I was surprised he seemed so obsessed right away. I was worried he would hurt them as males can. His lady got taken during the day which I'm sure he saw.. I was concerned about him being depressed. He would follow around our hens and play with the dog but I'm sure it's not the same. As soon as...
Hello!! Missed talking to you guys, no cell reception except one area but forget trying to use the internet :rolleyes:
Back from the dunes to get ready for another trip in 2 weeks:D but thought I'd check in!
:frow:frow:frow
All the babies are doing great! Peep is by far the favorite and the...
More cuddles
We like to be in our water dish at the same time
The "twins" seem to be followers of the yellow one. Have a feeling none were ever handled as they still hate (ok not hate but not love yet) us but we're getting there
Any advice on gaining trust? We try not to scare them, no...
That's what I read but had to make sure .. "cause everything on the internet is true" she said with sarcasm :lau
I'll pick some up soon for all the babies :D
My mom is actually very curious on having a couple muscovys! I'll share this info .. we might be looking to add a couple more once we finish the new duck coop - want to make sure we've got enough room
** recommendations as in - I'm worried that they're not getting enough when I mix with water. I'd like to find a powder to add to food ** any good brands? Amazon. Walmart? Somewhere? Nutritional vs brewers?
Sometimes peep looks a little shaky :confused:
...and they're soo cute - just mutts. I'll find the email again as I can't remember what they are:th
Still quite nervous but we're getting there
*any recommendations on which powdered yeast to add to food* I've read about the difference in brewers vs nutritional- any thoughts
Here they are...
I've never had muscovy either.. I'd like to find closer to home but if not I'd consider the drive.
What are muscovy like? High maintenance? Special skills I need?? Nervous?
Yeah I was planning on Ancona. Never had them but they we're available.. have yet to receive any word from the lady so I think I'll be making a drive tomorrow to a farm further away. We'll see.. but tomorrow I will grab any ducklings I can find. I'm sure peep loves us and all, she follows me...
First Bath
One of three of our dogs, Reno, trying to "share" dinner
She likes to perch
Buried in her blankets :love
Our pets are totally spoiled and completely my babies :lau:wee
Ok good so no fighting! Good! I'll still keep an eye on em.. but won't worry so much.
I'm supposed to get 2 females but I haven't heard from the lady yet.. she told me she'd call/email when she knew schedule but hasn't yet. I'll wait the rest of the day today, I understand life can be crazy...
We live up in the woods. Cougar, WA .. north-ish of Portland Oregon . What about you?
Excited to get these babies! Was thinking.. I've never had to introduce new ducks we always just had mama hatch.. I was thinking of keeping them separated by this puppy fence thing so that can see eachother...
Sorry for the delay! Sickie child.
I finally found some more babies!! Get to pick them up this weekend :wee:wee
2 Ancona females :love
I haven't had Ancona before ... but have and continue to read about them. I chose females just incase my one is male.
I meant to ask about live birds from Metzers. Thats where I ordered the eggs but how was the shipping process with them, were they "packed" ok .. I wonder about the temp right now being summer . I think shipping will be my last resort. I want to get them soon but it's just so hot right now
