My Love Affair With Ducks...

[WannaBeHillBilly]

You can let them have bath tub time Mimi just start out with warm water up to the tops of their legs and make sure to get them out before the water cools. Then just pat dry and put them back under heat.

Please give me a warning b4 posting that video!!!
I need to open the duck-poop jar before hitting the play button!
Pompom Duck was again sitting on her nest this afternoon and my resistance is weakening…

Want me to give you the injections? I have always wanted to shoot a person, instead of just animals..

Sapphire, are you starting to get to know Ralphie yet? He’s a hoot and an old fart who likes to make us duck lovers (and Southerners) miserable! But we shall prevail!

Back at cha Ralphie!

Yep. What WannaBeHillBilly said. That wording sounds... violent.
(My day? Oh, I shot myself five times. Once at breakfast, another at lunch, then at dinner and then dessert, plus my basal insulin shot! Four shots quick-acting insulin and then my basal. Five shots).
Edit: Okay, should I just, like, delete the small type? People seem to be very... shocked by it. Sorry.

Here are the pics from our first field trip...an outing in the back yard...where the wild things are!

(I selected 26 from the myriad of pics I took, but I’ll spare y’all all of them. Except Ralphie! I’m gonna make him look at every single duck picture I take!)

This is little Twinkle, the puny one. She looks so good.

The ducklings’ reaction to a bunch of chickens that had gathered to look at the ‘oddballs.’

Another picture of Twinkle drinking. At least she no longer falls over while getting a sip!

Meet Latte, the Fawn & White Runner. Because of the darker coloring on her face, once she got wet she reminded me of Groucho Marx. Oh those eyebrows! (More of her later.)

Silly Latte/Groucho!

On the next field trip I will have to get more cute pictures of Peaches and Quinny. I feel like I dissed them by not getting more of them. No worries! I will, duckies, I will!

I hope y’all didn’t yawn more than twice looking at my babies!

URGHH! Yawning?! - I was just able to open the poop-jar and stick my nose inside. - There's an e-mail from IdealPoultry sitt'n in my mail-program claiming:

Be strong HillBilly! Stay strong!
