Support Group for Abused Duck Keepers

It has been moth season here for a couple of days, so my ducks don't always want to go back into the run at night.

Last night I was literally telling them "ok, go to bed now" in the mean mommy voice... And they all lined up and went in.

They're not officially more obedient than my kid.

The ducks eat moths. Looks like i need to bring them camping with me

I did this once and I don't reccomend. Sprightly laid an egg in my bed area and Dougie pooped on my pillow.
It was fun though, despite that chaos

I'm now imagining trying to leash a duck...

We have a camper that would be a big no. But is hilarious to think about

I have harnesses for my chickens. They dont work, i tried doing it because i want them to be able to range in my backyard a little. Maybe the ducks will do it

I will . I can just put a fence up and they can range. But they have no grass so i feel bad.

Grass? What is this grass you speak of?

Ok, so this picture is slightly misleading... This area only gets watered when it rains, am I live in a place that doesn't do that very often.

The chickens still range out here, they eat the bugs and scratch at dirt

I always thought it was neat how they get used to routine!
I come out at dusk to put everyone into the coop at night and I always say, "Go night night!" as I go through the fence. They all line up and start heading towards their house before I even make my way towards them.
