My Love Affair With Ducks...

[duluthralphie]

Since this is a love for ducks thread,

falsehood!!

This is a thread where we discuss the evil dux and their minion servants.

I am a reformed waterfowl owner, myself having owned geese for 5 weeks. They are cute to start with... but

Now I make it my mission to preach the evil of Dux.

Btw your first photo set me back, at first glance I thought you had a snake around your neck squeezing the life out of you and the Little Dux in training.

Yes, yes, I want to see.

Aha, I just knew there was something German looking about that name. I am proud of myself. And Hillbilly, I think you have posted the word for ‘duck’ in German before...and I remembered!

Remember the video "Aaaalle Enten gehen jetzt schlafen!" (Aaaall ducks go sleeping now!)

I had a hen raise 2 baby ducks, and when they saw her again as an adult, I saw one elbow the other, (look it is mom!) then they both did the head nod bouncy bow towards her, they were showing respect.

No duck ever forgets her/his mom, their nest- or brooder-mates. My flock of 40 usually divides into three groups going semi-separate ways, except for the latest addition, the 13 wonky-ducks who sometimes go their very separate ways, like last night…

Since this is a love for ducks thread, I feel like I need to post more "proud dad" duck photos: Norbie, Anka, and Jessica

You definitely live precariously letting the duckling snuggle down in your scarf...right under your nose at that!

I've had my eyeballs pecked before (even had to go to Dr.) But I love them... so much... And Norbie (the one in the scarf) didn't have clutchmates, so she was with me as often as possible.

You can't compare Geese to Ducks! It's like comparing an M1 Abrahams to a Toyota Corolla.

Semi true. Geese are high class dux,

... where the duck is the M1 Abrahams, in regards of firing power at the rear-end…
