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

The ducklings are trying to eat the pee pads that I have down! And they also try to eat the pine shavings underneath! :barnie OMGOSH! They like toddlers that put everything in their mouths! Plz tell me they outgrow this phase?!? Are the pine shavings going to hurt them? Can't they choke? UGH! I was in there trying to clear out the old pee pads and put new ones down and freaked out one of the Pekin and it ran toward its water, AND TRIED GOING THRU THE JUG! And of course, got stuck. Now picture this. I have the handle of the milk jug facing the wall. And I have a hole cut out on each of the sides facing the front. The dumb duck went thru one hole all the way to part way out the other hole. :eek:If the poor thing wasn't panicking so bad and causing me to freak out because of it, I wish I could've gotten a picture of it. But my momma instincts kicked in and I had to rescue it right away. Had to try and wedge the one leg that was stuck part way in back out and then its wing and head thru both holes. And then the best part where I had to cuddle it telling her it'll be ok. :hit These ducklings are gonna drive me crazy! But I still love em! :love

ps,
Should I forego the pee pads now and just stick to pine shavings? It's just that the pee pads are so much easier to just roll up and get rid of.
It's only been 2 weeks ya'll! :th

Reason #1 I won’t get ducks again. Tooooo much work! We never use pee-pads, we always use shavings.
