    Please help! Could anyone give our little Rounder a forever home?

    Some of you may have read about Rounder, the little blind Pekin that I rescued as a baby about three months ago. She is all grown up now, a healthy and beautiful girl, and her two little friends are ready to join the other creek ducks. I really need to rehome Rounder, though. Our little back...

    Smart creek duck! Check out Bibby's new nest (pics)

    Bibby, one of our little creek ducks had hidden a nest in the grass on the banks of the creek. After sitting on her eggs over two weeks, someone or something broke her up. She now seems to have discovered a people and predator safe nest. They may turn out to be well done before she hatches...

    Ducky laugh out loud moment!

    I was cleaning our refrigerator today, so I took the entire bin of ice cubes and dumped them in the kiddie pool for our girls, thinking it would bring the temperature down and they would enjoy the cooler water. Before I had walked away from the pool, all three of them were over there grabbing...

    Three Lucky Ducks!

    And now there are three! Rounder, the little blind Pekin, is now fully grown, as is his friend, Susie, the little Mallard with one angel wing. They have been joined by Dot, the only remaining duckling from Plume's extended hatch. They are all special needs ducks, to some extent, but they're...

    What do we do now?

    Plume, one of our little creek ducks, has a nest right below our house in some Asian Jasmine. She started hatching July 5, which I had marked as her due date. She hatched two babies that day, two the next, and one the next. We took the babies, and she persists on staying on the nest. It has...

    Duck dilemma- what do we do?

    Plume, one of our little creek ducks, hatched two beautiful little Pekin babies Tuesday. They came off the nest by themselves to feed and water in our little alley right behind our house, but Plume kept going back to the nest. I told our neighbor that we needed to clean out the unhatched eggs...

    New Creek Babies - Plume, our suvivor duck hatches (pic)

    Plume, on of our backyard creek survivors, hatched two babies today. She had 17 eggs, but the weather has been so unbearably hot (over 100 for days), coupled with searing drought, that it is amazing that she was able to hatch any at all. She has remained on the nest all day, apparently waiting...

    Feed and water at night?

    My two little ladies are now about two months old, and up to now, I have been keeping food and water out for them 24 hours a day, including in their coop at night. I would really like to begin just feeding them twice a day, morning and evening, and having water out for them during the day, plus...

    What kind of duck is Bibby? (pics)

    This beautiful little duck is Bibby, one of our babies who hatched on the creek last December (despite the fact that I passed the mother's nest each day and told her it was too cold for eggs to hatch!) The mother is a Pekin, and the only drakes on our end of the creek at the time were a small...

    Mallard or grey call?

    This a picture of Susie, our new little yard-guest. I don't know if she is a mallard (the people who had her said she was, but then, they also said the feed store said she was a Pekin!) She is tiny little thing, and I have not heard her quack as yet, so I'm thinking she may be a grey call...

    Rounder has a friend!!!

    This morning, a couple was trying to release a young mallard mix on the creek, and she persisted in following them home. We took her into our back yard, and now Rounder has a buddy about the same age she is. We're hoping this will help Rounder locate her food, water, and shade, but neither of...

    Rounder is 5 weeks old!

    Our little blind baby, Rounder, is now five weeks old, feathering out nicely, and has free run of our little back yard. She doesn't go far from her cage when she is let out, but usually finds a nice spot and just sits and picks at the grass. She absolutely loves her kiddie pool and is a...

    Update on Rounder, Our Blind Baby Duck

    Rounder, our little blind baby duck, is two weeks old today. She, or he, is thriving although she can't see a thing. She responds to my voice and can find her food and water if it is left in the same place in the cage each day. She loves to follow me around in the yard while I water my...

    How do I tell if duckling is blind?

    I have a four day old Pekin duckling that seems to be either blind or have some sort of neurological problem. He is bright, alert, eats well when he can find the food, and other than his having difficulty finding his food and water and going in circles, he seems to be okay. He was turned out...

    Hello from the Hill Country of Texas!

    Any other Texans out there? My husband and I live on the banks of a creek in a public park, so we have a front row seat to all the duck happenings on the creek, and they have been really wild this spring!! We actually killed a rat snake who was devouring eggs, took him out of the nest, and...
