🦆 The DUX has woken up! 🦆

My call duck I used to have used to eat the styrofoam I had laying around inside of the house. I don't know if its the texture, the look, the TASTE? All I know is that ducks go crazy for it.

Ducks are really playful animals!
When sleeping in my kitchen, Sunny's family members pulled the used kitchen towels through the holes in the collection basket.
And last year I was on a permanent Easter Egg hunt for my slippers. Harry always grabbed one and ran away with it.

YES
my Rouen Margarito used to break into the house through the open backdoor when I let the dogs out, take my sandals and try eating them. I ended up throwing them away because she would end up pooping all over them

Ducks LOVE styrofoam. It must be the texture.

There was a block of styrofoam behind the shed at one point and I'd find a chicken pecking at it and getting little bits everywhere, I had to throw it out. They go crazy for it but feed is way better!

Ten weeks have passed since Sunny Sunshine became a Momma Duck! - Here are the kiddos - and their dad - gulping down the first course of their supper:

In the meantime i have started to build a new duck-house for Sunny and her family, will post some more info this evening…

I love the squeaky-toy one!

How are you going to be able to tell them all apart??

I cannot! - Harry Duckhini is hiding within that group of ten ducks and i have no clue which of them is Harry.
I can identify Sunny, Harry and Erbse through their behaviour:

• Harry has a deep rasp and is not afraid to touch me and to be touched by me.
• Sunny has grown some light gray feathers on her back, probably due to all the sorrows of a Momma Duck, and is also not shy.
• Erbse is still the smallest of the group and had a hole in one of her webbies. And she is loud. And she is cheeky. And she is always asking for peas, hence her name.

Even worse: There are two other white ducks in my flock, one from this year's rescue ducklings and one raised by Laura and Tweedledee, that are a perfect match to Sunny's family. Fortunately one of them has very tiny crest…
