Kat’s Journey into Chicken Keeping

[cavemanrich]

Maybe you should consider switching breeds to Pekings . Those don't fly.

@LaFemmeKatia did you find your ducks?

I missed Caturday, so...
Not my cat (She’s a friend’s) but she is so cute so I took her pic while she was sleeping.

Our ducks finally came home! They filled up with food
and treats, and left again.

Lol. That was yesterday.
But they are here again today now.
They are flying a lot lately, something they really didn’t do all summer. I mean flying over the house and across the field and through the trees. I hope they don’t plan to fly (further) South for the winter.
With all this air travel, I notice that one is missing. One of my males. I haven’t seen him in a few days. I am still hoping he shows up. He’s the non-dominant male. The Big Boss is here with the six girls.
They didn’t fight with each other. The non-dominant drake just followed the leader. Maybe he is tired of being The Big Boss’s wing-man.

Have you considered clipping the flight feathers??? I never had ducks, so not knowledgeable on clipping those. I do know about clipping pigeon wings. I have clipped chicken wings, but only when I got new adult chickens and they were not yet used to my coop. Did not want the chickens flying over fence.

Hope your missing male shows up

I hope he makes his way back home and that the others don't fly away for the winter! I didn't think that domestic ducks would do that, but that's not saying much as I've never kept them!

I was just telling Mrs BY Bob about your ducks yesterday. I'm so glad they came home. Even it was just for a visit.
