    My drake is acting broody 😆

    Before anyone asks, yes, he is a drake, no doubt about it. Most drakes, from what I hear, will simply hang out near the nest while his hen does her thing. Some will stand guard over the nest, and very rarely, drakes will actually sit on the nest themselves. My drake has gone a little beyond the...

    Wonky duck stance

    This is Dessa, short for Iridessa. She is the one closest to the camera standing awkwardly. The stance she is in is her default and she is constantly walking like this or with her head to the ground when foraging. Now, she hasn't always walked like this. As a duckling, she walked like a totally...

    Is this a Blue-Swedish/Mallard Hybrid?

    We lost our "Squeaky"-duck to a predator in early January. She was a feral escape that walked cross-country onto our place one afternoon. Initially very skittish, but we became close friends and she loved to race me and our kayak around the pond. She was small-to-medium in size, and not heavy...
