So, our duck yard is basically a big soap opera right now. *chuckle* We have mostly Muscovies (1 drake and 4 females), four Anconas (2 drakes and 2 females), and one female Buff Orpington. Our two Ancona drakes started getting their Springtime Frisk on before the snow had finished falling. Did...

I had to share today's joy: this morning, I collected the first duck egg of the year! WooHoo!!

I wanted to share a picture from tonight. Having seen a goat trough in another member's post being used to hold duck food, we decided to get one at TSC and give it a try. I love seeing the ducks all lined up!

This YouTube video was shared in my Facebook stream this morning. I thought it too cute not to share! Yay for good people!! http://gdsr.ch/UW1EAQ

We are T-minus 5 days until our first Muscovy ducklings get processed. I'm okay with it -- I've known all along they were for the freezer. Unfortunately, one in particular has kept my eye and I'll be sad to see him go. I just wanted to post a few pictures of him... sappy, I know, but to...

Well, it finally happened. It's that time of year where the hose finally froze. No longer will it be easy to fill the duck pools. Buckets will have to be lugged from house to duck pen twice a day. (insert muttering here) Most of us go through it, so I'm trying not to be too over it... but it...

Our daughter was recently given a bag of books and within was one called, "Dodsworth in Paris." Written by Tim Egan, it's about a mouse ("Dodsworth") and his friend/pet duck (no name, just referred to as "the duck")... and all the trouble the duck gets Dodsworth into. It's a really cute...

We had Muscovy ducklings born on July 9. That makes them currently 6 weeks old. Right now, the ducklings and their mama are in a separate wing of our duck pen. The main part of our pen currently houses two Muscovy females and three drakes (two gentle Anconas and a nice-but-still-dom Muscovy)...

When we chose/bought our two Anconas in May, they were vent sexed to be a male (Freckles, with freckles on his cheeks) and a female (Patches, with patches on her cheeks). However, over the last few months, we've determined that Patches is actually probably a male -- she/he has the curled up tail...

Backtrack just a little... We got our first Muscovy ducks this past Autumn and created a little pasture for them with fencing and a converted truck cap for shelter. When we added a couple more Muscovies and a pair of Ancona ducklings this Spring, we took another piece of fencing and split the...

We're on our way out for the day, and while I was getting ready, my husband went out to tend the ducks. He spent a little longer than he usually does out there and when he came back, he asked me how many of the eggs were cracked last night when I last checked in on everybody. None!! Weee!! I ran...

I went out to feed and water everyone this morning, only to find Freckles, one of my young Anconas bloodied. Something got him on the back of his neck -- I tried to get pics, but I didn't want to get too close and frighten him more. It MOSTLY looks like a bunch of feathers were torn out. I...

Hello, BYC folks! I've been lurking about this big, beautiful website for about a year now and thought it time I finally showed my face. I just posted a quick hello in the Introductions section, but I enjoy sharing pictures about as much as you people seem to enjoy looking at them, so thought...

Hello, BYC folks! I've been lurking about this big, beautiful website for about a year now and thought it time I finally showed my face. We live in Maine and this past Autumn we started adding ducks to our little homestead. Currently we have five Muscovies (including one broody mama) and two...
