Crash & Burn are very worn out babies... :D


<3 Too cute
 
I had one like that once, but it was maybe two weeks old when it started jumping out of a brooder box that had 12" walls. I'd hear a duckling screaming noise and go in to find it walking around and scoop it up, then I'd get into a room around 12 feet away and turn around and almost trip over it. It would look at me and say "PEEP!!!" and I told Scott I swear that duckling is mocking me. Most of the others did start trying to imitate it, but only two were successful. I never did figure out why they would do that and then complain about being out and away from their flockmates. We moved them to a brooder with 18" walls and they finally gave up on it because they kept crashing into the side trying to get out.

OMG< that's sooo true, they do complain when they are running around but yet they want to run around. Guess they just don't want to be out with out US being there body guards.. LOL
 
Thankyou learycow and Lacrystal for you comments on the bibbed. I'm amazed at all the color genetic variations and possibilities. I was gonna stick with just gray calls and white calls, but now these bibbed and pied birds are making my 'duck' addiction just that much more fun.

YES THEY DO..
 
I'd bet coon. Possum could do it but they would have eaten the duck or pigeon from the rear end to the front and cleaned the inside out. What did they eat off of them?

Raccoons, bit the heads off, that's where the most protein is, and they are excellent climbers.. they would go HIGH before they go low.
 
dont exclude skunks though they have the same habits as the racoon as the from the rears thing.

and skunks actually burrow under ground so couldnt it be a skunk.
I'm thinking the same thing, or a FOX, foxes will take a run however, if there's nothing around, they will just sit there and enjoy a meal. Foxes don't usually climb they dig
