Well, we have her home.. and she is doing really well.
Been giving her the medicine, and she will go back next week to have the sutures removed.

I'm so glad this whole ordeal is behind us!
On Sunday we will be driving 1 1/2 hrs in hopes to bring home a few more ducks

I will get some pictures up soon.. will try to take a few tonight if I have time.

Well, we picked up 3 new Ducks today! 2 Females, 1 Male.. here are a bunch of pics!!!!


This is their Enclosure:

The top of it:

The inside:

This is Judy Duck--You cant tell her wing is missing in the pic:

Here you can see all of them fairly well..
All the way on the left in Brown and White is QUACKEY
The All Black Headed one is DUCK DUCK
The all White Duck is GOOSE
The Black Back w/White Head is JUDY DUCK Again
The Speckled one black/white with lots of red on his beak is SALVADOR DUCKY--the Male

Again:
On the left Black/White is Judy Duck
In front of her in Brown/White is Quackey (her sister)--these are the original 2 Girls.
In front of her in all White is Goose
In front of her Black Head, Black/White Body is Duck Duck
Behind all of them, speckled is Salvador Ducky--if you look close you can see a tinge of the green in his black feathers--there is also some purple, but cant see it in the picture.

A few more pics just for fun:

My hand trying to catch them as they get away from me

I cant get over how Gorgeous Salvador Ducky is!!!

Cool! Is that the new enclosure? It looks reasonably hawk proof now, or at least it doesn't look easy for a hawk or owl to get in there.

I don't know why people wouldn't be allowed to keep ducks in an enclosure like that in a standard yard. I think cities need to loosen their rules on keeping fowl, especially for a few ducks or chicken hens. I know of dog pens and enclosures that are much larger, are more messy and smell worse than the setup you have there.

Yes, that is their new enclosure.. the top is galvanized steel hardware cloth that has been stapled to the wood that makes the sides.. and then more wood is nailed on top to make it even stronger and to keep us from hurting ourselves on the edges of the hardware cloth.. So, Yup, hawk and owl proof definitely!

I just got home this evening From having spine and hip fusion surgeries and my husband came in saying my Male Turkeys wing may be broke. So i didn't care how much pain i am having . I went and looked. I was devastated he was swallon retaining fluid. I called my local vet and sent photos. I also am Broke. I get that. I still see my cancer drs . And spinal surgies 3 times in last 3 months. Another on the way . But i have carecredit in case of a emergency . And to me this was one. The vet came out tonight made 5 holes to drain fluids. Said watch him with meds for 12 hours . Give him at least 12 hours. Answer will be Put him down. Or have his wing amputated... he is my 7 month old. We think 2 things may of happened. Our rooster beat his rear. Or he got bite by a cooper head. The vet charged me next to nothing . I will go without to make sure my furbabies and feather babies have it all. So pleaae dont take it among yourself see if a vet locally can work with you. A farm vet that is. Praying for your feather baby duck.
