Oh and they won't start huffing (males)or trilling (females) until about hmm I think Speedy was 2 or 3 months when she started trolling and calling to fancy. I honestly dont remember when fancy first started huffing, all I know is one day it was like magic suddenly he wasn't scared of me anymore...
I didnt either, when i first found Speedy i thought she was male cause she was so aggressive and protective and fancy was a female cause he so timid and scared. They were my first and I think it was cause I was soooo focused on them and trying to be good to them that I paid A LOT of attention to...
...now unless I make it back towards the east coast someday.
My mom past away last year in February...
Anyhow, I've missed y'all and want to come back more often... :) *hugs*
So far, speedy is being a good mom to her 3 hatched babies and she doesnt mind me checking on her or being around them. 😀
Wow, it really has been awhile since I updated this thread.
Well! Here's the surprise picture of Speedy! She'll be 8 this July and this is her first time hatching babies!!! She's still mommy's girl, though I was telling her Good girl as she was drinking and she started wagging her tail 🤪
That's funny you call her houdini - I had one just like her that I named Donella, she would do the same, she could get out of enclosures areas the others couldn't figure out. Anyhow, one day I was collecting an egg and I had a baby! He grew into a big brat named houdini because of his mom's antics.

My mom wants to move back and she's looking at somerset county... I know that's not close to Philly, but would love to get together!
Are back! I missed yall! Hope everyone is doing well... I'm back to being a full-time duck mama for now. I'll post pictures of speedy and her crew now...
After I had to remove 6 of my babies in 2019... I kinda faded off with just the 3... I managed to get 1 of my 6 back 2 months or so ago, along...
How many do you have? You can adjust the food bowl as they grow too. I have so many oh speedy/fancy are to big for these bowls now for both water and food. And they're babies... they just plop down wherever they get tired. :) as they get older they won't do that in the food bowl so much as the...
Or you could just use a bowl for the feed that they dont need to stick their head into holes. I use bowls - dog bowls, cat bowls, plastic bowls... water bowl is the only one that needs adjusted as they grow.
As someone else said they are more then likely getting their heads stuck j in the holes...
