid of coop still raised...

Thanks Amiga! I usually turn the straw then put new on top, but as an old horse person, that creeps me out. Lol. I actually was able to take the top layer off, turn it and get anything else out that needed to go. I stayed away from the nest so I wouldn't turn any yolk covered straw into the...

By take it all out, I mean the bedding. Lol.

Question about a hen laying eggs.... It's Tot's first time to lay eggs. She's been like clockwork and has made a sweet little nest. She and Tater have become a bonded pair and he has turned out to be a complete gentleman. She's gone from Tot the Snot, to a chilled out sweetheart. This morning I...

Thank you ma'am!

Wow! What a handsome boy!! Can y'all point me in the right direction...? Loaded question, eh? Anyway, Tot has laid 3 eggs now! Woo hoo! Annnnd, oh shoot. I'd like to just let them be and see what happens. The first was laid in a sweet little nest she made, before she proceeded to poop all...

Random question.... What are my ducks sassing me about when they are walking away from me, but bob their head back towards me? They look like they dropped something and have looked back at it, but that stupid lady keeps herding us, so we can't get it!!!! It's a quick motion, like the straight...

Here's my uncooperative hooligans. There's a leak in the hose and when they hear the faucet turn, they come RUNNING across the yard. Time for a new hose.... They've destroyed that particular spot, but hey, not my fault! I wanted one of the hoses that crinkles up when you turn the water...

So now I realize I should've shown their legs better. The white one is wider and has thicker legs, but isn't huge. That's why I included one with mom. Both babies are actually the same size. The brown one is built more like a mallard. We've been calling the brown one Jersey because her eyes...

As much as I hate to, I'm gonna step up and take one for the team... I'll be the first to post pics after @wobbles! THOSE ARE AWESOME! Anyhoo... Nobody was cooperating so I don't feel as bad. Lol. These are my neighbors mallard mutt/Muscovy cross ducklings. They were born June 8. It's killing...

I really am going to put the phone down and go to bed now. Really. Swear. Cross my heart... I think having a 13 yr old daughter is starting to run off on me. Lol. NIGHT!

I got in trouble for being ugly to him.

DANG IT!!!!! I took so long to type my reply, I didn't see that he'd opened up a new account!!! Must. Walk. Away. Must. Walk. Away. Must. Walk. Away. That's not a fist bump, it's a fist to the face. Must. Go. To. Bed.

My goofy ducks won't eat watermelon?!! More for me though. Heh heh. Just an FYI, I found an a.maz.ing mojoito fruit salad on Pinterest. Lime juice, little powdered sugar and tons of mint, watermelon, blueberries and strawberries.... Oh! My! GOSH! On another note, the dill weed kid with the...

@The Raw Mama please don't think I'm trying to be insensitive to your poor ducks! Id isn't mean to derail you getting help. I'm so sorry that you lost one of your ducklings! I truly hope the solution is an easy fix like too hot or too cold. Thinking about you and the rest of your family.

Kinda mind blown here. Ok @duck213, let's take legal/illegal off the table. Shall we look at moral/immoral? How about the fact that entire wild flocks have been wiped out in some areas when ducks were dumped and new viral strains were introduced into wild populations. Populations that had no...
