Hey friends!
We have a Magpie Drake (named Mags) that has become quite the bully. He and the Pekin run around together, and have, um, relations, often. They are definitely bonded.
I rescued a newer duck, and he is awful to her. We have to keep them separated all the time. She doesn't...
He's not mean to me or my husband. He knows better, and we're not scared of him.
My poor dogs though, he's got it out for them. It cracks me up. He's always chasing after my elderly beagle, and then he'll go up and chest bump the boxer. The boxer doesn't care, but it's funny to watch this...

We tried little bitty wooden eggs to see if it would keep them from laying eggs every 2...
The mirror was placed last night. So far she's disinterested. Poop.
One of the little duck babies died over night. I figured it might die the day after I got it...she just seemed off. Now I have two squawking ducks looking for their friends. This plan backfired!
We had 2 ducks until last week. At one point there were 3, and one got killed. The two left were about 5 months old, females. The little black duck, Quackie O, fell ill and passed away last week. Quackie O kept Phoebe (the Pekin) in line with her loud quacks.
Phoebe who was already kind of a...
