Hello All! Pretty sick of winter at this point. Dislike how my birds go into fear mode with me now that I don't spend a lot of time outside with them. I am just waiting for my gander to raise h#ll again with spring SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWLY creeping up. So far everyone is healthy with the temps...
We plan to stay home tonight too. When I get home from work I will be putting the birds to bed and shutting the hut doors. The geese have been bedding with the ducks for some reason. Everyone seems ok with it. :idunno
I have a wild rabbit hanging around the birds now. I shall call it Mr Bun...
I have a wild bunny hanging with the ducks/geese during the day. Nobody seems to mind but I am not sure the duck/goose food is healthy for the bunny. Not that I want to buy rabbit food and guessing that would not be good for the ducks/geese- but I would. Maybe just some hay would be ok to put...
Hello All! Had a good one a few days ago.
Our garage sink drains into a 5 gallon bucket. I fill a 5 gallon bucket from the faucet to carry to the ducks/geese. I started the water and put my shoes on to leave for work...and left for work. :barnie Mind you it is pretty cold here about 0-10 deg...
Merry Christmas! Hope everyone had a good Holiday.
Woke up this morning to the huts being drifted in- waist high drifts. I really need to use a snow fence next year. Took me well over an hour to shovel them out and I used the snowblower over the grass for a path. I shoveled last night about...
I had the same issue last year with the bucket type. I just use the dog bowl type- but this weekend around the rim- it did freeze a little but not like the bucket type. I just think the warm part of the bucket is more towards the bottom. :idunno
After this weekend I am just glad they had...
My ducks do not want anything to do with being picked up.
My male goose is a big boy and I have grabbed him a time or two when he isn't being very nice. My female does not let me near her. Not sure I could catch her without a net.
I did have an African Male Goose. He was snuggly as a...
I have had my ducks for 1.5 years. Only one passed suddenly. I have a gander who is like 4 years old. He is a MEAN SOB in spring but he is my favorite so he stays. His wife is 1.5 and is fine- just bossy.
It is very cold here with a ton of snow so the goal for the next few months is fresh...
Morning. How is everyone handling the snow?
I gave up on the snow in the duck/goose huts. I am just going to have to deal with it and fix the issue on a warmer day or be ready next winter. I opened the duck hut this morning after I spent 2 hours clearing the driveway and paths to the huts and...
Yet another "talent" of mine...If I start something- I get side tracked 50 times before the first thing ever gets done. It all gets done- just takes me longer and its a hot mess until then.
Example- I need to deep clean the kitchen, hey this cupboard is messy I should clean this- and wait...
"I just don't pay attention".....yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah...:lol:
My hubs is shocked on how much I don't pay attention to things. And how I can block things out. I tell him its a talent really..
I am almost 50 and let me tell you, the last couple years have gotten BAD!! But that's another topic on another forum. :lau
I misplace EVERYTHING. Sometimes I find it and sometimes it is lost forever. :idunno
