Show off your house ducks!

Got your Bean fix right here!

SQUEEE!!! I'm diggin' the spots!

So I got a call from my friend at the feed store & a duck was brought in. He asked if I wanted it & I picked it up. Now to figure out if I'm ready to have another ducky...
I always figured if I was going to get another it'd be a tiny baby, but for now this one needs a home. It was in bad shape.

Any idea of the age,sex,breed?

Looks kind of like a Buff Duck, probably about 5-6 weeks old, maybe a little older but not much.

I told the guys there I thought it was a buff when I picked it up.

It let me wash it a lot, (was in bad shape & filthy) & tolerated the hair dryer.
Even let me roll it on it's back to dry the undercarriage feathers, seems pretty mellow.

Scovy Momma, he or she is so cute! I'm thinking this little one and you are going to bond quickly! <3

What a cutie, I am already bonding with him just hearing his story and seeing his/her photo.

Yes!! I am too!!

Ohhh ScovyMama, I love the lil' bugger! I hope you do bond, it's been so long and I'd love nothing more than for you to be happy with another ducky. That poor thing looks in pretty rough shape, he's lucky to have found you. And on Mother's Day, no less! <3

To be honest, part of me thinks he was trying to mate her. When ducks nip, they usually go for the feet or face, but he latched right onto the skin behind her neck, right between her lil' wing nubs, and didn't twist or anything, but he simply would NOT let go! Poor little Beanie bird. :/


@LauraHope , how are you holding up, dear? I know accidents happen and it's so easy to overly hard on ourselves. My baby Milkshake's death was totally out of my hands, but one month later I'm still beating myself up over it and asking "what if". Like I said above, my mom taught me "shuffle, don't step" after she accidentally stepped on and killed a kitten in her youth. The chicks would always gather by her feet, and she would stand there and cry because she was so worried that it would happen again! So it just goes to show, it can happen to absolutely anybody.

Please be okay, sweets

OK, that makes sense and makes me feel better. I'd rather that be the case than he trying to hurt her because he doesn't like her. Still it is too bad she had to go thru that ordeal. I reckon when she's fully mature and bigger she'll be able to fend for herself? But hopefully the two little sweeties will bond.

@Julie Bird you would just die over how sweet my Winter is. Only time she lets out a loud cry is when she's in her pen and wants me to come pick her up. Then when I do, she lays on my chest, snuggles up in my neck, and literally gives me kisses on my mouth with her little beak. She is so calm (and I mean incredibly tame), friendly (so unbelievably sweet), and just so absolutely beautiful. I love my girl <3

AmandaVirginia, that is so precious that she does that. I would die over her cuteness and behavior. Bless her for wanting to be with you. She loves you too. And I am happy by how much you love innocent little girl. Birds are so sweet and amazing to be around.
