Fall Dumped Ducklings. Not a Recipe!

82 my lands that's summer here.

Wind is blowing the front in here already, we started with 51 and the high today is suppose to be 47 figure that one out!

Y’all are talking winter storm while we are stuck at 82 this afternoon and the humidity of Houston.

I do miss the winters in Houston a lot! - The summers, not so much…

 

[quackiemama]

I do NOT miss Texas summers whatsoever! We are getting the strong winds today and the ducks are not happy. Everybody hold on tight we have gusts coming this afternoon and evening that are supposed to be 50-70 mph. 🌬 and then the snow starts Saturday morning.

 

[WannaBeHillBilly]

It is windy the whole day, gusts up to 30Km/h (18mph), it almost blew me off the bridge today when i drove back from Rural King. Starting tomorrow morning we will get frost.

Why? - Limpy got several last year when he was glowing and i bet those saved his life.

Limpy glows?? In the dark? Can he lead Santa's sleigh?

He was glowing in the infrared-spectrum! - Believe it or not, a duck can develop fever too when they have an infection! - Don't know if that is bright enough to be used as a sleigh headlight, though.
They start to drool and pant and do feel hotter to the touch than usual (i have not inserted a thermometer into Limpy's butt). And a little acetaminophen helps them in the same way as it helps us humons.

I bet it would be a sh*tstorm if you tried insertion.

Especially after the pill business. To most of the rest of the flock, @WannaBeHillBilly is the provider of food and good stuff. To Limpy he's that weird creature who sometimes tortures him and if he could talk he'd say, "Just stay away from both ends of me. I'll decide what does in and out of my orifices, thank you much."

Limpy knows very well that we (my wife and i) saved his life last year when he suddenly was unable to walk. Sometimes when he is too exhausted after a long summer day he just rasps in "his" pool and wants to be picked up and carried into the duck house, a task that i gladly perform for him. - And if there is a need to insert another pill into one end, i assume that even though he would not like it, in the end he knows that it is for his best so he would not be mad at me for long. Maybe just to the moment when he gets some meal-worms…

Mealworms cure all hard feelings in ducks. Limpy's a lucky boy to have you.
