➡I accidentally bought Balut eggs: 2 live ducks! Now a Chat Thread!

Last night they decided that they should be overnight guests.

Does @WVduckchick have these?

No, I think those are Jacobins. I have Satinettes, Classic Frills. I didn't care for the Jacobins when I first saw them, but they are growing on me. But until I get more room, I think I'll stick to what I have.

yes they are. I dont know the standard size cages so would something 6'wide x 4' deep x 4 ' high made out of hardware cloth off the ground work for a pair? If not what would you suggest? My dimensions are a total stab in the dark, a starting point if you will. I'd prefer off the ground cause of their feathering. Yours are beautiful buy the way

sounds plenty big to me, but you may pose this question over in the Pigeon/Dove section. If you post it on my “Pigeon Talk” thread, there are lots of good, knowledgeable folks there. I’ve only had pigeons for about a year, so I’m still learning too.

They came back again tonight. One got hung up in the neighbor's yard and decided to roost in their Russian Olive tree. Two are back up in the same dead elm they spent last night in. The last one managed to get himself up in the thin branches of a nearby Russian Olive and is swaying in the wind.
