Support Group for Abused Duck Keepers

[BelovedBirds]

I said I would, and so I shall, I have created a safe space for duck keepers!
I know how hard it can be, none of your non poultry friends would understand- the struggle of keeping ducks.

Ducks can be very rude and disrespectful creatures. Full of sass, full of wrath.
So welcome to the place where you can rant, and receive support!

@BabyGotQuack @picklestheduck get over here!

I'll go first.
This morning, I attempted to kindly show Dougie that the new water bucket is nothing to be afraid of!
She's been upset each time she's seen it, lately. She likes the black one previously, but an orange one, with a white handle? I don't think so.

All was going well at first...
And then...

Chomp!

Hormones strike again!

I guess I just expected a little respect

Thank you so much for creating this! It’s true no one quite understands what we have to suffer through every day. Mistress Munchkin has been known for being abusive for far too long. I can only apologize for getting her actual help from a vet when she had bumblefoot and accidentally giving her the wrong type of grapes(she wanted the sweeter ones). Mistress Munchkin I beg you please have mercy on your poor beaten up servant. I can only try my best!

If I gave my ducks the wrong kind of grapes... oof. That wouldn't go down well at all.
I recently offered miss Sprightly a bite of banana, I stupidly let her accidentally grab the peel- and then she spat it out in shock and disgust. She ran away before I could apologise, and she hasn't spoken to me since

Just know we're all right there with you. We're all doing our best

When my runner Zinnia hatched some ducklings last year, she attacked and bit me repeatedly.
She thought she was so fierce and it didn't hurt at all.
I don't blame her, of course. She was protecting all 11 of her precious peepers.

My boy loves to walk on my feet as I walk
That day I was wearing my moccasins and he sure loved the rabbit fur
He was also angry at me for taking the most popular miss daisy away to give her neck a break from the boys and his sister who has the fungal issue
Lord forbid I hold back females when he had 9 other girls he could go to lol
He is truly my biggest brat but also my most loving who wants to be held and given attention to

Welcome to support group, that sounds rough!

She thought she was so fierce and it didn't hurt at all.

At least it didn't hurt!
I wouldn't tell her that though, it would probably offend her to know, after being so fierce and all.

Any pictures of the littles?

Here's a video. She hatched them last summer.
