2019 Spring Ducklings are here!

Btw, Mocha is in drake jail. I do not understand why he keeps going after Quackers, the Pekin. There is about the width of a duckbill of missing feathers on her neck.

Probably because she is slower.

 

[Texag87]

She is slow but not the slowest. The Rouen that was attacked in the fall is slower.

And he doesn’t mess with her? What breed is Mocha? Sometimes even birds of a lighter or darker color get singled out too? Plus those dog gone hormones get out of control.

Mocha is KC. That is why, when my wife refused to give up any more drakes, we gave George to Magnolia Ducks. I figured the smallest drakes gave everyone the best shot to live with wrong duck math.

My little Buff-Orpington drake »Erpelchen« was vibrating this afternoon when i fed some treats to the flock. I've seen this only with my grown up drakes so far before they started to have fun with the girls, but isn't that a bit early for him?

Sounds like your ducklings are racing to adulthood.

As said: That's kind of a gray area and as a permanent resident you are walking a thin line. You can still be refused entry into the U.S. at the border without telling you the reason why. And the residency can be withdrawn very easy, i just had a colleague who lost his residency for a DUI. (Ok he's an idiot! Don't drink and drive. Just don't!) He had 30 days to leave the country…
I really like the idea of a crossbow! Especially because it is silent, the duck-murderer will not know what hit.

I completely understand and honestly I would be extra careful as well. I know you will breathe a sigh of relief when you obtain your citizenship. And I am going to agree a crossbow sounds awesome and it is silent!

He tried to mount Nona this morning! Of course without success, but he grabbed her by the neck and tried to force her to the ground. After that he had a corkscrew dangling outside for a moment…

Waaayyy tooo early, little drakeling!
