Rain had come to our little duck pond. The puppy has kind of made friends. I am building the puppy/duckling pen for her next phase of training. The female duck has managed to hang in there. She is one tough cookie. The one male still chases her from time to time but that appearse because...

I have to let this play out. I think she is a survivor, she has made it this far, and has figured out a strategy, avoid, eat, preen add oil, avoid, eat...etc. She has two allies, me and her fat friend (all my ducks are fat as they have the pond to themselves.) :hugs

You'd think they could leave her be right? No! Lol, this whole day has been comical.

I just started hissing and imitating a dominant male. They drakes are bowing and backing off. They are now letting her forage with them. Of course they all left after a few more minutes while typing and a female friend stayed behind, but they allowed her to stay. They would not let her near...

Things are calming down. Heat of day and all. I'm trying to figure out what I can do on no budget. The drakes big and strong, im gonna need reinforcing. Easiest it to add a friend in with her. If I have to bring her in, I'll get her a friend.

Males view me as competition. She will never let herself get 100% until she decides to rest while in care. I am thinking about taking her with the 2 docile hens. And sticking them back in the pen.

It is natures way of culling the weak. We hate it because we have compassion. Prince has now decided she is unwelcome. He attacks her open mouth now, head down. She is preening next to me, after I got some mazuri in her. She knows who I am...daddy.

My mistake was letting her out aftee their morning forage...I'm so great at hindsight...lol

There are two females that try and help her fend off the drakes. They stayed with her after the 45 minute rape session as they switch hit, D J then Prince...approx. 8 mating and LG got on her a lot when males were taking a smoke break. After that the drakes and LG went off and plotted their...

Survived firs attack. On shore recovering. So far they have not let her forage...

Update: she is finally getting some good oil production going. The gland has been pretty dry and today it is oiled up and she is going to town spreading the oil. Not sure why oil production down, maybe to offset the needed nutrition to get weight back on? Either way...with oil on her...

Yesterday was dumb. Today I vow to be cognizant of the fact that she may end up a house duck. She walk inside last night plopped down and wondered where the treat was. Quack, quack, quack...then Drake 1 comes by and hiss talks at her. Momma wants drake 1. Great.. Quack quack quack....can...

She seems ok. But the drakes are pestering her so I think spring is in the air and she knows she is weak, but instinct overrides sanity. Well, moving fast is not something a 58 year old Scottish troll is good at...nothing against trolls, I am sure they are plenty fast. I always say my...

Video update: 2 minute video of the 4 minutes of fun. After that, phone was on ground...recording sounds. First minute and half is her tentative walk back to pond. As soon as DJ jumps her I try to get her. That is when fun starts.

She is ok. Not quacking, relaxing. I got the classical music going as I played that when she was really bad. I will see what I can do about fish oil...she eats the mazuri and some crumble but mostly she muddles do I am putting grubs and minnows on ground...you got me thinking so I'll get it...

Not sure ANYONE will ever see the security footage...my shirt came off...and I ain't pretty. Pretty wrinkly but not pretty...lol:old

I am here all the time and that puppy will not leave my side. A wrongful glance at a duck will get a warning. I have trained animals before...horses, dogs, cats. My mom was a rescue mom and then help found and fund a no kill pet shelter. So I am hoping that a little love, tenderness and...

Oh and I have video, just not willing to advertise the comical...me dripping carrying a duck holding her to me like a pillow and she just let it happen, no flap at that point. Yea, my security camera caught it all. Maybe someday... I'm working on editing the phone video of her first attempt...

Last night, the mother of my son and potential duck momma, said two more weeks let her live with your puppy... I think two more weeks was correct. The other females just roll her like jelly...she had no defense. I guess my puppy shares the porch with Medical Patient 1 and potential friend...

Ok, she scratched her face, I let her go this morning, I went swimming and saved her from drowning...her oil washed off pretty quickly. Drakes were all over her, LG attacked and tried to mount her. They were in middle of pond and I couldn't get them...had lettuce, enticed others to shore...she...
