Mating practices (I have to ask!)

Ha! Since we're on taboo subjects, when we had a mated pair the clawfoot tub in my powder room was like the Honeymoon Suite at Niagra... it was the #1 spot for duck sexytime. We let them have bathtime in there before the pond was built. When they hit puberty my innocent son got an up-close lesson in the "birds and bees" while in there using the toilet one day. That was a memorable conversation. LOL.
 
Ha, ha!! OMG. Once when the kids were just getting started, our drake Nibbler was still figuring it all out... Anyway. He is on her back trying to get his footing when I walk in the bathroom, startling him... he falls off sideways onto his back with a comical "QUACK!"... corkscrew flopping in the breeze. I felt terrible, but never laughed so hard. Poor guy.

Ducky love would be easier to handle (as an observer) if the drakes didn't take their victory laps out of the pool and onto land with their dingles dangling!

Whoa. I always have to avert my eyes.

Well honestly, a stallion is worse!

Then there is the concern about prolapse and phallus prostration, and I find myself shaking my head to think that I need to be concerned about these little rear ends.

It's such a relief to see everyone's backside is A-O-K.

I do not tell most of my friends about this. But here, we all know it's part of the territory. Where else can you even ask about these things? Okay, maybe a vet. Maybe.

And to think I was completely embarrassed for starting this thread

When I got my first duck last summer (he was rescue) we thought it was a girl. I didn't know about voice sexing. I knew NOTHING about ducks. We got another duck to keep "her" company and I must have walked out to check on them right after the deed because I saw what I thought was a worm dangling out of the butt. I got concerned but I noticed the worm got sucked up inside her. I thought, "Oh great, how am I going to pull that worm out?" I did some research on types of worms in ducks and stumbled upon a picture of a drake's anatomy. WOW. Glad I didn't try to pull the "worm" out!

Oh, and our five year old daughter saw the ducks mating and said, "Oh are they playing duck duck goose?" Yep. They sure are sweetie :)
