2019 Spring Ducklings are here!

Probably never eat another duck egg again. Poor thing.

I did some research and it will probably kill him, which I am sad about. All in all, he was pretty helpful to have around and I didn't mind sharing an occasional egg with him.

We like our black snakes too as long as they don't go after our birds. I am sure the grow big in Texas they can get 6' here. but they also eat Copper heads.

I had to make sure the birds were big enough before they went out. I had to put out some three week olds and he was going to eat one. Had to pull him off. Once they are five wee is he didn't mess with them. Once I found him in the nest, Under The Duck waiting for his breakfast to come out.

Oh my gosh that is hilarious under the duck. I actually had one get a 2 day old Muscovy I was so thankful I came up on them when I did I was able to unwrap that snake from around that duckling and save it's life. But I killed the snake by slinging it up against the wood shed instead of it sailing across the fence. Usually we just walk them way down the road.

Hmm, my remain ing one has white above her eyes too. Not as much as that one. Andi have a Swedish with no bib.

I don't say Saxony duck, but it looks like there is some Saxon in them.

Also friends I set two eggs today. George was eaten and I am trying to see if I can get a baby george. Miraculous Mini was missing for two days and I was sure she had been eaten too. On the third day I found her in her coop. I was very confused until I figured out where she had been hiding. Grabbed the two eggs she laid while in hiding. Keep you fingers crossed. Mini has now survived over 7 predator attacks, she may have cat genes.

Sorry to hear about George! Damn Coyotes!
At this point i would go rampant! Either would go on an active hunt or set up traps…

I hate snakes! I just hate the slippery, sneaky nature of them. I took a walk around Lake Worth once, walked around a corner and almost stepped into a rattler. It started rattling a moment before i stepped on it and almost got me. Sneaky creatures!

Trapping is really hard. Tomorrow when I try to get them to go out,I will sit up there with my AR and cover them. Until I get the fence jumper.

Definitely. But as just be Saxony runner crosses. I don't know. I would have paid more to get Saxonys, I love the lilac feathers.
