I’m so so sorry! I started reading and replying before I even got to the end of your thread. Little Peanut just was too cute and thank you so much for sharing her with us.
So cute! Of course your not crazy! And your not the only one. All animals want to be loved! My 2 Swedish ducks come in the house all the time, they do have diapers if they hang out for a long time. Usually it’s just in the winter on a cold cold day.
Check out Tyrant Farms. I follow them on...
My little black Swedish has been nesting for almost 2 months now. She is overbred a bit and had egg issues and reproductive tract infections in the past so she no longer lays. Shes been so moody! Today I finally separated them (I just have a male and female), and blocked her nest. They are not...
Oh thank you! Ya she seems fine, has been on it all day with no trouble. In fact, she’s currently chasing the wild mallards all over the yard lol. I’m about to go out and put them to bed which will ruin all the fun
Hi All!
My Swedish Duck Quackers somehow ripped her dew claw off! Just the claw on the end. It was bleeding a bit and I washed it in soapy water, then dried it and put super glue on it. It was still oozing a tiny bit of blood so I pressed a tiny piece of clean paper towel on it and it glued on...
I always heard that uncooked rice causes songbirds to explode internally, which is why we pelt brides with birdseed. Now that I think about it, it does seem rather suspect. However I think the flavor and texture of cooked oats and rice is much nicer!
My little duck Quackers let’s me hold her and pet her. She likes her head and bill petted. Cheese, my drake likes to be near me and sometimes he will sidle over and lean on my leg but every time I try and hold him he acts embarrassed and slowly struggles out of my arms.
Sometimes in the winter...
Omg what a disturbing picture the author painted! Now I’m haunted by all the poor drakes out there with their penises stuck to icy ponds. My drake is the sweetest and he doesn’t overuse his goods so hopefully I will never deal with this!
I’ve used Mother Goose diapers, they’re out of South Dakota I believe, about 30 dollars each. Maybe buy one and make a pattern from it? Also, check out Tyrant Farms blog. They use Party Fowl and Sami sews.
I found worms swimming in my pond! I was hoping someone could tell me if I need to worry about this, these worms look like parasites.
Heres some background info, I have a little 55 gallon pond, it’s unfiltered and I empty it on the trees each week and refill it. My 2 ducks play in it everyday...
