Pekin Duck Club!

[casportpony]

 
My buddy would catch little frogs and feed them to his WH and Pekin and they LOVED them.  Up until then I never knew ducks were carnivorous.  Now I know they are actually omnivores.  But live animals?  Amazing.

I found a mouse nest in the storage building we keep ladders etc and when I picked it up these tiny mice fell out on the ground the ducks had them eaten before I could even blink. This was shortly after I started keeping ducks I was pretty surprised.

Mine go nuts for mice and rat pinkies.

Another stupid question, when we are talking about our husbands, what does dh stand for?

Lily and JoJo spent the morning running under the real tall grassy plant things in front of our house. Jojo has always stayed in back of the house, I guess he let Lily talk him into wandering. My dh actually freaked when he didn't see them and took off outside yelling for jojo, lol, and he says he doesn't care for the ducks. Anyhow, tomorrow we are going to the local tsc poultry swap and seeing if there might happen to be another female for my pair. I'm so paranoid jojo is going to over mate Lily so maybe I'll get another if there is one. It was actually my Hubby's idea! I moved them to the basement now so they got more room. They only seem to mate when they are in the pool, is that common? Or if they are in the bath tub. I've never seen it happen any where else, still always in water. Maybe he's trying to drown her.
