Bumping this thread as I’d hate to see it die! How is everyone? How are your flocks?
All is well here. Daphne and Matilda are sporting their new fancy feather suits and are ready for winter! The Scovies are still mid-molt.
I’m glad that Pud can take advantage of being a part of the “in crowd”, at least for now! Of course the chicken joined in on the beat down! Silly birds! :rolleyes:
Random cleaning question that is not deserving of its own thread:
We are in the middle of a rainy spell, torrential rain every day and night! So much rain! This rain is going to continue for at least another week! Anyways, I try to do full clean outs of the duck run after rainy spells when I...
I am here, off and on. Dealing with an ongoing family emergency and have been and will continue be out of state at times. Hoping Daphne can hold her own and not need medical intervention when I’m gone. Thank you for checking in! @CoriM and @KaleIAm Thinking of you both :hugs
I did take a photo...
It’s been pouring rain all day, but the girls still insisted on their foraging walk when I got home from work. Much fun was had, and many worms were eaten, but the ‘Scovettes eventually said “enough is enough” and led the march back to the duckio. Now, it’s raining harder and the silly girls are...
Can we take a second to talk about that moment when you are outside with your ducks happy and relaxed and they become suddenly still because there’s clearly a Murder Beast somewhere, but you can’t see it, so you ask them, while frantically scanning around, if it has feathers or fur, but they...
Mine have a distance at which they feel safe, which is relatively close, but do not like to be touched. They see me as most likely an axe murderer who does nice things for them. They will accept their food and their nighttime mealworm treats with great enthusiasm, and will happily swim in their...
I’m just going to post to keep this thread near the top as it can not die! I’m sure there’s some new and adorable ducking (or adult duck) photos out there! Here’s a few of mine from this evening’s foraging walk. They’re not great quality as they were really on a mission and I could only get them...
Everyone is safe this AM, including Daphne. I couldn’t find her egg, but she was bright and happy before I left for work. Matilda was missing, but was found UNDER a broken apart bale of hay sitting on a secret nest.:confused:
Ordered more Calsorb. Hoping bear will move on as he usually does...
Thank you! What she does NOT need is this %#&$@* black bear. This was 2 hours ago. No break-in yet. I remember when I thought having ducks would be fun :hit
Thank you! She was prescribed this Calsorb stuff the last time she went to her DVM for the same symptoms. Luckily, I stocked up last fall and still have some on hand. I just tucked her in for the night after a brisk foraging walk (exercise seems to help her “move things along”) and she is a...
