Oh okay. Yes, I'm very thankful he is a boy for your sake. He does seem to do excellently, from videos I couldn't see any side effects! That's great he has a wonderful family.
Wow he must have a big frame then! His wings look big, it's possible he could fly a little! Either way he is adorable, even though I'm usually not a fan of crested ducks.
Oh okay! Drakes are so busy keeping up with the hens they don't seem to be able to put on any weight! But Oliver is a runner and Nyasa is a Mallard, so they couldn't get too big anyway.
No probably not, but Dory is first in line for everything, she pushes everyone from the water dish, from the feed dish, the best spot to sleep, etc.. She's not the one who leads them around the yard though. Allie must be a big girl!
In my flock my hen Dory is the alpha, although Oliver generally leads the flock around. Dory makes sure no one eats treats until she is done!
Okay thank you!! It certainly looks like a great system!
Nyasa is a boy. Yeah, the wings definitely hit the water hard to take off like that! I haven't seen any of them do a running start on water, we don't have a big enough pond.
Your ducks are only occasionally normal? That's weird to see her in a tree, she must think she is a wood duck! My mallards land on buildings all the time, but never trees. Cobra must have just taken a bath, my ducks do that after swimming.
