I Am SOOOOO P.O.ed! We are watching my grandma's mini schnauzer ( white one pictured ) for two weeks. Ive made sure that everytime I have the ducklings out of the brooder they are in a metal rabbit cage wrapped in my white corral.

Well We took all our dogs to the Gma's house since my younger sister was having a party . I put the ducklings all in the corral so they would have more room.

We go and pick the dogs up and I tell Everyone NOT to let the dogs out back since the ducklings are only in the corral and I needed to runa nd get something .

I come home and the **** ******************************************** 89y6rq7346w6597346t9374yhrqibjkrfh iasruh Dog has got all the ducklings out and KILLED LIL WAYNE!

I am heart broken. I cant even look at the dog with out thoughts of strangling her. I had to leave the house for a few hours to cool down and I come home and see her and Im STILL having death thoughts.

Last time we kept her for my grandparents she killed my hamster - which I nursed back to health from the brink of death for two months prior. She was just getting all nice and healthy when the devil dog "played". Sad thing is I ahd to finish her off because she was still alive. Soaking wet, numerous puncture wounds and covered in blood.

I am just.... I cant even explain it. I want to cuss out the world and break things and hurt something. I know that this is not a mature response to what Happened. I know that this is not the dogs fault as it is the dogs instincts. I know I shouldnt shun the dog from me since ive know her since she was born but I am just SO MAD!


******************

Well I know there is the famous Micro Duck - Could I have a micro scovie?

Lil Wayne ( Dont like him, but my sister does and she named him ) Is our runt. He was noticably smaller as a day old. Half the sie he should be. Well he was born Monday or so and he hasnt grown AT ALL. I have some non scovie ducklings and some scovie ducklings of the same hatch and they are all three times his sized.

For the first few days I had to help hand feed and water him, he couldnt lift his neck or head very well and isnt a good walker. Very lethargic.


He is doing better now, he is 1 of 21 and is still slow but he can keep his neck / head up and is eating and drinking well on his own.

But - Is is still the size of a day old! The others and all three times his size. I have my mallard duckling ( three week old Jelly Bean ) in with them ( Lil Wayne, 2 mutts, and Jelly ) and Lil wayne sticks close to Jelly's side.


I just thought that this would be interesting to see how big he would get and to see if I might have a micro scovie! Haha... mini scovies...

Pictures comming soon! My camera just has to charge.

I wonder if you do have a MicroScovy. MicroDuck never grew and never feathered out at the same rate as the others. My others were fully grown and feathered and Micro still looked like a week old duckling. Just keep and eye on yours you might be surprised, that all of a sudden, it catches up to the others. But if you do have a MicroScovy, pics please!!!!!

Do you mean 3-4 weeks? Wow, big size difference. Maybe he is really a she. The female scovies are usually smaller than the males. Cute ducks though!

Enjoy them!

No, Micro is male. Here he is now next to another male. Very small.
 
Micro has the most gorgeous little feet... last time I saw your pic I went and looked at Regies feet...Her one good foot is a fair size though - and I took some of her measurements too... I cant remember them all - but from tail to breast she is 11 inches long - My three week old Pekin ducklings are already 7 inches ! I will have to measure some of my other adult Runners for a comparison. She is nearly six months old now- So I dont think she will grow any more.
 
Oh, ok. Somehow, I only saw the pic of the two of them when they were little. Didn't see that pic. Now I see why you said 3-4 months old. LOL Micro is beautiful! So is the other one.

When will he start getting the caruncles? I can't remember when mine started.

Have fun with them.

Haha I think your confused a little. The OP Goatwalker has a scovie that might be a micro duck. ChickenSioux has a micro duck that is a call duck, she is just posting pics of hers. Goatwalker hasn't put any micro scovie pics up yet.
