My beautiful, naughty babies! 2 Aylesbury ducklings (?), 2 Rouen duck - females, 1 Pekin duck - female, 1 African goose female, 3 Chinese goslings (? genders yet)

I’m just catching up on the thread guys so bear with me. I LOVE that first pic with the two cuties in the metal pail!

Thank you! Those are my Welshies. They are my absolute favorite standards ducks. So calm, sweet, and gorgeous. I'm going to let them hatch babies this spring... I can hardly wait.

My girls on google earth. I probably should have zoomed on more. Their pen I used to herd them into at night for safety is in the pecan trees on the right side of the red circle.

I wonder if I spent tons of time with them when they were younger if they would bond with me more and still come when I called them in at night when they are older?

Nice place. You know that pond has been the down fall of many a duck owner. They just seem to not want to get out once they find them. Have you ever tried to lure them with treats of some kind. Do you feed them at their house?

We have a mountain river down below us and that’s where I got my first Muscovy no way could I let my flock go down there we have so many predators that are on 4 legs and hawks an Eagles in the sky in the day time and large owls at night.

Thanks. I was feeding them in their pen until they refused to go in one day. I’m wondering if I moved the pen closer to the edge of the water and put fencing out into the water from their access point. They may not have very much dry ground during our flooding times. Of course I would have to wear waders to close their door at night. Lol
