Wow. It's been a while since I posted here! Well, Naughty is being... Naughty. We put the pekin ducks back in with the muscovies, and Naughty decided to pluck the wing feathers out of the Pekin drake!! Not good, seeing as they were still pretty vascular. we had a young Scovy hen last year that we kept (Kate) due to her show quality, she can't breed with Naughty though, because he's her dad. Today we went to a Poultry Swap in Beaver Dam, and went looking for a Japanese Bantam pullet chicken actually, LOL! And we came home without a Bantam Japanese pullet, but came home instead with a BLUE Muscovy Duck! (Female!) She's really sweet and melllow. The shavings in our crate had her sneezing periodically on the way home, but they are now adjusting. Here's a few quick pics that i managed to snap after my mom and I clipped her wings! I am Not sure on what I want to name her as of yet. But I'm hoping to take her to fair.

I'll get some better pictures of her later.

They just left them alone after putting dog food out it them to eat instead , and when one does try to mess with my ducks I set out little traps like sardines but with this Zatarans spice stuff that makes a humans mouth light up on fire with jut a pinch, so I hide the sardines in the woods and sprinkle the juice everywhere so te predators can smell it then only on the fish I sprinkle the spices and when they eat to mug of it they can dehydrate and have to get water immediantly or tey degydrate and die , but that's only when they start messing with my ducks , so they usually leave them alone now an just eat the dog food

I never really browse this forum, only just saw this thread! Here is my rescue duck, Whistles:







He's come a long way from when we first got him from the produce store just two and a half weeks ago...

Sampy when I see Whistles now it is hard for me to believe it's only been such a short time as 21/2 weeks he is amazing. and so are you.
