One of these days…

[WannaBeHillBilly]

Hi friends,

do you too sometimes have one of these days where (of course only in your fantasy) would like to grab one of your ducks by the throat and start turning slowly… ?

I swear next time i' gonna grab Limpy by the throat and …

Told my wife a hundred times not to feed meal worms to the ducks after five pm (sounds like in the Gremlin's movie eh?). If they have their late meal worms, they don't want to go inside.
It was raining on and off the whole day here, so the "grass" between the house and the duck-burg has turned into slippery mud.
At 8:30pm i cut an iceberg salad, dropped it into a bowl with luke-warm water garnished with some meal-worms and went out to collect the duckies. Nona and Erpelchen came running immediately, had their test bite and then followed me like little pet-dogs to the duck house. Followed by all other ducks except Limpy who sat rasping in the duck pool.
All ducks inside the house i walked up the hill to drag Limpy out of the water who insisted he wants to sleep in the pool tonight. Do you know that grown up ducks can do that "topedo" thing too? They just don't torpedo through the water but create a huge splash that will soak you. The ground around the pool is muddy and slippery and in the end i was crawling on all four to reach into the pool and drag the drake out. Not risking any further escape i carried him back to the duck house, where the other's had just gulped down the salad and started to run back out again.
Threw Limpy into the duck house and herded the others back inside, everybody was in when i heart "Rasp! Raaasp! Raaasp!" from behind - Limpy! In the pool again!
ImGonnaGrabYouByDaThroat - Drake! Same procedure: Me again on all four crawling around the pool, Limpy splashing and emptying the dirty pool water all over me, i swear all the other ducks were standing at the door laughing at me! Finally i got him and while i carried him down to the duck house i felt something warm soaking into my shirt… Thank's Limpy! That shirt needed a thorough cleaning anyways…

So that's my story for today, have you experienced one of these days too?

You sure make duck ownership sound glamorous! Can't wait till my 2 Runners start running!

I pictured myself in a similar situation tonight as I was cleaning up their water buckets and pool in their slippery, slimy, stinky mud run. It would be so easy to lose footing and go down. Get the hose, strip down and hope nobody drives by and sees you!

Well your story is hilarious. I feel your pain. And yes they were laughing at you...
Up until lately I have been able to get my girls to go back into their room easily in the morning with either peas or fresh dug worms and snails. Loo stays close behind to make sure she gets the most and the best pick. Lily however turns a sharp right and waddles off with her silly little poof on top of her stubborn head and runs back out to her little water tub in the yard. By the time I heard her to the room Loo has eaten all the good stuff. It's becoming a morning ritual ugh! I leave for work late and dirty. She is lucky she's so cute

Last summer I had 2 Magpie drakelets that were broody raised...

EVERY single night, I would have to chase them for about 20-25 minutes until I could finally get them in their pen. It was terrible. And yes, it did make me want to grab them by the neck and...
