Rescued Duckling... newbie

Pics
I think the shade cloth over patios is what i have, i bought it to put up around my porch for shade - but with having to move never finished. It looks like a screen kinda, but is made of similar to plastic/nylon. You can see a piece of it in the one picture.
 
I really like the material they are made out of we bought one to put over our tiny 100 gal pond since it gets full sun all day now and was making the water too warm for our gold fish. They can be bought in some many sizes too.

Looks like what I am talking about.
 
More temporary adjustments until I am able to do more... they seem to like these additions. I'm going to work on putting up the screen stuff tomorrow now that I have the major stuff my mom wanted completed done. I still have some minor things to do, but i can work on this more now.

I know it looks kinda bad - with its mismatched stuff, but it's temporary and safe atm. Going to put up more plastic stuff on the one side. No more netting!
Speedy got stuck in it last night and had it wrapped around her bill and tongue. It was a good thing my puppy skye started barking to let us know and that my mom was here to help. I kept her and fancy with me in the tent last night, gave her acv, and trying to get her to eat some yogurt.

Oh my gosh how did Speedy get stuck in it was it on the ground?

I had a blk snake stuck in it before when I had it wrapped around a trellis to keep the chickens out I had to cut the snake out of the netting. And my goose got some wrapped around her bill once I had to cut her free. I am glad you got her free of it and your mom was there to help. Hope Speedy is doing good this morning. Looks like you have been busy I think you have done a good job keeping your kids safe.
 
She seems fine - are soft stuff, but didnt want yogurt. She did steal bites of my overdone microwaved cinnamon bun and dunked them in the pool. She also let fancy rape and plunder her IN the pool - but she waited until I was there to watch of course... she won't go in the pool unless I'm close by.
I tried to look in her mouth when she opened it, but she didnt open wide enough and she loves me.and all, but unlike fancy, she doesn't like me to check her hurts after the initial check. She was drinking though and I made some ice blocks with peas, melon, cauliflower all chopped - I put those in the.pool cause the water gets really warm around here.
 
Fancy was attacked by my dog... I did what was suggested and everything I could think of that I read. He died last night after laying his head on my arm as I laid next to him. I started wailing and bawling - I've calmed down but every little thing sets me off bawling again.

I am turning this table I found that's shaped like a box into a planter and am placing him in it with flowers and calling it Fancy's Last Stand.

Also gave the three eggs I had set aside - non refrigerated - back to the girls to hatch so I can have one of his babies - It'll be named baby huey.

I'll post a picture of the planter when it's done.
 
Worked on this all day - straightening it up. I took some of the pictures sitting in my little hang out with them gazebo, which is next to Fancy's box with the flowers in it.

I'm going to paint a sign for it, maybe get my niece to help if she comes over soon... that says Fancy's Last Stand.

It's smaller than they're used to at my old place, but it's something at least.
I miss my fancypants so much, it hurts. Everything I did in the way of designing stuff for them was geared towards making it easy on him because he was bigger. All the ramps and the cat tree conversion...
I hope one of the eggs hatches a male, if not I'll go get another.
