Last year Erpelchen, my Buff Orpington drake, pushed down the plastic fence around the tomato plants and let the ducks in. I can't remember how many times i grabbed him and threatened with the pressure cooker!Well thank you so much. I try, but.....
I will say my dang ducks have stripped some of my planted that my chickens never even looked at. They also managed to wiggle underneath the netting I have up to keep the dogs and chickens out of my flower beds. The chickens have sometimes flown over into them, but the beds are a bit too crowded for safe landings and quick hop overs aren’t easy either. The ducks though, hmmmph, they’ve just plowed under it. I’ve scared the bejeesus out of them and also tightened up the netting, but I had to put boards and old long empty flower pots alongside the netting to really keep them out. My ducks just act like they own the place! How dare them.
The subject matter was slightly off and very interesting to say the least and my response to one of your posts was edited (first and only time that’s happened.)

which is normal. When Peaches did her thrust and grunt and fell to the side, Ralphie thought he’d better jump in on the action and he did. But, what he didn’t know was Peaches was right behind them.
I felt so sorry for him. Even though I saw no blood, I know it HAD to hurt. He immediately jumped out of the pool and began shaking his tail feathers. (I guess that aids in retraction.
) He had a bit of trouble.
