Mare's Illegal Cute-ness (Call Duck) Chat Thread!!

[Nabiki]

Me, too. I'm lurking around, telling myself "NO DUCKS!" and yet they're so cute. And so small. How much trouble could they possibly be?

No idea. I'm going to find out. I'm hoping that my atrium pond is done by the time they hatch, but I'll still have some time since I'm not going to throw ducklings into a pond regardless. Can't have them getting waterlogged and chilled before they're ready to swim.

I already have twelve normal sized ducks. But then I see calls and absolutely loose my crap. If tractor supply ever decided to sell sexed female calls I guarantee I would have ZERO self control and come home with at least four.

Well if you'd asked me 2 days ago, I'd have said zero. Now with the prolapse....

How’s your girl doing by the way? I’ve been thinking about her, but haven’t popped into that thread in a bit

I would get ducks in a heartbeat if it didn't mean I has to build ANOTHER pen for them, plus a pond. And having gamefowl means I've already got plenty of pens

Hope your call girl is doing better, it does look like poop to me too, but it could very well be necrotic tissue. Hope she pulls through

Would selection for smaller/narrower eggs help prevent that?

Not to twist your arm or anything but my calls are currently in with pheasants

My 4 little drakes are all in with my big Hens and my one Mallard/Rouen Drake and all is well so far. They think they are kings of the Duck Pen. lol
