This thread is so good for me right now. We are presently trying to deal with a flogging Drake. We raised 10 for my FIL to restock his tanks and yard. Of the 10 most are so sweet and come when they are called. One drake has now taken it upon himself to try to push us humans around. My FIL wouldn't approve of sending this drake across the yard with a big boot, so I have instructed all the kids to pick him up and hold him tight and go on about your business. You see, they love to come visit our side of the ranch in the morning during chore time. So far it seems to have lessened his attacks. My oldest has plans though. He likes to go after you while you are on horse back and did so with her the very first time a couple of weeks ago. She was riding her pony and he even went after the poor pony's legs. Thank God she sees the duck as a pesky critter and not a booger. She says next time she is getting off and picking up that drake and taking him riding. I told her I will run for the camera for that one. LOL I am hoping we win this battle as the soup pot isn't an option for us. Got to respect my FIL.
