Thats all i do, ive read you can force em to learn ur not a threat but i use a wire covered platform to inspect feets, and they "handle" well, i can send em to any part of the 100 ft long duck yard...i jus leave em to be lay my eggs
:
could that really be the cause? Did u ever check temps on that date? An odd duck there
Of course! Them aint eatn fish though and ive already got too many pets... Im tryn to learn livestock. Yall r lucky im not followin Dans suit and postin 100 pics of calves. Missed my best auction (profit) oppurtunity of the year
I prefer not forcing them either... now they feel comfortable walking close and 'talking' to me and that's enough for me... plus, they learn if I do have to pick them up it's for a reason and they deal with it well...
Oh I see! Interesting... I'd probably panic and grab the eggs, but that's where experience would make the difference.
Kinda like watching a drake grab a hen, and thinking that he's hurting her, when she's really enjoying it!
Exactly... and no way to tell if they'll do well or not til they try... if they don't, then they won't be allowed to brood... but ducks are way different than chickens when brooding... there's a reason you can give chickens duck eggs, but not ducks chicken eggs...
