Duck Videos Thread!

Sounds like a uncomfortable way to lay! I haven't seen any of my ducks lay yet, so who knows how they do it!

Here is an older video (previously posted) of an easy egg laying (also from security cam). I feel a little bad because she is no longer with us, but it was kind of funny...

At first I thought, "oh she is a bad mother for laying her egg out where it has no chance of survival", then I saw her totally trample it! I'm guessing she never raised any ducklings?

No, we don't let them raise ducklings anyway, but what happened was I found the egg in the yard and it looked fine - not that unusual. I picked it up and it had a hole in the bottom. It looked like it had been attacked by a magpie, but they always leave the hole on the top. The egg otherwise looked unmolested. That was a time I had to use the cameras to find out what had happened. Snow laid it, then punted a hole in it and the hole happened to roll to the bottom of the egg as it came to a rest. As I said recently on other parts of this site, those cameras are handy for figuring out what happened when things don't seem to make sense.

Some of you may remember me telling you about our crazy duck, Noir, who shot an egg out the front while in the house. It even prompted me to use this for an avatar for a while:


Well this evening someone laid an egg while I was taking care of the ducks water. I went to the security cams and this is what I got. She doesn't quite shoot it out the front like she did for us, but you can see that she definitely leans that way... Silly duck!

Quality isn't great, it is just a little chunk cropped out of the security cam footage and blown up so it is more comfortable to watch. (Not that Noir looks that comfortable).

That was hilarious. She did look very penguin bird as she walked and did that. See?? Here's my scientific theory fact coming from somebody who has a business degree. Not a science degree but I know what I am talking about anyway because I love burbs.

Noir is genetically a Runner duck bewrd with Mallard duck in her not Muscovy but she is still related to Muscovy because of the webs and bills and innards. She is part penguin because she is birdish and penguin and a water burd like a penguin and again the webs. And both are somewhat flightless so there is the connection exactly. Yes. The genome of exactness. That being said and I know some of these sentences don't make sense but these species of burd diverged somewhere somehow depending upon their environments like adaptation and whatnot. But to the core they are all birb. Now take my teensy tiny 13 gram zebra finches. I catch glimpses of call duck in Jibby because sometimes he'll have his cheeks all puffed out and the crown of his head puffed up and he looks call. Then Little Bit my hen will pencil out and look like a Runner and certain positions she looks like a dinosaur which is a whole nuther topic I won't bother with on here. Yet…...

Maybe you should become the worlds first Anatiropoligist (a portmanteau of anatidae and anthropologist) meaning you dig up the history of ducks and geese and burds with webs. This would be a great career move for you

So true. I would absolutely love that new career move immensely. Believe me, it would be way more stimulating and fun than my boring job I have now. Also, I think people would believe me more if I had Ph.D behind my name instead of BS. HAHAHA. BS. Where did that one get me? Oh, can't regret that. We all make choices….

Yes. Research and origination of all thing burd. and WEBS.

Anatidae. I've never heard of that word before. Cool.

Chuck is a duck that was raised by a chicken, so he think he's a chicken. He does bathe, but never hangs out with the other ducks. Here he is following his girl around.

Chuck is poor confused drake... Hopefully he never tries to mate her. It is cute how he follows her around though.
