Oh, thanks so much for the ID! I tried to do some research but the information I could find on goose breeds was crazy jumbled and sometimes contradictory, and most of the pictures aren't well labeled I love him no matter what he is, but it's nice to have a better idea! Also, thanks for the...

Oh, perfect! I'll just get the white ones then

You know, I was thinking about putting some solar powered lights in there... is there a particular color that's better for them? I don't want it to keep them up all night or stress their systems! We're adopted ours from a nearby farm animals sanctuary! They told us he's a male Greylag, but...

They did eventually go in the new house. I didn't see it happen, but the food's gone and there's duck poop in the bedding, so I figure that's a pretty good sign We got them a bodyguard today as well! They were scared out of their pants for about twenty minutes, but then they settled down...

Added some bedding today; the same white flakes I used in all their brooders. It was somehow EVEN SCARIER, and they just stood in the doorway fretting for five minutes

[Video] We got a new house for the flock (a beautiful 8'x10' resin shed with windows and a skylight) and spent 4 straight days putting in a nice level cinder blocks foundation with stairs, then assembling the shed on top of that, then renetting the whole pen overhead. Of course, the ducks are...

So Gwaine and Weyoun are totally sitting on fake eggs all day long (they each have their own nest with 2 fakes in it), and I'm starting to feel super bad for them. They still come out for food and water, including a stop at the splash pan (apparently they get first dibs when I refill it) and...

Update: Caught 'em in the act! Gwaine'says nest is more built up, but Weyoun is sitting on the one right across from it, and they're just hanging out gossiping with eachother, sitting on ceramic eggs!

Uuuggggghhhhh! All my girls started waiting until they were let out of the pen in the morning to lay their eggs around the yard, so I got some ceramic eggs to try to get the back to laying in their usual nests I'm their house. Now, Gwaine has apparently gone broody, and is spending a lot of her...

Gwaine got herself a little floof moustache today

Surprise!

Have you tried the rehoming threads? You might find someone there

Such a nice sunny day for duck business~♡

When mine were still living in the brooder, I took them out by hand for swim or outdoor play time in a little exercise pen, then picked them up again to bring them inside. The picking up process never got less offensive; they always ran and fussed. I still did it, because exercise and swim time...

This came across my Facebook page today and I thought it was adorable!

Gwaine is jammin'

I did think that! I'm still sorry for your loss, but I'm glad you've had time to heal. I wonder if a single runner would get all cocky because they're taller than everyone else? But then can't follow through with it because they're comparatively easy to tip over, so the other ducks just say...

Oh no! I'm so sorry :(

It happened with mine too, when I first put the babies out with the bigguns. Not only that, but the whole flock got all flighty for a while after the meeting! Like the babies lowered the IQ of the whole group and they wouldn't come when I called them anymore! They settled back down after a...

I've got about 1.5 acres of yard, a flower garden, a vegetable garden, and a 10-tree fruit orchard, and let me tell you, you aren't going to BELIEVE the difference the ducks make! Before we got ours, it was unending slugs and snails all spring through fall, and there were bugs on/in more fruits...
