My Love Affair With Ducks...

[WannaBeHillBilly]

Those kind of threads seem to pop up here and there from time to time and most of them just fade out.

As we were just talking about incubating eggs with body heat, watch this:

I know it. I plan on getting back to it! I had surgery on my finger this past Tuesday and I’ve kinda been away from everything. It’s like when ONE part of your body hurts, the whole thing hurts kind of deal!

Just so y’all know, ducks can bite...like a shark too! Just look at this, four days after surgery. It looks terrible! And it hurts! Dang duck!

Not really! This is no duck bite. I had a cyst (from arthritis) that kept getting bigger and hurt like the devil.

For a moment you got me!
That looks terribly painful!!!
And those stitches look they've been made by a butcher. Your finger looks like a roulade…
Hope you'll be better soon!

Such a beautiful duckling, but the man was a tad weird a couple of times. It was fun to watch.

I was hoping someone would fall for it! And I’m not gonna lie, it hurts every now and then.

My doctor is an orthopedic surgeon so I guess he doesn’t care what it’s gonna look like. Luckily I’m too old to care either!

I recognize this bite pattern!

This is a bite from a genus; undead, species Latin name; teenage immortuos

@Mimi13 but if one of those miniature raptors got ahold of that finger I bet I’d hear you howling up here in Illinois!!!

I’m gonna need some egg pictures and updates too since I’m having to live vicariously through you still

Okay, call me dumb, but I have no idea what was just said!

Just hang on my friend! Some videos are uploading as I type...very slowly I might add, but they are. Remember, I live in the boondocks.

Also, you are so right about hearing me howl from Alabama to Illinois. The dang thing is hurting now more than ever. I think I caused it though, and hope I didn’t do irreparable damage. The other night I used Hibiclens to clean it after a long day of exposure. Well, it seems as though the Hibiclens has caused it (the raw edge of the incision) to begin sloughing off, or dying. Dang it!

Here I go, up to the noisiest part of the property. My goonies are LOUD!

Everyone led me to believe you only had to hunt for eggs if your ducks weren’t confined to a small area. Weeeeeelll now, that isn’t necessarily the case. I find myself hunting for them everyday.

I found them, I found them.

And here they are!
