Show off your house ducks!

Well, instead of just reading everyone elses stories, I too have a house duckling now! He wasn't supposed to be, but.... So this is Louis. He's a 3 week old saxony.

(Hopefully I learned to link correctly...)

Oh he is just too precious! I love hos gigantic his feet are compared to the rest of him, haha! What a sweet little birb. <3

it is normal because over the years with various male zebra finches I've come up with these nicknames for them and it is only because 99% of the time they are all plumped out and round: potsticker, appetizer boy, little hors d'ouvre, tootsie roll, morsel. Then non edible labels: light bulb boy, you that suffers from chunkitis, fat little man. Then for Bit, it's dinosaur girl, pancakitoons, penciling cuz she can stretch tall and thin, baby girl. Endless...

OMG, I died at "potsticker". That's too perfect for a fatty finch-grub! My other favorite is "you that suffers from chunkitis"

We talk goofy to all the animals (shhh. They think they are people). So far the only thing I have called the ducks is flappy feet. No one is overweight but we have told them they were just about roasting size. They come running to kitty kitty because that's how I called the silkies. Lol

They are for eggs so it's not much of a threat to them.

It's all good, no worries. Scovy Momma started the whole "orange sauce" thing as an inside joke when a while back we were all complaining about how passersby often crack cruel jokes about how ducks are for eating, not for taking out on walks. We're taking it back! Orange sauce is OUR WORD, now!

I admit I don't say these food things often to Wobbles cuz frankly, he's just too tiny and would make for one lousy meal. Sometimes I lovingly call him Squab or Squabbles. Because being able to crack a pun AND create a double entendre at the same time make me so, so very happy.

Lol. I remember that. It was my dog that didn't get eaten. We tell the fat cats they look like a meatloaf or a meal for an entire family (with seconds). We aren't gonna eat the cats either. Lol

By those standards I'm pretty sure my cat Mochi could feed a small nation! We call him our Turkey Tabby <3

I have Hemi (very loud motor), Hybrid ( quiet motor), Barney Buford & Lilac. I'm sure they would love the babies but not gonna push it. Lol. As for the big poultry - they admire them from a distance.

Don't we look at baby people & say that we could eat them up? ROTFL

Who else has other pets & how do they get along with the ducks?

I have three Yorkies and a Persian. They mostly ignore the ducks, and the ducks are quick to let the dogs and cat know if they feel like their space is being invaded.
