    Please help! Could anyone give our little Rounder a forever home?

    We're in Burnet. I had a doctor's appointment in Temple yesterday! Wish we could have made connections. Maybe someone will be able to take her. I sure hope so.

    Please help! Could anyone give our little Rounder a forever home?

    Some of you may have read about Rounder, the little blind Pekin that I rescued as a baby about three months ago. She is all grown up now, a healthy and beautiful girl, and her two little friends are ready to join the other creek ducks. I really need to rehome Rounder, though. Our little back...

    Smart creek duck! Check out Bibby's new nest (pics)

    Bibby, one of our little creek ducks had hidden a nest in the grass on the banks of the creek. After sitting on her eggs over two weeks, someone or something broke her up. She now seems to have discovered a people and predator safe nest. They may turn out to be well done before she hatches...

    Nettie, are you out there? Are you okay?

    Yeah, I know. I really wanted the leash, too, but I had begun to suspect that I might not get it when it was taking so long, and they were "being worked on." According to Joe, they had never been started.

    Nettie, are you out there? Are you okay?

    I had ordered a walking leash and harness for my little blind Rounder in late June and was told it would be in the July 18th batch. That date came and went, and she kept posting on Facebook that she was very busy, etc. Finally, on Wednesday, after several emails and attempts to find out the...

    Ducky laugh out loud moment!

    I was cleaning our refrigerator today, so I took the entire bin of ice cubes and dumped them in the kiddie pool for our girls, thinking it would bring the temperature down and they would enjoy the cooler water. Before I had walked away from the pool, all three of them were over there grabbing...

    Three Lucky Ducks!

    And now there are three! Rounder, the little blind Pekin, is now fully grown, as is his friend, Susie, the little Mallard with one angel wing. They have been joined by Dot, the only remaining duckling from Plume's extended hatch. They are all special needs ducks, to some extent, but they're...

    What do we do now?

    Plume, one of our little creek ducks, has a nest right below our house in some Asian Jasmine. She started hatching July 5, which I had marked as her due date. She hatched two babies that day, two the next, and one the next. We took the babies, and she persists on staying on the nest. It has...

    Duck dilemma- what do we do?

    Apparently two to three days. She is a creek duck who comes up to eat from our feeders, and I had noticed she had started sitting, and I marked her time to hatch as July 5. The morning of July 5, she had two fully dried, fluffy babies. The other two didn't make their appearance until today...

    Duck dilemma- what do we do?

    Plume, one of our little creek ducks, hatched two beautiful little Pekin babies Tuesday. They came off the nest by themselves to feed and water in our little alley right behind our house, but Plume kept going back to the nest. I told our neighbor that we needed to clean out the unhatched eggs...

    New Creek Babies - Plume, our suvivor duck hatches (pic)

    Plume, on of our backyard creek survivors, hatched two babies today. She had 17 eggs, but the weather has been so unbearably hot (over 100 for days), coupled with searing drought, that it is amazing that she was able to hatch any at all. She has remained on the nest all day, apparently waiting...

    Feed and water at night?

    My two little ladies are now about two months old, and up to now, I have been keeping food and water out for them 24 hours a day, including in their coop at night. I would really like to begin just feeding them twice a day, morning and evening, and having water out for them during the day, plus...

    What kind of duck is Bibby? (pics)

    Well, as I said, we are never really sure what kinds of mix we are going to have here on the creek, but in the almost six years we have been living here, we have not had any Swedish ducks. Bibby's mother is a white duck with one lone feather draping down from the top of her head (hence, the...

    What kind of duck is Bibby? (pics)

    No, we don't. After I had posted my pics, I realized she did look like a black Swedish, but she and her hatchling mate both have the call duck quack. You can literally hear them from one end of the creek to the other. Are Swedish ducks smaller than Pekins? She is definitely much smaller than...

    What kind of duck is Bibby? (pics)

    This beautiful little duck is Bibby, one of our babies who hatched on the creek last December (despite the fact that I passed the mother's nest each day and told her it was too cold for eggs to hatch!) The mother is a Pekin, and the only drakes on our end of the creek at the time were a small...
