Anyone else's ducks afraid of them? I've hand raised half of these ducks and they still think I'm going to kill them when I go near them :th. Trying to get adorable photos of them yesterday because I hardly have any and they're all just blurs that barely look like ducks. I'm not sure how you...

Those ducklings are all very cute guys. This thread seems to be the best place for this instead of starting a new thread altogether. I have 2 cayuga drakes and need to get rid of some drakes. One of the drakes is perfect. Looks more blue and green than black, black bill and legs. His only...

I have some photos but not very good ones. I like to get photos of them so that I have lots of records of them. Plus, they're cute so their photos need to be taken anyway. They're on my phone though and I'm on the computer right now so I'll put them on later. Can't wait to see your pictures of...

Thank you. That's what I'm planning on doing. She's currently in the pen with the smaller/younger of the chooks I got yesterday. So, Indian games and leghorns. I also got wynadottes but they're small enough to go in with my 4 chicks that I've got already. And just because I'll put down what I...

Thank you. I'll probably just do what you've done. I've only got the 2 now but I know I'll have plenty more soon :lau. I almost brought more runners yesterday too but I could only see some white ones and I wanted some coloured ones. I personally like the mixed colours too. It also makes it...

The other day I said I got another 4 ducks. Well, yesterday we went to a poultry auction to "just look". That just looking resulted in another 19 birds. 6 of those are ducks. I now have 3 Pekin ducks and a rouen trio added to my list. So, 9 mutt ducks (5 are drakes and will be going. Also...

I have 4 more ducks!! There's a cuyaga drake, a mixed duck and a pair of indian runners. Pictures as soon as I'm able to get them. They do not stay still long enough to get a good photo of them. I'm now up to 12 but will be having to cull 5 of those soon because they're drakes (of course the...

Sometime soon I'll be getting another 4 ducks. There's a pair of Cayugas, a fawn and white Indian Runner drake and a mix duck. There could possibly be more but not sure. The lady is selling her farm and we've said we'll take the ducks. They've also got chickens but they're all mutts so not...

On the topic of picky ducks (a few days ago but oh well). Our birds eat kitchen scraps as a large part of their diet. Still get layer feed and free range mix too. Been doing it for years. In all that time, all our other animals come running for food every time someone goes out there, even if...

Today I lost 2 beautiful ducks. While I was at school and the ducks were free ranging a fox came along and took 2. Of course the ducks were taken and not the drakes I'm having to cull :th . One of them was a young girl who would've been starting to lay soon. The second was the saddest. She was...

Yes, we figured out where they got in and fixed it. The white ones are white Indian runner x Cayuga.

These are the ones I lost. The 3 white ones were going in the freezer anyway so it wasn't too bad. Except one of them was my baby who imprinted on me because he was an only hatch. But the other 3 were the problem. I lost the Cayuga pair and the Runner drake. The 2 drakes were the ones I had only...

Everyone’s ducks are so cute! I can’t hatch any ducks at the moment because a fox got in and killed all our ducks (including the 3 that would have to be $70 each. 2 of which we’d only just got 2 weeks before hand). Luckily one of the ducks was injured but still alive. And I was too lazy to put...

I have no self control. Today we went for a 2 hour drive to trade my ram lamb for another ram lamb. We decided to trade a Cayuga x appleyard x runner duck for a pure bred Cayuga drake while we were at it. They had 2 fawn and white runner drakes, 2 fawn and white runner ducks and 2 Cayuga...

They're not very good. They're in a large wooden box which is quite dark at the end so not too easy to get pictures. And she doesn't like me too much so sits on them as soon as I walk into the shed. She'll be moving out of there maybe tomorrow though so I'll be able to get some good pictures then.

She's got 7 under her. 3 white and 4 black. Another black hatched but sadly passed away for unknown reasons. She's a good mumma already.

My duck was due to hatch her eggs yesterday and today. I can't tell if there's any under her yet. It's so painful waiting for them to hatch. Worth it, but still painful.

It is painful and sometimes I still cry myself to sleep but it does get easier. You're allowed to miss him for years to come. You don't forget but it slowly gets better and easier to deal with it.

My heart goes out to you. He's gorgeous. At least you were there when he passed so you got to say goodbye and make sure he was comfortable. Take comfort that you did all you could for him. That's so cute that when you said he was going to the dog park his ears perked.

I hope your dog gets better. We lost ours to a brain tumour earlier this year. We could do nothing but wait for the end with him. Hopefully you can do something for your dog and he has some more years in him.
