    Hiding duck

    I dunno, I guess I'm just being dumb. What else could it be? I haven't seen any of this behavior, but it doesn't mean it's not happening

    Hiding duck

    Yeah, I guess. I have four call Drake's and 8 girls. The boys have never been rough, they're so small, and it's not really the time of year for this, is it?

    My duck got into some lead paint. We've have problems before and had one necropsied at the vet school and she came up positive. We cleaned the area, but we have a sick one again. Partial paralysis and bright green diarrhea. She's inside. The rest are locked up in their pen. Can't find anyone to...

    What breed is this,?

    Oops. I was wondering. I know boys will pick in other boys, but I have male calls, and the runners leave them alone. Huh, the calls must be the cool kids. No wonder no eggs 😂
