Be careful, they'll expect this kind of treatment daily!

"More more!"

I learned that the hard way
Or maybe i didn't learn, I dont think that when the summer i will be able to watch the beetles chewing up the roses when the ducks would enjoy them so much

Missed opportunity

Then I definitely suggest you get ducks. Although some of my chickens have attempted to swim in the kiddie pool, they don’t float well and can’t get good maximum speed due to the absence of webbed toes.

Chickens definitely lack the... duckness.

Chickens definitely lack the... duckness.

It’s true. Ducks are just one of a kind. Even if God just said “eh let’s waterproof that chicken and give it some propellers!”

Actually.......... I haven't found that to be the case at all. Or at least with gamefowl. My two stags were 2 months old when I got them, the next day they were jumping up and down on me, preening my hair, following me around. As adults, they fly to my hand for treats, and run alongside me

My ducks do this!
I run and they run behind me, and try to fly, following me, quacking with joy.
It feels great!

The neighbours think I've lost it, though

Well duh but what duckness traits are top of your list

Ok here is the actual list.1) beautiful feathers, that's why I don't love khaki kambells. 2) could hypothetically be able to fly. 3) go broody. I ain't getting no more birds that can't keep themselves going. OK maybe I'll make an exception for leghorns and ISA browns

My neighbors have long since known I’ve lost it. I have a camera by the coop that I talk to them through, I run around with them, do all sorts of weird things. Speak of the devils

Oh that too. In my case the neighbors have lost it with all the crowing, so super loud ducks is a no no. Hence MUSCOVY

If I were to get ducks, what would you say I should get? I love muscovy

It doesn’t matter what you start with you will get duck fever abd rbf yo with menu types
I started with 2 pekin then a khaki
Then had babies pekin x khaki
Then I got buff , silver and blue Swedish
And now the lady that I got my khaki and Swedish from is having me incubate some silver appleyards for her
I told her stop getting more kinds it’s making my flock grow
So in the near future I will be adding in 2 silver appleyards
