How many bumbles am I looking at?
Phew! Thanks! I thought that noise was really weird and kinda freaked me out. Lol. As far as their "run" flooring, it's just a thin vinyl mat that you would see in maybe an office? It's 3 feet wide so it's meant to be a runner. We cut it and have 2 pieces, side by side. It has small flat... -
Ducks and Alligators.....
YES! Panthers! I just figured it was the Panther, puma, cougar, mountain lion? name game. Lol. They all look the same to me. Scary! I'm really not a weeny, I just play one on the threads. Still don't want to come face to face with one, no matter what the heck it's called. Sounds like your... -
How many bumbles am I looking at?
I edited the pics so the bumbles would be easier to see. I really just wanted everyone to see my bubble gum pink fingernail polish before I edited them.... I have girly girl children. Don't judge me. Lol Ugh. I feel so bad for letting her little feet get this way! -
How many bumbles am I looking at?
Alright everybody, aside from the common bumble question, I have a weird one.... First and foremost, here's the icky feet pics. Are these ALL bumbles?! I know the big one in the middle of her left foot (rt in the pic) is for sure. It had a scab I removed that had a whiteish looking piece... -
Ducks and Alligators.....
First, I'd like to take the opportunity to thank the Dear Lord for being land locked in Kansas!!! Oh. My. Gosh. Raccoons gave me enough sleepless nights when we went through planning and moving our 2 ducks out. I can't even imagine trying to outsmart a gator! The ducks would still be in the... -
How long can eggs wait on duck to start sitting?!
Agreed! If she even DID get broody, I wouldn't be keeping any of the ducklings. Thought I'd call the extension office and see which 4-H chapter did the most poultry/waterfowl projects. Our state fair is next week and the fairgrounds are in our town. They have a TON of birds that show every year... -
How long can eggs wait on duck to start sitting?!
How cute is that?! She's clearly buried a bunch of them, hence my hesitation to dig around in there. Btw, the toy is a Minecraft plushie my daughter gave them when they were in the brooder. They still sleep with it. Well, at least the Drake does for now. Lol. -
How long can eggs wait on duck to start sitting?!
...cold week or two. If we let them forage for 2-3hrs, she's away from them for the whole time, even when we had milder temps for several days. 70-80*. She's up to 20 eggs but they can't all be fertile. Some are the size of a chicken egg since she's only started laying. Both duck and Drake have... -
Happy Birthday to me!!
You better post some pics! That's too FUN! Read up on potty training them. My childhood riding instructor has a potbellied that's an inside/outside pig. Sounds awful, but they're actually REALLY clean and super smart. The pig goes to the door just like a dog and always goes to the same spot in... -

The Duck Thread
Thanks! They will come right up and eat your shoe laces, but they aren't lap ducks. Kinda frustrating. It's like a sweet and friendly dog/cat that you SWEAR is asking to be picked up but as soon as you try, all hell breaks loose. Lol. If you lay down they'll climb all over you but since duck and... -
The Duck Thread
As its 7:45 and the light isn't cooperating. I put a chrome filter on the pics and made them as light as I could and still show a little of his color. His tail end is what gets me, and it's just not the same through a camera lens. But then, I don't think I'll ever be a professional photog... -
The Duck Thread
THANKS EVERYBODY! Yes, the drakes look like a mallard that's been snowed on. Lol. All of their colored feathers are irridescent. His dark tail is actually a dark navy! We got them from a feed store! I don't know how correct they are, but I figured I'd see if any of the 4-H kids wanted some if we... -
The Duck Thread
Yep, @Juliebird, I do have WH. Good memory! @Debs Flock I triiiied to get some pics last night but between the sun going down and them chasing bugs, I didn't get very clear ones. lol Taking his bodyguard job very seriously! -
Can anyone identify what breed my new ducks are?
This is him with coloring a little closer to yours. I have a huge lapse of time between feathering in pics. Sorry. Bad mom. You can really tell the diff in their beak colors in these pics. -
Can anyone identify what breed my new ducks are?
The lighter ducks are welsh harlequins. I hate to tell you this, but it looks like they're all drakes too. Any quacking from them? I have a pair. Our drake, Tater. Our duck, Tot. Before he got his "big boy" feathers. Lol. The females have dark bills and legs. The males are lighter bills...
