    Ever have an "I'm an idiot" moment?

    Yet another "talent" of mine...If I start something- I get side tracked 50 times before the first thing ever gets done. It all gets done- just takes me longer and its a hot mess until then. Example- I need to deep clean the kitchen, hey this cupboard is messy I should clean this- and wait...

    I am almost 50 and let me tell you, the last couple years have gotten BAD!! But that's another topic on another forum. :lau I misplace EVERYTHING. Sometimes I find it and sometimes it is lost forever. :idunno Renee

    Ever have an "I'm an idiot" moment?

    We have had a long, warm fall. Spoiled some might say. The past week it all went down hill. I was kind of shocked she did that. She is the "party girl" of the 5 girls and 1 boy. Loud, proud and always drunk on mealworms. Never seemed interested in making a nest ALL year. She proved me SO...

    My heart BROKE having to take 10 eggs away from her...TEN. 💔 She had a beautiful little nest made in tall grass and snow. The eggs were VERY warm and you could smell them. Maybe next spring girlie girl. First pic you can just barely see her little body in all the grass. Second pic is the...

    Ever have an "I'm an idiot" moment?

    Not going to lie, it's cold here. (7 deg this morning). The past 4 nights I have had ONE duck refusing to go in the hut at night. She stays in the tree line in brush. Comes out in the morning- happy as a clam. Quacks, greets/eats. Same ol' girl. It bothers me she stays in the tree line at night...

    Duck Poop Piling Up?

    I am in Wisconsin...northcentral. It gets COLD here...stretches of -30 deg F in late January. In summer, my hut is on 8-10" of gravel and I spray off the rocks. They free range all day when dry out. Only in their hut at night. This is my second year with them and I have noticed a couple spots in...

    Wisconsin "Cheeseheads"

    Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving. We stayed home- did some work outside and made our own TG dinner. Was totally defeated this week. I THOUGHT I was ready for the first snow fall. Had the huts all clean with fresh straw, ready for the winds and cold. Ducks/Geese stay outside during the day...

    I have some yeast stuff left over from when they were ducklings/goslings. Do you mean for the niacin? Their food has it in. Can they get too much if I sprinkle some on and will it be ok for the geese? They all eat from the same food bowls.

    Wisconsin "Cheeseheads"

    Hope everyone had a good weekend. We were outside most of the weekend. Ducks/geese are loving the nice weather- I let them out in the yard the second half of the day. I need to quit doing that, with the grass dying off and no rain/snow the grass is looking rough with them eating, stomping and...

    OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO look at that nifty thing!!! I may have to look into those. Don't the heated dog bowls have a thermostat thing in them? I think mine do...but still. Would be handy to have. I am ready for the heat wave!! I think we are starting our Christmas lights this weekend. Not turning...

    Wisconsin Winter, Ducks, and Water

    I am in northcentral WI and this is my second winter with 5 ducks and 2 geese. I do not have a pond. I use rubber tubs and heated dog bowls. Just today tho...it is about 34 deg. I filled their little kiddie pool at lunch. They LOVED it. They also use the rubber tubs and heated dog bowls like...

    I think we all could go round and round about the govt and how they or even the public handles things. This country is FAR from "free". How is everyone liking the fresh snow fall? I can personally say, I wasn't ready. I came home from bumming yesterday and had a little flock of sad faces...

    Just how noisy are geese?

    I have one male and one female. My female is fairly quiet but when the male HONKS....the neighbor can hear him a literal mile away. He only HONKS when someone pulls in the driveway, when I just go outside and he is excited, when a hawk flies over, when the ducks aren't doing what he wants, when...
