Duck Addicts Anonymous (DAA)

[Everose]

I didn't mind the opossums being here as they eat any scraps I have but I keep reading about them attacking poultry.

I have an opossum too. He's a cute little turd.
So far my chickens and ducks are completely unaffected and no eggs are missing.
I also have like five or six Armadillos, those really tick me off because they have ruined my yard

Everything is welcome here as long as it minds it's own. I protect my critters in a safe run and coop, so I have no worries.

I do have a couple skunks that are currently living under the duck house though. They will be evicted soon.

My husband just offered to buy me another incubator.
DO I TAKE HIM UP ON IT?

Also how do I get my husband to do this lol he’s at the point where a bird in means a bird out until we move to a bigger space

Lol, I have no idea. It shocked me when he suggested it. I was trying to explain my conundrum to him because I have a friend I'm hatching some runner ducks for but I can't start and collecting for a couple weeks since I just separated my runners away from my other ducks. But my goose just started laying eggs yesterday and I can hardly stand letting those eggs go to waste.

Hi everyone, hope you are well.

Are there any Muscovy people in this thread? I ask because the Easter Hatch-Along set data for Muscovy ducks is the 3/12. Come sign up if you are setting eggs:
13th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-Along

Or just come by and say hi.

What planet do you live on? Yes! Duh.

I agree! They are really cute in their own way. I love to watch them. Anytime I have an old egg, I leave it out for the opossum.
We have moles and voles here and they're really messing up my yard, so I can relate. I don't think we have armadillos here. I remember reading an article some time ago about armadillos moving towards the eastern parts of the US. Now if I could only remember if I read this in real life or if it was in a dream

I’m panicking. There’s a weasel in the barn. A teeny tiny short-tailed weasel.

Any update? Is it gone?
