2019 Spring Ducklings are here!

I was just giving her a heads up . The rain that was hitting here would be hitting there an hour of so later and dropping the temp. into the 50's .

It did. Had to close the doors and windows. Brrrrr, it must be in the 60s:plbb

Hahaha and I have been in such a good mood that it has been sunny and in the 40s and 50s this week. Tomorrow is supposed to be in the 60s. I might sunbathe! We have had the fire pit going almost every night and grilling out. And Im a transfer from Texas! I think I am getting used to these winters even though I do hate the cold!
Here in "roller-coaster weather alley" we enjoy sunny mid 50's after long periods in the 20's or 30's! Last year at this time i had to repair the roof of my old house in Houston and got sun-burned! A couple of days later when i drove back to West-Virginia i experienced snow in Tennessee and Virginia…
 
OK i vow: No more predator jokes ever !!! :(

Really sad news today: :hit:hit:hit

During the last days i had noticed that something was scratching the food-bags open in the storage, so i decided to set up a Racoon-trap. Unfortunately Rural King was out of Racoon-traps (the advertised as well as the standard-priced), so we had to drive further to TSC and came back home late…
When i walked out of the garage i heart the ducks screaming, dropped the trap and ran around the house only to see a big black Racoon running away with one of the Buff-Orpingtons.
Grabbed the shovel and pursued, but did not stand a chance…
Most terrible, i heart that poor little duck screaming in the woods before everything went silent. :th
Now i feel like an IDIOT because of my predator-joke from yesterday. :oops:

For tonight i covered the chicken-wire of the duck-house with tarps to keep the ducks away and hooked up my 10kV neon-transformer. If the 'coon comes back it is in for a deadly surprise.
Also the newly bought trap is set and if it is stupid enough to go for the apple inside it will become the first customer of my newly founded business: »Frank's Fatal Free-Diving School« -Death-penalty for duck-murder! :rant

Ahh jeezz. That the saddest thing ever. so sorry!

Drown em good. Then try an open can of tuna for bait tomorow night if the apple doesnt work. its like raccon crack
 
I'm lazy so I copied this.

Oh I have to tell a story about WannaBeHillbilly, still have to message WannaBeHillbilly but I had to laugh a lot when I just saw it 5 minutes ago that I can't keep it in.
I made this Dutch website about Indian runner ducks, the basics of it, and WannaBehillBilly was so kind to provide pictures. And I made a terrible writing mistake.
On a part how to recognize ducks that are unhealthy WannaBeHillbilly provided a picture of a duck laying on it's back, having troubles to stand up. I haven't asked WannaBeHillbilly why the duck did this; but it was a good picture to show a point that a duck that has trouble to keep standing might be sick and you have to go to the vet with it (this website is for dummies. They only have to know that ducks aren't supposed to lay on their backs and what specifically caused it is too much information at once.)
Under the picture I wrote something. But didn't re-read.

It now says;
'This Indian runner duck has trouble to keep her balance. It is sick. Thanks to WannaBeHillbilly'.

:lau
I meant offcourse; Thanks to WannaBeHillbilly to provide the picture :')

:lau - And i read the caption and didn't realized it can be read this way! :celebrate
