Greetings from smokey Spokane Amiga, I replied to your advice about terrified ducks a month ago. It certainly worked well. My ducks now live in the house. I always wanted an indoor pool but I pictured something quite different than a wading pool in my basement. You information about Daisy...

Thank you for the reply. Frustration also loves company as well as misery. Perhaps BYC will open a forum site on the psychological effects of poultry ownership. Mine too are slowly coming around. Fortunately, my neighbors already thought I am nuts. I talk extensively to my dogs and pond...

It has been horrible here for weeks. I do not remember when I saw the sun or stars last. Everyone, I know is terribly concerned about the people and animals that must refugee out to who knows where. Many will return someday to assess their property damage but for too many it will be charred...

Dear cry4nr. I live in Eastern Wash. Too. Look at what Amiga says about smoke and approaching ducks. I suspected the smoke was driving my ducks to flee me she seems has more insight on what animals go through. Good luck Tom

These juvenile delinquents are about seven weeks old and growing. I live in eastern Washington and I wonder if the smoke is not causing them a fight or fly syndrome. What do you think?

I am so glad you brought terrified pet poultry into B.Y.C.. My old ducks were like faithful dogs,but the seven mallards I have now treat like I am a wolf. I do not know why. Now they do run in and out of the house at night when the back door is left open but leave during the day and won't...

Thank you for the input I will add it to my poll. And GREAT LOOKING DOG!!! Tom

. I know your add is closed for this season but do you expect more in 2016. I live in Spokane Wash. I have been looking for pet quality call ducks in Wash,Ore, or Id.. I do not like to ship my pets. Please, call me or message me if you plan to have more. Thank you Tom

@amiga thank you for the information. I think more people should be aware of their body language among other creatures especially those smaller. Personally, I think an entire book could be written on just that subject. Your ducks sound very well loved and cared for. I hope to hear about...

This is a poll. An unofficial one. What breed makes the perfect pet duck. Based on the following; health,personality,ease of care. Laying eggs and other such labor intensive duties I classify under working ducks, and not to be included in this poll. Thanks Tom

Hey Mountain Peep, happy B-day. I will give my ducks,chickens and dogs an extra handful of chow in your honor. T.

I truly like to know I am not alone in my duck dilemmas. Today I decided to only feed them in their hut. So far it is working though they have not gone more than four feet from it The books on poultry sure make sound easy. Backyard Poultry really helps and often with a humorous spin...

Thank you for the very good suggestion. I started today simply giving them their green peas in the duck hut. I am going to try and find meal worms in the a.m.. Do you feed your ducks on a regular schedule. Mine are fed throughout the day. Tom

I just spent two hours at my duck rodeo trying get my ducklings to go inside. It finally worked after two hours. It was traumatizing to all of us. I think i am to just start feeding and watering them in thier hut with access to it all day. Their green peas will only be fed in the hut I...

Prep and demolition appears to be done. The cement foundation is great. Do you have a way to hose it out? I you need easy an inexpensive siding look at home depots metal siding and roofs. They clean very easily. I helped make friends coop and it turned out great!!!!! Im sure you will...

I just ordered two mallard drakes from Metzger Farms. I am glad to hear people have success with them. I ordered through E-Fowl before. I liked them too. But their minimum order is five. Does any body know if inbreeding is a problem with poultry. I find it cruel and immoral with any...

We Must be doing something right my duckling made it through the night. I thank you and everybody at B.Y.C. for thier kindness and suggestions. Tom

Thank you for the tip on a Pedialyte type substance. It seems safer than safer than sugar and water. Its 1:00 a.m. here in Spokane but I'll go looking right now. Tom

Thank you for the gro gel tip. The brooder is 90 degrees. The remaining four seem quite happy. Tom

I hope your chick survives the night. I have been giving the little sick duck that is still alive sugar water. He finally, started eating a little. I guess like you I will just to wait tell morning. II hope we both have good news in the morning. Tom
