Bummer.

Aw I'm sorry to hear that, Orps

I about ate Heimlich the other day... He got one of the muscovy babies by the wing and yanked several emerging wing feathers out. Poor thing bled quite a bit. He's been pretty pushy with the little ones, but he's getting rough with them now.

So I managed to catch Heimlich, held him down, ready to call him dinner.. only to realize that there is no way I can use my usual method of dispatch on this beast. He weighs as much as my dang dog

There is no way I can pick him up by his feet and hold him upside down. So, he got pardonned... for now. Fatty.



Little ones are SO pretty. I actually ended up with all sorts of interesting colors. Those are mom and dad in the picture.. and I got lavender ducklings.

Also seem to have some barring on a couple.


I did manage to peek at the other nest, nothing smells off and nothing looks bad as of now. Who knows? I'm going to be drowning in muscovy ducklings...

You have some pretty ducks Tomtom.

You have some pretty ducks Tomtom.

Thanks. I need to get some better pics.. might actually be possible now that they don't run away from me all the time.

Quote: They are very cute. If you get over run you could try to post them on some of the fb pages or craigslist. I wound up giving my ducks away.

 

[Orps]

Oh no! Glad you didn't eat Heilhich. If you did you would not get little Heimliches. And littles Heimliches are so cute
