Although a few words of advice....
- Have a team of ppl to help...I did mine solo and it's a hell of a workout hand mixing and pouring that much concrete after you're already beat from digging a hole... I'm 105lbs and literally pushed myself to the MAX.
- Don't use quickrete (my pool is over...
From my personal experience:
I purchased an adult farm duck that had no positive human interaction prior to meeting me.. He had been beaten up and picked on by other drakes he'd been housed with, missing feathers, and just frightened of everything.
He was bought to keep my 6 month old mallard...
My smallest of the two domestic ducks was the flyer. I had a few acres that the duck would go on short "flying practices" around the house but he never showed interest in migrating. He was just playing around. He would never leave me or his best bud (the bigger duck). Normally he would fly...
OK.... sorry this took so long...had to find my pics.
I had two that were similar to yours. They are domestic mallards (one could fly- the other died as he couldn't escape a hawk :( ). I've also had a wild mallard that I hatched (the mom abandoned her eggs outside my office-only one...
He's a mallard... But I'm starting to think he's a freak of nature because after looking up other mallards, I haven't found any with such huge serrations :/
I, unfortunately, need to rehome my two babies. I have moved and no longer have the space or time. For them anymore. They are very spoiled and must go to someone who will be willing to spoil them even more. They are very good about following me and one, once he trusts you, will even hop right...
Thanks, Fluffers! I kind of spoil the only two I have WAY too much so they tend to behave like little babies. When I took the 1st pic, Mallen was all proud of himself for guarding my lap from my other boy
