I'd say a tread mill is in Ralphie's immediate future.

My two outside duckies were being so cute this morning, I can hardly stand it!

Rubber ducky mode! I wish the background wasn't so dark, he was being so cute!

These were the two that made me laugh the most. Malcolm is such a sassy little guy!

"Excuse me, human, but where is our swimming pool?" (Trudi peeking past him in the background here just about did me in! )

"Where is the swimming pool, human?!"

(Notice how there's a nice hunk of ice encasing the brick he's standing next to? Doesn't matter, they want their pool time!)

Awwww, such cuties!

"I can reach, I can reach!"

Don't worry, he really can reach, lol. There is a cinder block for the little guys to stand on if they want to.

And here's one of them trying to tell the pekin that he's in charge. She isn't convinced, lol.

those are adorable!

I love this "show off your dux call" thread!

BTW you peoples are getting to me..I was looking at the nearly empty Guinea Gulag and thinking, "Judy, could put call dux in there"


I immediately went in and swallowed a bottle of syrup of Ipecac to get rid of what ever was affecting my thinking...

Call ducks are significantly easier to keep water in front of than big ducks. Or geese. Geese are awful.

My geese are actually very polite with water compared to ducks, lol. Even as goslings they are SO much better with water than ducklings, even Call ducklings. I've never had goslings soak the brooder like ducks do. I've actually heard that from other goose keepers too. Maybe yours didn't get the memo; you better tell them to shape up

I actually didn't know you had geese, what breed do you raise? I raise tufted romans. You can actually see Zilla there in that picture of the ducks I posted. He's sitting by the waterer with them, not making a mess while all the ducks do their best to splash all the water out. Ducks

My geese are much better with water also than the sloppy ducks are. My gander once in a while especially if there isn't swimming water will dunk his head a lot but they don't stand at the buckets and see how fast they can splash all the water out.

I don't have geese, but my neighbour and several friends did. They get in all the water buckets and poop everywhere. Not sure what breeds. Some were white and some were grey and white.

I've thought of getting some, but I don't feel like dealing with their nasty temper. There's probably a trick for raising them nice but I don't know it, lol.
