Da' Cute and Cuddly Call Duck thread!

There's nothing wrong with letting the duck do it. Calls are usually pretty good moms.

I know it will be a while before I need to make a decision, I just like weighing all my options in advance. It's awesome to be able to come here and get advice from those who have expirience, so thank you so much!

If you really, really want babies, your best chance is to let the mom do it if she will. Hatch rates tend to be considerably higher that way.

One of the problems with some of ours is that they will set on two eggs. They stop laying when they start setting, and I don't want one of my females committed to two eggs and basically out of commission for three months. Everybody around here's got a job!

Well if he were beak-tapping or ANYTHING then I'd accept that as a valid excuse.

Also guys, good news today! I ave Bean some coconut oil and fasted her overnight, no water, nothing. This morning there was NO SMELL at all coming out of her! She's not internally marinating in soy sauce anymore! Sorry chinese restaurants!

My thoughts exactly. Ducks are built to be sturdy, even the teeny ones. Wobbles KNOWS he can get away with it, and much like Kaine is to Tevye, he's bullying the heck out of the "inferior" male, despite the fact that he's literally 200 times lighter than Hils is, LOL!

Tevye is heavier than Kaine too. I wish Tevye was 200 times heavier than Kaine. That would put him at around 1000 lbs! We could ride the fluff-head down the street.

We would need a sign to be street legal: WARNING... Stay back 100 feet... Explosive discharge possible!

Let's be real. If Tevye were rideable, there's no way the big galoot would ever learn proper traffic etiquette. You'd try to ride him to work only to wind up one county over in a cornfield somewhere.

Actually at the rate Tevye normally walks (when no one is chasing him), by the end of the day we would probably have made the end of the driveway, then have to turn around and head for home. (He walks like the wolf in theTex Avery cartoon "Billy Boy"):

I really, really do want babies! I suppose we could let her have a go at it. I would want to take them shortly after they hatch though and that just seems mean. I don't know. I really want to hand raise them. My husband wants to incubate. I am so completely surprised by this man lately. He wanted nothing to do with ducklings and goslings. Now he absolutely loves ours and wouldn't have it any other way!

She will be very unhappy with you if you take her babies away.

Don't worry I couldn't do it... I'm a mama too. I think I just realized I will have to incubate.
