Well since I’m a guy it’ll be a princess, but I understand the gist. How do you go away on vacation? I’m always nervous that the person caring for my chickens will make a mistake or do something stupid like forget to lock them up, feed them, etc. Not to mention that I miss them.

Eventhough the people on the other side of the block have chickens and watch mine while I’m on vacation I just am so stressed out worrying about them that I feel like I should skip the vacation.

Hi all, I also recently rescued a drake -- someone left him on the beach in my town. I have had him for about two months. His colors came in about a month ago, so I now know he's a Buff duck (gorgeous) but still fairly young. It took about a month, but now he is fully integrated with my flock of six chicken hens. He LOVES his hens. When I first brought him home he was terrified of me, but is slowly, slowly getting so that he doesn't panic every time I walk by, and he even takes a few steps towards me when the girls come running over for treats. He does panic if I try to touch him, so I don't. I am aware he may start mating the hens -- if I get him a girl duck, should I get an adult? How hard is it to introduce ducks? (I've done it with a lot of chickens, so am accustomed to the fighting...)

It would be great if you could get another duck about the same size/age as the one you found. Are you sure its a male? If so, then you could get 1 or more females, or even just one male. Just don't get excess males to females. Drakes can be hard on hens if they don't have enough to go around.
Post some pics if you get a chance. :clap
