No, they don't.


Because they're extinct.

Hard to argue with a thirty year old's conviction.

My husband, ever the nerd, said of course they don't, they are like chickens they have a cloaca and don't have an a-n-a-l(won't let my type this) sphincter so they can't fart. So you can tell your 6 year old he's right.

I disagree---As we know, all sorts of horrible things come out of the cloaca, including any gas produced by intestinal bacteria.

Just because they can't play the Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy from Company B, it doesn't mean they CAN'T fart.​

Well it all depends on the definition of "fart" then, doesn't it?

... And then there were 3. (ducklings)

She finally came "this morning" (ie, just now) to pick up the ducklings. I'm not sure that 1:30 PM will ever be my definition of morning. I've already shoveled the snow from the chicken run and the house stoop, cleaned the coop, refilled the feeders and waterers and calcium dishes, cleaned the ducks, cleaned the bathrooms, did laundry, vacuumed, mopped, cleaned and restarted the wood stove, hauled wood up, did the dishes... it's time for bed now, right?

I'm

loving this thread! My nephew, when he was about 5 (he's 32 now), gave me a very serious look and said: "Farts are evaporated poop."

Which color ducks did you keep?

 

[superchemicalgirl]

I kept one of each color: yellow (should be a pekin or a harlequin cross), the chipmunk (rouen cross) and the black one (black swedish).

It was a hard decision. The yellow duckings were the ones with personalities the size of Texas, always looking at me impishly and acting like loons. But I wanted variety and color, so I went with one of each.

Wish I lived on a farm and could have ducks.
