Quote: My eggs are contained to, so that wouldn't be a problem. Do they like corn? LOL!

Quote: crows, however, will steal and eat your eggs. I've seen them fly off with an egg in their beak. I've watched mockingbirds run off hawks (full sized red tails) and crows both. so if you can invite jays and mockingbirds, that'd be a plan... That's what I've heard about the crows...

We have a LOT of Dove around here, so I wish this Hawk would lay off my ducks! He's not even big enough to carry it off! I've heard people talk about crows and blue jays... and attracting them. I'm thinking about doing that. (Although blue jays aren't much better.. ) But at least they...

Hey peeps, I have some very exciting news. (exciting to me anyway!) The 2 eggs I put in the bator 4 days or so ago are both veining nicely! This means that the 2nd hen is definantly getting some action under the table. I am SURE that these 2 eggs are one from each hen because I took all the...

Quote: I have noticed the like to conduct their "business" first thing in the morning. So that's a great idea!

Quote: Good advice thanks. I have a tendency to get impatient.

OMG I just looked out to check on the kids and a HAWK flew up to the fence then flew on top of the duck cage THEN did a fly by on the ducks in their pool. Will this drama never end? (Actually I love Ducky Drama, it's the best kind.) It was a young hawk because it was very small. (small for...

You guys are funny! Today as the drama unfolds on "Ducks of our Lives" female #1 (Bella) was confined to her pen while the drake (Edward) and Female #2 (Rosalee) were released on their own. They were not to concerned with Bella being locked up, but poor Bella was beside herself. After about...

Well... Here's an update. I seperated them. He was frantic with worry. Then he went back to the pool where the other female was, and proceeded to try and "woo" her. She wouldn't give him the time of day. If she could talk she would say, "Oh, so I'm good enough for ya now huh?" I kept her...

Well, I'm going to go separate them and see what happens.

Quote: I was wondering that too. But this drake is a little aggressive and I think he would go after another male. That's the only thing I'm worried about with that one. And by "aggressive" I mean, he likes to try to chase us and then run away, and he thinks he's tough stuff when the dog...

Ok, Thanks guys. I was thinking about a "conjugal visit" and you both just confirmed that. At first I thought, maybe it's just happening when I'm not watching... but I spent a little time yesterday really watching them and I'm sure now that he's ignoring her. I'll seperate a little in the...

Scenario: Ok, yes, I have been watching... and I noticed that only one of my two mallard hens seems to be getting "attention" from the male. The female that isn't getting any "attention" tries REALLY hard. (Ya know, the head bob, the laying flat in the pool thing...) And he ignores her...
