So yesterday we had a lot of rain come in and after I drove for 3 hours (yes I said that, I spend 6 hours a day in my car driving my kid to and from school) I noticed the tarp over the pin that had the calls in it was sinking, so I tried to remove the water and the tarp caved in on me causing havoc amongst the ducks. In turn causing them to panic, and then causing them to FLY AND RUN in a directions. After spending 4 hours searching in the rain, scaring my husband and friend Ravynfallon, and staying in the emergency room on an insulin drip, I am sad to report that as of today only 6 of the 15 calls are still here. And that's because I was able to catch them. Don't know how I was able to catch them but I was.. I was found holding 4 in my arms and don't remember much after that. My sugar dropped and so did I.
Smh, my life... Ravynfallon is supposed to come today and help look for the rest but I think the severe weather coming in will delay that. I did find 2 eggs had been laid and am thinking about throwing them in the Bator , who wants to vicariously incubate some eggs...??![]()
running around in the cold and rainy is never a good idea for one who is diabetic, i know this very well myself, but sometimes its hard not to
sorry about the ones that got out![]()
yes incubate those eggs, set ALL eggs
Maybe wait a couple days to put them in, see if you get more?
I knew better, but at that moment I was so panicked and worried about the calls I lost all rational thinking, my babies were also part of the chaos and escape. The only one who didn't run was Ray, he knows momma can grab him so he just sat down once I started saying, "no,no,no," the fab 5 scattered in every direction but thankfully they decided after an hour or so of running they had enough and came back to form a group and came to me.. I paid dearly for it and have slept on and off since coming back home. I'm excited about the 2 eggs I have, haven't but then in the Bator yet, not really sure what to do with them yetI plan on putting them in the Bator but I'm not sure when a good time to do that is..![]()
Yeah that's what Ravynfallon said to do, it's killing me to be patient lol
I have never had a duck that laid eggs, so no clue on what to do really...
