    Nyrunner. In case you didn't read the thread that didn't happen. And by the way, I'm a Fl naturalist that has spent most of my life trying to protect Fl from invasives. We rescued them from dogs in the wild and if they would have made it I would have taken them to a friends private pond with...

    I can say that they lasted longer than they would have had we not rescued them and gave them a happy life with good food for a couple of weeks.

    Wanting Indian Runners

    There are many lakes here with many ducks, including urban lakes with domestic duck populations. The city itself cares for them. And the muscovies were rescued from a dog where their mother was foraging in a roadside ditch. There are many wild muscovies here in Florida. Once they are grown and...

    Duck vs chicken eggs

    My boyfriend gets heartburn fron chicken eggs. I've read that duck eggs are more alkaline than chicken eggs, that chicken eggs are quite acidic. Does anyone know if eating duck eggs will produce less heartburn? He loves eggs, I'd hate for him to have to give them up. Thanks.
