Such a Cool setup for him my Friend. I am so glad he will have a way to get around now.

Update on PingyWingy, who is well in himself with a voracious appetite and a loud voice to summon me and his best buddy, O Pato. But he is still not walking after 9 weeks. I was worried that his knees are getting stiff, yet he cannot have longer in the water therapy because he has wet feather on his undercarriage.

My friend brought round a wheelchair for Pingy today. After am initial objection to oing in it, e settled well. I let him go back to his inflatable day bed for a while and when I came to put him back in the wheelchair, no fighting. He must like it. So far he has managed to poop through the hole provided and so he will be more clean than he was when sitting in his poop until I changed his puppy pad. I'm going to restart him on Cosequin, in a smaller dose as the teaspoon dose gave him diarrhea, and restart ibuprofen as I need to passively move his legs more frequently. His best buddy O pato is still devotedly hanging rund with him all day

That's a really nifty contraption.

Your duck is very lucky to have you!

Glad to hear you are finding new ways
Sorry he isn’t up walking yet but he definitely is full of life and is well loved

Im glad to hear he has a new way to help him get better. I sure hope he is better soon and can walk again.
He is one lucky duck to have you as his owner!

I may have some abuse starting up, not towards me though….so far.


Around a week and a half ago Truffle’s wicked stepmother huffed at her “duck hiss.” Since then Truffle has been like an unruly toddler that learned a bad word and now won’t stop screeching it at everyone.

She’s huffed at the dog. She huffed at the cat. She huffed at her mom. She huffed at the inter dimensional entity that lives on the ceiling. She huffed at the geese. She huffed at my iPad. She’s been huffing and puffing at anything and everything.



worst of all she seems quite proud of her new “sentence enhancers.”

Sounds like someone bigger needs to huff back and put her in her place, lol.

We're thinking of doing something similar with duck water, but given that we reach -10 occasionally, we're thinking of doing a geo-thermal green house ( in a while, it'll take both time and money)
Are you guys thinking geothermal? Or are you just going to do raised beds and such?

Yes we are going with geothermal greenhouse, trombe wall and access from the house to it via tunnel.
Bought this place raw land 6 years ago and just started building on it 3 years ago. So far got a pole barndominium I built almost done with living quarters, took me a year to build it and another year to finish the interior.

The town gave us 2 weeks to get rid of the ducks.. Im sad and mad. Im already going through a tough time let alone being made to get rid of my ducks. Good thing a friend of ours can take them but im not sure if he will keep them or put them in the butcher flock... i sure hope its not the second option...
