Show off your house ducks!

Cupcake started biting cookie now hard all the time. I recorded it and put it here.. you can here both sounds.. I know cookie is a girl for sure now, there is a very distinct quack with her, but cupcake im not sure.. Heres the link.. 

That sounds like a hen and a drake! That corduroy rubbing sound is totally a drake quack.

Mom had a heart attack, so I'm just catching up on all the cuteness here, and reuniting with my own birds after over a week of sleeping in hospital chairs and driving for hours. I am waiting for the weather to clear to take Missy out to play in the river, but she got to play with some small children at a party I ended up leaving early from because I was exhausted... At least mom is feeling better, and things are slowly heading back to normal....

Omg thats never good.. Thank goodness shes alright! ahh Missy. Ive been missing her silly little antics. Hows she doing with the nest issue, ane her new little "babies"? Shes going to make one good mama at least
 
I am glad you are watching them. I hope Cupcake stops soon. Little Cookie doesn't need that. The hormones really turn the boys into raging you know whats.

Yeah, they really do. :/ I feel sooo bad for Bean, I think part of why she's such a nervous wreck is because of Wobbles. I don't know what to do, I want her to be happy but if they don't bond by next mating season I may have to resort to rehoming her into a place where she won't be bullied and can finally just relax! If only she were imprinted on people...sigh.

@Scovy Momma AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH that's so awesome!! You got your baby and can raise her and she'll be an awesome duck and you'll be Scovy Momma again! I'm so happy for you!

@LadyHawkeAvry I'm so sorry...I wish I could just edit the universe and make your life less hectic, you've had blow after blow, and I wish you could be at peace and you and your family could enjoy good health. Hugs and well-wishes to you and your mom.

The mama Muscovy is getting near birdie lockdown, so she rarely gets off her nest other than to jump in the kiddie pool to wet her feathers. Missy has been free to play house in her "nest" as a result. She shoved her play eggs off to one side, so I threw them in the incubator, but everything has to be a nest now. If she is not in her box she digs depressions in the bedding. I'll give her more babies, including saxonies, when I move the mama scovy and her brood of Hers, Theirs, and Anything Else I Could Fit Under There into the grow out pen and move Khan and the Orpington kids to the inner sanctum so they will have access to the outside. Missy will be thrilled with 8 scovies, 2 saxonies, and an unexpectedly crested Ancona to mother!!
 
First of all... OMGGGGGGG Scovy Momma Im Ssooooo happy for you!!!!! That precious little angel!! How cute!! I know it's been a long hard road for you to get to this point, and nobody deserves a baby scovy more than you! That literally made my day. While the world is in an uproarabout this or that, these are the beautiful moments that I look forward to reading. Super excited to grow with you both and looking forward to the stories!!
Thank you hun, that was very sweet!
I do hope she is as easy to train as Daisy was, haha

Oh my word. What a sweet little angelic face. So soft and gentle looking. The baby needs a huge kiss. Congratulations!! Were you able to find a home for that other sweet duck?
I gave her her huge kiss for you!
I still have Dahlia at the moment but she has a home as long as she needs but hopefully she will get a new home before River gets big enough for her house.

Oh poor dear! I know how uncomfortable those hospital chairs are all too well. I'm glad she's feeling much better.

Why isn't Beanie Baby imprinted on people, hun? Haven't you had her since she was in shell?
Thank you, I know all I've done for a while here is whine that I miss Dais & ya'll have been so sweet. I'm glad I have had you to whine to!
