My Love Affair With Ducks...

[Mimi13]

I would like to say that Ralphie is the one that started this mess, but I know better. It most likely was Petey. No doubt about it!

I tried to fix the crack in their cheap blue pool with a piece of waterbed mattress vinyl and Flex Seal. I let it set two whole days to make sure the stuff ‘cured.’ Yeah, it didn’t work. Ran to town on Saturday to get another bee feeder and came back to a horrific sight. It took me just a minute to realize what had happened.

I am convinced now that ducks will and can get into anything! The vinyl was actually pulled loose and laying in the bottom of the pool.

Too bad I can’t blame it on Ralphie!

And so it begins, today she would like to blame Ralphie..

Next week she will think it was Ralphie, a week later and she will know it was Ralphie.

Ralphies are use to being blamed for things we don’t do.
Ralphies are perfect and that offends the imperfects in the world.

They will always try to pull us Ralphies down!

Oh good gravy! That is hilarious. As if she didn’t already have a proper nest. She certainly went to great lengths to get the “perfect spot!”

Oh no, never will I place blame on the innocent, especially an innocent duck. However, in this instance there is no innocence, on any duck’s part. They were all involved.

So, if Ralphie wasn’t the leader, he went wrong when he decided to “follow the leader!” Dumb duck!

Ralphie Dux was trying to talk the others out of doing it. He tried as hard as he could.

Ralphie Dux was innocent!

Maybe!

If Ralphie Dux needs a lawyer let me know.

Every morning the ducks always follow me to the chicken run to let the birds out. They wait patiently until the chickens pile out and then head back toward their lot. This morning I remembered to make a video.

BTW, somehow the ducks are slowly removing the Flex Seal from their beaks and breast feathers.

Peaches is just 10 weeks old and is already suffering with a pretty bad limp. Yesterday I thought she was favoring it a little and I looked it over and found nothing. This evening I noticed she has a significant limp. Once again, this time I brought her inside, I checked her foot, thinking bumblefoot, and still found nothing. Also, there was no swelling or heat in her foot or leg. Are ducks prone to lameness in their feet/legs?
