Muscovy Duck Tough Love :)

It's been a while and even now I have to remind him at times I am not one of his girls. He is very smart though and mostly likes to bite my dh lol {opie thinks of my dh as another drake] So I am working on getting my dh to do the same as I did instead of pushing him away etc. It's funny DH say's when it's just him and Opie he is sweet to him too but if I come out Opie starts messing with DH biting him flaring his wings out. Yep he really thinks DH is another drake.

Another thing that really helped my drake was when he turned 2 months old we went and got him 3 female scovy's of his very own. It really isn't a good idea to raise a drake on his own they need that female ducks to release some of the pent up hormones that are racing through their bodies. He now has 6 females so he is very busy. Are you sure Ralphy is a drake? because females can become bity too.

Oh my yes Opie loves for me to hug and smooch on him. especially when Mating season is over. He gets enough smooching when that is going on. lol
