I don't want to keep him as a pet, just long enough for my daughter to observe him (her? Haven't looked that close yet) for a couple days. I'd like mouse to be comfortable in the mean time. It was fleeing a rained out field and may have been played with by a cat, and was crossing the road...

Hiya there. We have a MASSIVE coyote problem. Thus far we have been able to avoid any casualties, but my nights are getting a little too exciting for my liking. Being ready to leap out of bed when the pack gets too close to go a 'yote chasin isn't really my idea of restful sleep. I woke up...

Her Ladyship Mud Duck has been acting WEIRD. At first I thought she was poisoned, then I realized she was sitting a nest. AMAZING! Will wonders never cease. I didn't think she'd sit. Now she's acting like an utter weirdo though, puffing up at me and barking with her beak wide open whenever...

Hello there what's this? Anything better back here? I think... just a little farther and... OH!!! Oomph!!! Augh!!! YIKES! Pthooey! Not quite what I had in mind. and this is why Swedish Ducks are not the fowl of choice for buccaneers and pirates. Pastor...

New game of the century. My ducks are hand fed at least once a day when I go out to deal with other animals. I go through their pen on the way so I stop to chat. I've discovered something very entertaining. My ducks are very outgoing, so I don't know if this would work with ducks that...

Doubles- two of them together this morning, bout the same age, german shepherd sized, healthy. We're on an ag belt, so we have a lot of local fauna, deer, jack rabbits, quail, turkeys, even a big cat every now and again. A couple years back we had some juvenile coyotes who passed our...
