Duck Addicts Anonymous (DAA)

I flip flop also on color, as long as it is on acceptable poultry.

There are people out there (not me) that insist that Muscovies aren’t ducks. Does that make them more acceptable?

Muscovies are parasitic predators crossed between a turd worm and rat.

It was because of an attack by a Muscovy, that I started to realize dux are evil and out to eliminate mankind and their belongings.

Lotsa snow, but a decent temperature. Everyone bathed, and I heard my first “chirp chirp!” of the year from my white Muscovy. It’s only early February, but the increase in daylight is being noticed.

The eye wing is amazing on these two! I need to look to them while I do my eye makeup next time

Y'all, that damn hawk was back today. It's probably been back before now, but I actually saw it spying on my Calls I was able to run around like a loud annoying crazy person (just like my normal self ) and it flew off. About an hour later I heard my chickens screaming. I went to them and there that a$$hole was standing on the ground next to Zelda's, my Svarthöna hen, coop. I only have a pair of this breed and this flat faced jerk has caused injuries to both of them. In mush mouths defense, I suspect Zelda freaked out and ran into the welded wire, cutting herself between the beak and her face so technically, she probably injured herself in the freak out. I started throwing pine cones, sticks, anything and fussing it out and it just looked at me like "You stupid" and flew up to a branch. I continued so it flew up a little higher and then a little higher, way out of my throwing reach. Have any of y'all dealt with these things bothering your ducks or chickens? My ducks didn't seem to notice it I am stressing bad! Any deterrent tips other than just locking everyone up, which I'm doing but it still won't give up

He looks like he's running things in that flock. He is one massive handsome guy! What does Charlie think about him? Looks like they're getting along so well

It's amazing how much duck pictures can soothe an overly stressed mind

They get along great! Zero issues. Charlie doesn't mind him at all.

I don’t have any, I’m way too busy with my 19 chickens and (now) 5 bunnies. Also, I am homeschooled but next year am going to a public school so I’ll be very busy. Plus, we really don’t have the expenses because the vet bills for the bunnies this year are crazy! I’ve spent over $400 on total in the last 2 months! also we don’t have any space for them right now. Anyway, I was really hoping to get call ducks but I don’t think this is the right time.

She's a runner. She's got an interesting pattern. Reminds me of a dappled gray horse.
