Has anyone bred Pekin and welsh harlequin ducks together??

They are adorable little ones!

Thanks. Emmie & Max did a good job. Might just be me but I see a face on the back of her head. (One of the "twins".)

You are also very lucky to have the wonderful support of your husband! I can't imagine you going through this without his loving help.

So are you going to take Joy to the grocery today? It is really cold here today but we're a long way from you. I always take the dogs for a walk after letting the ducks out and cleaning their pens and I was cold!

Does your Walmart, Kroger or whatever you have down there have where you can order the groceries online and just go pick them up. I don't think it costs anything either. Maybe you could do that if it's available and be back home fast.

I was literally Just thinking about that. Came outside to walk the dog and brrrrr... it is a bit cold. I'm trying to find a way to make her a little sweater. I beleive Walmart has online order, but about 35-40minutes away. Cant leave her that long.

Very sorry for the loss of your brother too

Thank you....it was tough. He was only a block from home. Seems to always work that way, huh

I really like how you describe little Joy! She sure doesn’t sound like she is ready to give up on life and sounds like she def isn’t suffering. If she was in pain she wouldn’t be eating with gusto and climbing etc and trying so hard! You’ll know when she gives up if she does. Sure doesn’t sound like she’s ready or will ever be. I apologize for asking those hard question about the possibility of caring for her if she is always going to be handicapped. I was not trying to say she should be put down I just wanted to hear how you felt about it. And sounds to me your determined no matter what. I am with you life is precious and no matter, she is a spunky little thing that sure has made an impact in y’all lives and ours too.

Thank you. And you're questions weren't tough at all....its reality. Just hard watching her try so hard & be stuck or on her back, upside down, sideways. But I'm hoping her little legs will get moving. Also, when we bend her legs, the top of her legs that meet her body....they bend about 85% to her stomach, but not sure if shes fighting it or they just wont go further. Almost there, just not all the way.

Wouldnt it be awesome to once every so often have a huge BYC gathering. Pick a state & go. I would love to meet everyone.

So...I'm looking for a little, lightweight walker. This one is great and we use it, but I'd also like to try one a little different. The Barbie baby walkers are too small, the baby doll walkers are too big, so if anyone ever comes across one that is right in the middle, please let me know. Thanks so much!!!

I do too! How cool is that!

What do you think about Joy not pooping as much as she was the last couple days? Would her absorbing her yolk cause her to poop more? Think it's ok? Shes still pooping, just not as often.

I have no clue but did you weigh her today?

Guess what!!! I had my hand under her belly doing her exercises and walking. She ended up slowly bending her legs to her belly and sat like normal (legs forward under belly). Big step.!!!
