Hi everyone
Joined this fab site/forum tonight because every time I search for information about my ducks I get directed here and always find lots of great answers and advice.
I had a duck as a child, which unfortunately fell prey to Mr Fox
....many years later....I recently took on foster mommy roll (for 2 weeks) for my aunts duck and chicken whilst she moved house.....fast forward 3 months and I still have Bobby-Girl (duck) unfortunately Buffy (the hen) died of old age
Looking after Bobby-Girl has re-ignited my love of having a duck and I have just bought 2 baby Aylesbury's - girlies I hope - lol (avatar pic is them - Betty - 4 weeks & Babs -3 weeks)
I am in the process now of creating a ducky paradise! and have sectioned off a third of my garden, which is a decent size, for the ducks (If you haven't gathered already the fostering of Bobby-Girl has now become a permanent adoption I think!) lol ...at the moment the babies are out in the run during the day but I bring them indoors at night until they are a few more weeks old as their own house is being built (courtesy of my pops) ....and Bobby-Girl free ranges all day long....and interferes terribly whilst I'm gardening!
I am also 'fostering' my aunts Guinea Pig (Candy) and am mommy to 5 cats of my own
Bella aka Mama Cat ...and her babies .....Dorothy aka Dotty
Ozzie
Dexter aka sexy dexy
BonBon aka Bonnie
and Tubbs....a stray that has decided its a nice place to squat.....2 years ago!
I have lots of questions about my ducky babies but will browse the forum and post in the relevant section
Chow for now
